The Haval Jolion and H6 hybrids now ship standard with an extended warranty and service plan in South Africa. All the details of the upgraded cover for the HEV variants…
Haval Motors South Africa has quietly upgraded its standard aftersales cover for the Jolion and H6 hybrids, extending both the vehicle warranty and the service-plan distance of these dual-powered models.
Previously, the Jolion HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) and H6 HEV derivatives each shipped standard with a 5-year/100 000 km vehicle warranty, but the Chinese firm’s wholly owned local subsidiary has now upgraded this arrangement to 7 years or 200 000 km. Interestingly, however, the hybrid battery warranty is unchanged at 8 years or 150 000 km.
Meanwhile, although the standard service-plan time parameter remains 5 years, the distance limit has been extended from the previous cap of 60 000 km to 75 000 km. As before, service intervals come in at 15 000 km. Big thanks to the eagle-eyed vehicle-information specialists over at duoporta.com for alerting us to these aftersales upgrades.
As a reminder, the 8-strong Jolion range includes 2 hybrid derivatives: the Jolion 1.5 HEV Luxury (R549 950) and the Jolion 1.5 HEV Super Luxury (R579 950). These variants combine a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine – which drives the front axle via a continuously variable transmission (CVT) – with an electric motor and a battery pack.
Total system outputs for the Jolion HEV – which touched down in South Africa at the start of 2023 – stand at 140 kW and 375 Nm, while the fuel-consumption figure is listed as 5.0 L/100 km. This translates to a theoretical range of 1 100 km from the 55-litre tank.
On the other hand, there’s currently just a single version of the H6 hybrid on offer in Mzansi, with the H6 1.5T HEV Ultra Luxury (R679 950) slotting in at the top of the line-up. Having launched locally in September 2022, the H6 HEV employs a turbocharged 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol mill and hybrid gubbins, resulting in maximum system figures of 179 kW and 530 Nm. Combined fuel economy is a claimed 5.2 L/100 km.
Haval Motors SA’s hybrid line-up will soon welcome another derivative thanks to the inclusion of a dual-powered variant in the new GWM Tank 300 range. From what we understand, the Tank 300 2.0T HEV 9HAT 4×4 Super Luxury will also score the latest 7-year/200 000 km warranty and 5-year/75 000 km service plan.
