Chinese brand, Haval, has been on a roll with its Haval Jolion and H6 selling up a storm locally and the SUV brand is now addressing fuel consumption concerns with the introduction of the Jolion HEV hybrid model. Watch his video review!
Haval continues its onslaught on the new car market in South Africa with this, the Haval Jolion HEV! Is it worth the extra spend? Watch our video review for insight!
Join our video journalist, Ciro De Siena, as he takes us on a thorough tour of the brand new Jolion Hybrid. The Jolion is now one of the most popular passenger cars on our roads and it’s a best-seller for Haval.
Haval is hoping that rising fuel prices might drive more motorists to consider new energy alternatives, such as this Jolion HEV Hybrid.
What powertrain does the Jolion HEV have?
The Jolion Hybrid utilises the familiar 1.5-litre turbopetrol engine that’s used in the rest of the Jolion range but in this case is paired with an electric motor to generate 140 kW and 375 Nm of torque with a claimed fuel consumption figure of 5.1 L/100km.
But at a significant price premium, is it worth the extra spend? And how does it compare to its key rival, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, which is quite a lot cheaper?
