The 2024 GWM Haval Jolion line-up has been announced for Australia with a new-look version of the Jolion Hybrid.
As detailed here, the Haval Jolion Pro – sold in China as the Chitu, meaning ‘red rabbit’ – has replaced hybrid versions of the Jolion in Australia, and petrol examples have received a minor facelift.
However, while the vehicle will wear ‘Jolion Pro’ rear badging, GWM Australia has elected to market it as the Jolion Hybrid – despite its unique look compared to standard petrol models.

“For simplicity of communication and to continue reinforcement of the Jolion nomenclature, this model will be marketed and sold as GWM Jolion Hybrid in [Australia and New Zealand],” said GWM Australia.
Measuring 4470mm long, 1898mm wide and 1625mm tall, with a 2700mm wheelbase, the new Jolion Hybrid is 2mm shorter, 57mm wider and 51mm taller than petrol Jolion models, with an unchanged 2700mm wheelbase.
The more-raked roofline of the Jolion Hybrid has impacted boot space, with the latest model having a 255-litre capacity – compared to 390L for the previous hybrid and 337L for petrol models.

While the Chinese-market Chitu has a unique dashboard, the right-hand drive Jolion Hybrid/Jolion Pro has an identical look to the standard Jolion inside.
The Jolion Hybrid will continue to be available in Lux and Ultra form, while a more affordable Premium Hybrid has been added to the line-up for $32,990 drive-away.
Drive-away prices have been cut between $1000 and $2000 for existing variants, making the entry-level Jolion Premium cheaper than it was at launch in 2021.

GWM has discontinued the Ultra and S petrol variants, while the Jolion’s colour palette has also been condensed.
Styling changes for facelifted Jolion petrol models include a new grille, revised front and rear bumpers, grey side mirror caps and revised tail-light internals.
The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol now outputs 105kW – down 5kW – and 210Nm, with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and combined fuel consumption rated at 8.1L/100km.

Other improvements across the GWM Haval Jolion line-up include the addition of a four-way steering wheel column with telescopic adjustment – in addition to tilt – and a ‘GWM’ tailgate badge in place of the existing ‘HAVAL’ logo.
“It is expected that we will see more models across the wider range adopt more prominent GWM badging in the future,” said the brand.
The 2024 GWM Haval Jolion and 2024 GWM Haval Jolion Hybrid are on sale now.
