2024 GWM Haval Jolion facelift revealed in official documents

The 2024 GWM Haval Jolion small SUV appears in line to receive a facelift soon.

Official documents submitted by China’s GWM to the Federal Government’s new-vehicle approval database list two new Haval Jolion variants, known as the ‘A01 FL [facelift]’ with a different look to the current model.

The facelifted Haval Jolion is expected to be followed by another small SUV in GWM-Haval’s local line-up, the heavily-related Jolion Pro – also known as the ‘Chitu’ in its Chinese domestic market.

Similar to its MG ZS and ZST rivals, the Jolion Pro should replace current flagship versions of the Jolion, while the existing car will continue with a facelift for lower-cost variants.

The government approval documents list two variants of the facelifted Jolion, both featuring 17-inch alloy wheels and a 110kW/220Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder, matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

Styling changes for the facelifted Jolion include a new-look grille, revised front and rear bumpers, redesigned alloy wheels, grey side mirror caps, revised tail-light internals, and a ‘G-W-M’ tailgate badge in place of the existing ‘H-A-V-A-L’ logo.

It is unclear if GWM has updated the Haval Jolion’s interior for the facelift.

The facelifted 2024 GWM Haval Jolion will likely continue to be offered in Premium, Lux and Ultra variants in Australia, while the Jolion Pro could replace current S, Lux Hybrid and Ultra Hybrid models.

Like the current Jolion S and Hybrid, the Pro features multi-link independent rear suspension instead of the torsion-beam fitted to standard models.

Measuring 4470mm long, 1898mm wide and 1625mm tall, with a 2700mm wheelbase, the Jolion Pro is 2mm shorter, 57mm wider and 51mm taller than the Jolion, with an unchanged wheelbase.

In China, the Haval Jolion – which means ‘first love’ in Mandarin – replaced the Haval H2, while the Chitu/Jolion Pro is the successor to the Haval F5. Both models are based on GWM’s ‘LEMON’ platform.

Only the Chitu is still available in China as the Jolion became an export-focused model in 2021.

The facelifted 2024 GWM Haval Jolion and the related 2024 GWM Haval Jolion Pro are expected to arrive in Australia soon. Stay tuned to Wheels for the latest information.
