I'm here for the Haval Jolion S

I like to call the Haval Jolion a game changer, because it has been a game changer for Chinese car brands here in South Africa. It set the scene. Upped the ante. Was a cat among the pigeons. I could keep going, but I think you catch my drift. This is the Jolion S derivative and I bring you everything you need to know about it because I truly feel that if the Jolion is not on your car-buying list, then you're missing out. Next week I chat about the Hybrid model. I am all about Haval at the moment.

I would've had a Haval before for the features alone! Massive value for money, but they still need to work on the power-train. I had a 1.6 DCi Kadjar 4x4 which didn't have half the features of the Haval, but the Diesel engine had a punchy 320nm from 1700rpm topping at 96Kw, and I averaged a 5.6 l/100km over the 90 000 reliable kilometers I owned it for. Once they refine their already reliable engines, and bring performance and consumption figures up to more competitive standards I wouldn't think twice about buying it! Great review and wonderful lighting and production!

Couldn’t agree more with your comments. Having bought the Jolion on launch lured by its features and value, the drivetrain has been underwhelming. Fuel consumption is through the roof and the gearbox is frustrating. Perhaps this S is more inspiring other than that I don’t think I’d purchase another Chinese car in a very long time

Don't mind the content and the different format is fine. As others have have noted, if it's a paid promotion, just mark it as such. KZfaq provides that option. Will still watch. Also, the background music was a bit loud.

I've had it for the past 6 weeks. A beaut of a vehicle. Few issues with software captions not written by fluent English speaking people, but hopefully that can be fixed with an update. Turbo lag is significant, especially in eco mode, but the trade off is 11L/100kms so you just have to make a choice. Overall, super happy with product

Just another comment that confirms that I’d rather drive a used European or Japanese car for the same money that can get less than 8ltrs/100km and spares are abundant.

So honest info please, I read that the problem with Haval jolions are reliability for a start, alot of gearboxes and engine issues early on, but the real problem is accountability from Haval SA, which means if you do run into problems you are on your own so to speak. Any haval owners that have dealt with haval sa? How is the trade in value?

I don’t think long term ownership is possible yet.. which is part of the problem with the throwaway system these cars seem to have. Owner maintenance on this is probably a nightmare.

It a nice car to be sure. The deal breaker for us though was that sunroof. In the extreme of summer, you feel like you can't get away from the heat/sun. I don't know if they offer a solid sunroof that doesn't let the sun through for the top model. Great that they brought out a model with a turbo though. I felt like both the Haval Jolion and the Toyota Corolla Cross had underwhelming engines, and that a turbo was needed.

@julietmcguire Жыл бұрын

I truly hate sunroof! I didn't notice the issue you mention, but in general, I am with you.

Interesting. I think perhaps their shade is too thin then. We have a 2013 Peugeot 3008 2 litre diesel with a full glass roof but the shade is thick. So when it's closed you don't really feel like you can't get away from the heat. In fact, driving through the karoo in the summer with the AC on and towing a caravan, my mom and sister sitting at the back were getting cold. So it depends on the manufacturer and the thickness of the shade.

I'm sold on Haval. When they brought out hybrids I knew they're going for blood. Consider doing away with the background music while you're speaking. Makes your review feel like it's sponsored by Haval. Especially when you don't have your usual mini-'road rage' vibes.
