Авто/Мото
We have a Jolion Hev, I find it very comfortable and economical. 55 litre tank, I use E10, I usually fill up with 2 bars to empty, trip computer regularly indicates over 900 to empty. Only bugbear is the adaptive cruise. Approaching a bend on cruise it will slow dramatically, dropping over 10kph I find this dangerous as a vehicle behind would be unprepared. You can override it by gently pressing the accelerator pedal. I've read another owners report and it claimed that GWM have a patch that will remove this function. Other yhan that, it is an excellent vehicle, great features
Paul, have you thought about doing a nighttime interior viewing ? I don’t think anyone else does them and I’m pretty sure most people (myself included ) would like to see the dash lighting at night, cheers mate.
Good point - bonus points for being able to turn down the dashboard lights and the centre screen off!
Agreed
Yes do this
I asked them to do this last year and they told me it was a great idea. Still waiting.....
I drive one in Thailand and I think there isn't much difference between here and there. I can turn down the dashboard lights and turn the centre screen off. Hope it helps.
Anxiously waiting for your Corolla Cross Hybrid review 🙏
"Hi i'm Paul,& the enormous Haval logo on the front,not a huge fan ",. then purchases the Raptor with FORD from one headlight to the other
American bias
@@igi2135 nah, the haval logo looks shit, if it was in the black as grill would be alot better
the front end of this looks better than the standard Jolion, especially the lights. They should restyle the standard Jolion to have the same front end
there are sections on our major highways where the road is like that the hume for example, even travelling at 110 it's going to give you and your passengers quite a nasty fright. that is a really good test that you include.
What a great car, I love the new grill it looks very cool
We have a petrol varient as our 2nd car and have had it for around 6 months. Great little SUV with all the tech and safety kit for a really good price.
Appreciate your verdict Paul.. Thanks. 😊👍
Another fantastic review Paul, yes I took the plunge and bought one in NZ, overall a fantastic car.
Five weeks in and I'm getting 5.8l/100km so it looks promising.
The price differential is not as great in NZ as under current rules the petrol version attracts an additional tax of around $1500 while the hybrid gets a clean car rebate of just over $2k bringing the difference down to less than $4k so a bit more justifiable.
Coming from a five year old Toyota Corolla ZR my immediate reaction is that this is just so much easier to get into and out of, especially for older drivers who aren't quite as flexible as they once were.
I'm impressed and would definitely recommend these cars.
I would’ve kept the Corolla.
@@THEAC83 nah, out of its five year warranty and I needed something a little higher.
@@THEAC83 plus I didn't fancy waiting two years for another Toyota.
@@DSquared_Ceramics worth the wait though, especially in resale alone
@@THEAC83 nothing is worth the wait mate, we can die at anytime so might as well do what u like
Another detailed review Paul. You always give car buyers plenty to ponder over. Could be some good runout deals on these with the new model dropping. Looking forward to your review on the 2025 model.
Damn it Paul, do you ever take a day off?? No wonder you are the best, most comprehensive car reviewer going. Must be all the practice you're getting. :) Never mind all the research going on behind the scenes that we don't see.
Because of this video I have decided to stick to my Jolion Ultra Lux and not do a trade in to the HEV. Thanks for a excellent detailed video. Greetings from South Africa
Paul you are the best man, the details you include are what avarage person wants to know
Thanks for the review! Any chance we'll get to see a video review of the Cupra Formentor? :)
Wonder if the new jolion s 2023 coming to Australia? Would be nice to see you do a review on that car
Just a thought Paul you mentioned the regen braking wasn't very aggressive, I agree even at their highest setting but I feel they are actually more aggressive when using one peddle mode.
Where is the link to how this car compare to others? Is the with only noise levels etc ..? Great review. Thanks
Hi, No clearly said, Corolla cross better or Haval jolion?
Hi Paul, are you going to do a video review of the Corolla Cross?
Hi Paul, are you planning a Corolla Cross hybrid video review soon? Interested in your take on it. Keep up the great work! Cheers
Hi Paul,
I absolutely love your car reviews. Could you please review the new Toyota Corolla Cross GX hybrid. I really wanted to know what were your thoughts on the vehicle and whether it was worth considering it.
Cheers
Its sweet to drive. Did a test a week ago. Typical Toyota interior but comfy. Responsive infotainment and it packs a punch in power mode. Loved the experience.
Paul in the next reviews can you please mention after hundreds of kilometres if we need to change the body parts are they expensive may be with any brand Kia , haval, Mazda , Toyota . This will make us understand regarding the body parts
I think this Jolion looks great. I don't think it has the punch expected for vehicles in the same class. That's all i can see as area of improvement It looks amazing and you have told us that it drives well so all that is left is the drivetrain improvement maybe for future models. I love the look especially the interior layout. Very nice car.
Good to see Haval you on the payroll
On the DB data. could you guys add the benchmark avg db for comfortable ride . doesnt have to be German class and then add + or - the benchmark value. that would be awesome. often we might struggle to understand how far off it from the benchmark avg.
Ah yes. I think we will try and include average for the segment in the spreadsheet. That way you can compare to what the rest of that segment is like.
Do they have a full review for a corolla cross? I can't find it...
I’m looking for a good car for Uber driving. Which hybrid is best for that. For city driving and a lot of highway driving.
Hello. what watch do you have on your wrist? brand?
Thank you for the great review. I think it is a nice looking car among its peers where some could attract a love or hate reaction from customers in regard to their stylings. Speaking of lane keeping, why do you try to see if it passes the third lane? Is it that important? I think the car is trying to stay on the right (left) side of the road. By the way, are you likely to get hold of a Tank 500 for review in Australia? The Chinese market has reacted enthusiastically to it. It measures similarly to a Land Cruiser with a 3 litre turbo V6 under the bonnet.
I wish you could have the option to get rid of the navigation on the side while using Android auto. It looks stupid if the nav isn't being used
In nz they are 2k off the price atm .that with the rebate and the petrol version has to pay a clean car fee they are only 2k difference in price
Paul is looking stunning 2day 🐦
He is happiest doing the reverse speed test.
Well said not worth the $7,000 over the petrol only models.
Exactly, it's just 3.1L/100km more efficient in the hybrid version. Would take forever to save $7k.
It drives better
Do any of their models and trims have matrix LEDs?
Best I've managed to do is 8.4 seconds in my Jolion Hybrid :) did the run a few times to make sure - slowest I got was 8.7 - driver error lol :) I believe Haval themselves say it does it in 8.2?
It's beautiful
I test drove the normal and hybrid version recently. I think the normal petrol makes more sense as 7k difference is a lot to break even for the hybrid. I think the design is very stylish, interior feels good and the back seat space was surprisingly good for a small car. My biggest concern, a strange one, is the logo, It just looks and screams “ inexpensive”. 😊 I so wish they could have a logo change just as KIA.
I took all the badges off the back of mine, looks a lot better
@@zacazzz Hi there, it’s been some time since I test drove it, From memory I think the interiors were same across the top non hybrid and hybrid version
Thanks Paul. I think you're right. The 'normal' Jolion is my choice.
Paul, I think i saw this car near Kilsyth South. I may think you were in that car?
We don’t get Haval in the UK or most EU countries. The only EU country to get Haval is Bulgaria. They have the Jolion, but only the 110kW petrol version. They don’t get the Jolion hybrid, but they get the H6 hybrid.
i think EU will get its brother brand Coffee 01 and its syster brand ORA CAT late this year.
@@kuyasingapore They will. I actually saw a WEY Coffee in Germany the other day.
And the Ora Cat will be coming here in the UK.
hi, Paul, Jolion in China is called 初恋，（Choo-lee-an）which means first love。
Can anyone tell me how to keep it in economy mode
I didn’t know before this that I’m allowed to do 130 km/h if I’m overtaking - good tip, learnt something new
Overtake should be at the speed limit. Exceeding speed limits of the road is not justified for overtaking.
This however can be handy when overtaking roadtrain or in critical conditions where speed and torque can save your life. Yes, speed to save your life.
@@rsmnh7892 understand. I guess the suggestion in the video is fairly reckless then
You are not allowed to exceed posted speed limit for any reason in Australia sadly
Feeling better? /r /s
You can’t. As someone who got a speeding ticket for overtaking a road train last week I can assure you, that you aren’t “allowed” to speed to overtake.
Hi Paul, when are you going to review the Toyota Corolla Cross? An added bonus wouId be if you reviewed the Hybrid Atmos AWD version!
Hi there Paul,sorry mate carExpert only reviews passenger cars, Ute and SUV alike...no other form or type of vehicle allowed say "Big" or small? Van? Bus tourism?
Hi Paul waiting for your review of Corolla cross
Just bought one in Austin Texas, drove 2100 miles in 3 months. Fuel eco is about 27 mpg, not very impressive. The 2.0L engine is wimp and noisy. Steering is a bit off, and the thing cost me over $30g. Not a good value. Regret it.
Better than Corolla cross 👍👍
Disappointing Experience with Haval - Quality, Maintenance, and Battery Issues
I am writing this review to express my profound disappointment with the Haval car I purchased, and I believe it is essential to share my experience for the benefit of potential buyers.
Parts Falling Off and Weird Noise in Tyres:
Over the past few months, my Haval has been plagued with multiple issues, including parts falling off the car and strange noises emanating from the tires. These concerns have not only compromised the safety of the vehicle but have also significantly diminished my driving experience.
Battery Problems:
To exacerbate matters, I recently had to replace the car battery. For a vehicle that is just over a year old, this is an alarming issue. A new car should not encounter battery problems so early in its lifespan. I want to emphasize that I have diligently maintained my car, ensuring everything is turned off when not in use. Despite these precautions, the need for a new battery raises questions about the overall reliability and quality of the vehicle.
Maintenance Challenges and Customer Expectations:
While I understand that wear and tear are inevitable, the frequency and severity of these issues for a relatively new car are unacceptable. I expected a new car to be a reliable and hassle-free investment, yet my experience suggests otherwise. The challenges I've faced in addressing these issues through maintenance checks and the lack of effective solutions from the dealership have added to my frustration.
Customer Expectations and Brand Reputation:
I want to emphasize the importance of upholding customer expectations for a brand like Haval. Quality control and customer service are integral to maintaining a positive brand reputation. I hope my feedback serves as a call for a thorough review of manufacturing standards and an enhancement of customer support processes.
In conclusion, my ownership experience with Haval has been marred by consistent and unresolved issues. I hope that prospective buyers take this feedback into consideration, and I urge Haval to address these concerns promptly to restore confidence in the brand.
I'm confused about your comparisons, isn't the qashqai with the Tucson? Also the fortuner with the Everest?
X Trail would be Nissans competitor to Tucson
Qashqai is a size down
It seems like pretty good value for money. Not particularly outstanding in any one area, but acceptable.
Really the Chinese manufactures need to move with the times. USB-A is old boring thing that becomes loose as time goes by. They needed to fit USB -C and offer wireless CarPlay /Android Auto . I am beginning to hate usb a cables.
I drove the H6 hybrid and could have sworn the cruise control was a stalk a la Audi-esque which was a shame. Good to see the Jillion has it on steering wheel
I checked some of the apps you have on your iphone.
Hi can you please make a vedio on byd seal please
Fun fact : In french 🇫🇷🇧🇪🇨🇦🇨🇭🇱🇺🇦🇩🇨🇮.. Haval means Swallow.
Couldn't the engineers find a better spot to mount the front radar?
Seriously looking at a Haval Jolion, but, should we go Hybrid or not🤔 what do others think?
get the ultra for 7k less
Just purchased a Jolion Hybrid Ultra due for delivery in 1 week. To say my experience with the dealership was awesome would be a lie. This may be a reflection of my experience with the finance team. The car is stunning, but the teams I've dealt with purchasing my vehicle have taken away from the experience. I'm a fan of the car, and I can't wait to see my car, I'll never go back to this dealership again.
How long do these Haval last??
10,000km then they fall apart…
I don't see myself buying an electric vehicle yet. Maybe hybrid yeah I can reconsider.
Does it have a driver monitoring system? On the driver side tweeter it looks like it has a camera/sensor array.
Ours is turned off, it can't see your eyes if you are wearing sunnies
woa verry good
Let's do some basic calculation:
Julion Ultra fuel consumption: 8.1L/ 100km
Julion Ultra hybrid fuel consumption: 5L/ 100km
Every 100km you save 3L = 3x $2 (petrol price) = $6
You pay $7000 extra for the hybrid
7000 / 6 = 1166 × 100km = 116,000Km
That's an average of 6 years driving until you can balance out the extra cost.
Most people don't take that into consideration...which is odd
NWO will make blood cheaper than petrol to force people into EVs.
@@daweigo6851 Because the hybrid version also gives you more power and better functionality.
That's what I did when I brought the Lexus, many people asked me why I don't get the hybrid version, I mean I'm not really sure if I'm still drive this one after 5 years.
hyber version gets more power , better acceleration, EV type feeling and etc.... that little BATTERY is not only designed for Saving $$
Do you think that one day a manufacturer will produce a hybrid/ ev that has a full size spare, making it suitable and safe for long distance travel in Australia. In my situation anything less is just not fit for purpose.
@@wcrash9361 in 42 years of driving I've had five flats, three of which were not within 50klms of a tyre retail outlet, and two of which were not repairable, It would be a very big issue for me, and no spare tyre would be a deal breaker for me.
@@wcrash9361 I'm all good, I don't think I have had bad luck, I drive a lot of klm's on bad roads, I think that you have had extraordinary good luck. My point was more that we all have different experiences, and mine has shown me it is better to be prepared.
@@wcrash9361 Thanks for your input Crash. Just quietly, I don't think my opinion is rubbish, and I would extend the courtesy of not calling your opinion rubbish. Likewise, I don't necessarily think that the experience of you and and your family make not having a spare tyre a non-issue. May you and yours luck continue.
@@keithwilliams515I’ve been driving for 8 years and have had 5 flats, just depends where you drive
very good car we buy same👍
Great design. High price. Its almost same as Toyota RAV4. Start button hides behind the steering wheel. Cup holders are small. Sunroof is an unnecessary feauture that pushes the price up.
rav 4 hybrid would cost you nearly 50k
It has launch control for better start
The rear reminds me of a Volvo SUV
Corolla cross being compared to the Jolion? Are you kidding? Which aspect? The four wheels? Tough try.
I've test driven this in Thailand
And ?
so how's your experience with the car
Thanks for letting us know.
@@mvnorsel6354 it’s terribly
Looks a bit like a Volvo?? Nice
41k not worth it but Just bought one today the ultra hybrid for 35k good deal I think
Who gives a f**k how fast a car goes in reverse ?
🤣🤣
25k US.?...they’d sell a ton here..( If they decided to)
The americans have biases against chinese cars
nah, it would be way more expensive because of tariff
It's a bit gutless but overall, looks like a neat package and I love it when manufacturers offer a green. No reach on the steering wheel though, yikes. What is that about? If you're long-legged with short arms, you're kinda ****ed. Or even just tall in general.
@@wcrash9361 And how tall are you?
@@EnShinNoi 6'0 here, no problem
Would be nice to know if Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is wireless or wired. Otherwise very thorough walkthrough, thanks for a proper evaluation.
He said in the video, it is wired
@@markjones7044 thanks you are correct, he did said so. Apologies.
Needs more badges..( jeebus)..looks like a Volvo from the rear..Mitsubishi from the front..
Thank you so much Paul and also when the Chery Tiggo 8 pro is available in your country please do review it,it will be worth you time,thank you
Top speed ?😮
looks good but most likely in malaysia will choose the turbocharged variant
with this price, a BYD Atto 3 is obviously a lot better
be careful of BYD's quality control 😄
I have been living in China for 17 years and Australia 18 years, I can say China got way better roads in all city roads and high ways. And you are right, these cars are not designed for rough Australian roads.
Looks better inside than an Audi Q7 LOL.
Why does Paul only test the bounce on road with chinese cars... Or has he done it with other brands as well... Cant remember seeing it....
He goes over those wavy bits of pavement in all of them, even the Bentley, at about 130kph..
I see paul, I clicked the video even if I’m not interested in the car
joll e on
Anyone bought this car ?? Who can give customer reviews
Your Diplomacy is as professional as ever Paul😀Not wanting to offend but why would anyone pay $7000 more for this and invest so much into an unproven brand and support?
china is paying him good money to keep these ccp brands up at the top. shills galore in good ol australia
aussies are buying it like hot sliced bread matey
Am surprised how many iner city rav4 buyers go for hybrid, would take so many years to pay back the hybrid cost
@@wcrash9361 yep very popular in china with good name for reliability
@@user-aa40 So there paying $7000 more for a Haval Hybrid Matey?
Just a big mistake I have done. It is rubbish and all those reviewers are making money by misleading buyers
Why don’t Chinese cars have DAB+!!
i am confused, what is DAB and why is it good?
@@fxght digital radio stations
In China, we use car computers to download APP, and use SIM card traffic to receive digital broadcasting. DAB was covered by 4G and 5G technologies before it developed in China.However, I believe that Chinese manufacturers will be able to add this feature soon. The cost is not high, but there is no demand for DAB in the Chinese market. Imagine who would listen to music on tape now.
@@lionheart3025 this car is sold in Australia for Australians. It’s not China. People want the DAB radio there mate
I live in victoria and if the cops catch you doing more than 100 even overtaking youll get a speeding ticket so yeah i dont care how the car handles at 130km/h
Yeah I agree, that seemed like a rather invalid point, its a speeding fine anywhere in the country!
Australian road..are you joking.
LDV D90 please
D90 is not sold in Australia anymore, unlikely Paul will review it.
@@yblksama it shows on their website with msrp and all
Taking a Jolion to a race track and complain about body roll is just like taking a Ferrari sf90 to an off-road proving ground and then complaining that it got stuck!!! No sense at all
We drive up and down hilly windy road, so I'm glad he added this aspect of the cars handling
It's not really good value for money, when you consider the total ownership cost over a few years as this is gonna lose lot more money in depreciation compared to other well established brands.
@@wcrash9361 does Haval pay you to comment on these videos my Communist party friend?
Hate digital speedo couldn't stand that.
1st
First is being phased out from 31/12/22.
good to know
Vv. Z X
Got to do your research, perhaps the Toyota due to less depreciation. Get the brochures and a calculator and go to work.
No spare parts, no longevity or durability, no resale, like a throwaway Bic lighter, so what's the point?
😆
Stupid comment 😁😁😁 big brand in china with a good name for reliability, chinese consumers also very demanding ..well established brand out side Australia...but obviously not the car for you🙃
@@wcrash9361 all Havals have issues and they are worthless in 3 years once new LOL
Also if i could sware on here more you would have heard me! What the actual F!!!!!!! Why.... Just f'n why? Would someone need a damn car wash guide lines 🤦.... Im done! If people need that.... God help us all!
Please do the world a favour..... And see your self out the door.... If you can't park... You need car wash guide (to drive in a straight line).... If you need hill holds in a bloody auto....
P.s no one is talking about who is looking at how hackable these cars are...
No one is taking about who has access to the data of these cars!, with or without phone access. Where the servers are that hold your vital info... It might be great if you can track down and partner with a cyber team of some sort to actually start doing FULL reviews being as (cars are now large mobile phones).
Yet another car without a spare! Which would be a pass for me...as well as it being a Haval.
Getting hard to find options with spares 😟
