UPDATE: 2023 GWM Haval Jolion Lux hybrid joins range
GWM Haval has added a more-affordable hybrid version of its Jolion small SUV to the local line-up, with the mid-spec Lux gaining an electrified powertrain.
The new variant is priced from $36,990 drive-away – in line with the flagship petrol Jolion S introduced in late 2022 – with equivalent features to the petrol Lux, but with the hybrid's unique front bumper and alloy wheels.
First published in November 2022, our earlier story, below, has been updated – and pulled forward – to reflect the latest addition to the range.
Wearing Jolion S badging, the more powerful grade replaces the limited-run, blacked-out Jolion Vanta offered in early 2022.
However, unlike the Vanta, the Jolion S features an uprated version of the standard turbo-petrol engine and a more-sophisticated multi-link independent rear suspension setup.
It is priced from $36,990 drive-away, which is $3000 more than the Ultra petrol, but $4000 less than the range-topping Ultra hybrid.
Under the bonnet, the Jolion S includes a more powerful version of the standard 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 130kW and 270Nm – up 20kW/50Nm over the standard petrol, but down 9kW/105Nm compared to the hybrid.
It continues to be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission exclusively sending power to the front wheels.
GWM Haval claims the Jolion S consumes 7.5 litres of fuel per 100km. This is 0.6L/100km less than the current 1.5L turbo-petrol, but 50 per cent more than the hybrid, at 8.1L/100km and 5.0L/100km, respectively.
Styling changes include black exterior trims – including the alloy wheels, side mirrors, roof rails, side garnish and lower front/rear bumpers – and, in response to customer feedback, hard buttons for the air-conditioning controls.
All other features are consistent with the remainder of the Jolion line-up, with the range priced from $28,490 drive-away in entry-level Premium form.
The GWM Haval Jolion competes against the Mitsubishi ASX, MG ZST, Mazda CX-30, Toyota Corolla Cross, Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos and Nissan Qashqai.
VFACTS new-car sales data reveals 8217 examples were sold in Australia in 2022, representing a 6.7 per cent share in the small SUV segment.
