- Many vehicles come to us for testing and are able to impress in their own unique ways. It always ends up being the story of the “underdog” which ends up impressing the most, particularly when it offers a full assault on all fronts, meet the Haval Jolion.
In Short:
• Model Tested: Haval Jolion 1.5T Super Luxury
• Price: R398 900 (October 2021)
• Engine: 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol
• Power/Torque: 105 kW/210 Nm
• Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch
• Fuel efficiency: 7.5 L/100 km (claimed)
• Load capacity: 337 litres
The major point to focus on here is its pricing. The vehicle starts at just under R400,000 and that is in its top trim spec. So why is this important? Well, it’s important for a number of reasons.
Safety
The Jolion comes equipped with so many active and passive safety systems, you quickly tend to forget that you are in a sub R400,000 vehicle and one which competes against many others that simply can’t match its spec sheet. These systems include the likes of adaptive cruise control as standard, which includes Traffic Jam Assist (semi-autonomous drive in traffic). There is also traffic-sign recognition and pedestrian/cyclist detection with automated emergency braking functions. Add to this, blind-spot assist, airbags throughout the cabin, ISOFIX child seat mounting points and what you have here is a fully-loaded vehicle.
Technology
For starters, there is keyless entry and go. Then you get a digital dashboard that is customisable. Above the digital dash is a large HUD (heads-up-display) which too can be customised, then of course you get steering wheel-mounted controls, paddle shifters, electric windows and mirrors all around, a panoramic sunroof, climate-controlled air-conditioning and even an electronically adjustable driver’s seat. Featuring at the centre of the dash is a super high-definition 12.3” touchscreen display which offers an excellent UI, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and ease of access to all the driver-related and entertainment features.
Space
The seats are incredibly comfortable upfront. At the back, however, is just where the surprise starts. There is proper space for 3 adults in the back. Impressive headroom, knee room, two USB’s, air vents and large expansive windows make for what is truly a spacious family vehicle. The boot measures in at a healthy 337-litres of luggage load capacity and the seatbacks can drop flat for loading larger objects. The general idea here is true practicality.
The Drive
The Jolion is powered by a 1.5-litre turbopetrol unit which produces 105 kW and 210 Nm of torque all pushed through a 7-speed dual-clutch automated transmission. It’s the same motor we’ve seen previously in the likes of the Haval H2 and lacks some elements of refinement when compared to some of its European based counterparts. Haval claim fuel economy achievable at a combined 8.1/L per 100km, whereas I was only able to achieve 10.1/L per 100km. Perhaps the engine and gearbox are one of the few drawbacks of this new model, but this is being picky because the general offering is such exceptional value.
In Conclusion
It's properly striking to look at. The bold LED lights, large proportion and simply unheard-of levels of luxury, technology and features at this price point are simply impossible to match. If the Haval Jolion, Mandarin for “First Love” is any indication of where the Chinese automaker is heading here in South Africa and globally, the competition better be worried because this brings out the heavy artillery.

Got my Ultra last week..Loving it..Still trying to work out some of the settings...Sooo many of them.
Such a stunning vehicle, enjoy.
Yoh this car mara!!! Its a must have. I am soooo blown away
Such a epic vehicle
You can turn down the volume of the indicators by the way... We love ours, had it since April and still love every single drive in it. Good review just your sound quality could have been a lot better.
Thanks, Floyd, really enjoyed all time spent behind the wheel of the Jolion. Will definitely research newer mic options for upcoming roll-outs.
Can't wait for mine..only getting stock in November
Do you think the boot is big enough for a pram? I'm really considering buying the car
@@braddles00 Yes definitely. The boot is pretty big (deep and tall)
@@wiseredragon thanks for getting back to me, appreciate it. Pretty much sold on it now.
Picked up our White Luxury today... What a beauty!! Just don't know how to use the interior lights and turn the screen off at night
Just booked mine in Nepal. The feeling is premium.
Super solid, its a great choice
Good work bro. Great review
Thanks so much Mukhtar
2:06 that’s very Matrix driving backwards.
The Chinese are giving us what determines has been charging us triple
Agree, and this is reflecting in the sales.
Can you please do a video showing us the futures of this car
Great review. Pity I am not the target market
Thanks very much, this really is a game changer!
First view of this guy......really good
Hi.🙂 Can you please explain how do I turn off the intelligent driving permanently. It activates everytime I re-start the car. I want it to stay off. Especially the lane assist.
Hi, would be best to speak to service centre/agents about this. Some vehicles due to regulatory requirements only allow systems to be disabled upon each restart and not permanently switched off. Might be something to do with its safety ratings which prohibit permanently disabling certain systems
Suspension? Hard?
Suspension very soft and comfortable,
The Jolion is definitely suited to being a family SUV, with a soft cushioning ride. Good balance between being reasonably communicative and very cushioning.
What about suspension plz details
F
Does this car boot open automatically? Or you need to use the key?
Hi, it opens automatically
@@TechnoBokUnboxings Please explain how. Because I've been trying and can't seem to get it right.
@@lee-rah Hi Lee-rah, as long as the key is near the vehicle it should open just by pressing the boot release button on the boot lid
The way that screen vibrates worries me
My screen doesn't vibrate
Thank you for the review in Egypt 🇪🇬 here its now known since last July and actually I planned to buy it the higher deluxe one I know its chineese car but do you think it will compete European or at least will be one of the best performing car and with good life time ⏲ thanks
