2022 Haval Jolion price and specs

The Haval Jolion now offers a hybrid powertrain, giving the Chinese challenger brand a rival to the likes of the Toyota C-HR.

It’ll arrive in Australia in September.

The rest of the range hasn’t received any changes this year apart from a pair of consecutive $1000 price increases in January and April, with the company citing “external cost pressures that include shipping and supply”.

The range now opens at $28,490 drive-away for the Premium, and tops out at $40,990 drive-away for the Jolion Hybrid.

UPDATE, 16/08/2022 –GWM Haval Australia has released pricing and specifications for the Jolion Hybrid. We’ve updated this article and brought it forward.

Introduced in 2021, the small Jolion crossover is a replacement for the old H2.

Though it wasn’t on sale for the entire year, the Jolion still logged 4069 sales. That put it ahead of the Skoda Kamiq (2197) and Suzuki Vitara (3742).

In the month of September alone, it outsold rivals like the Kia Seltos, Toyota C-HR and Volkswagen T-Roc.

Sharp drive-away pricing and a long feature list have helped fuel the Jolion’s growth – it bested the old H2’s entire 2020 sales tally – but GWM Haval Australia has also had far fewer supply issues than rival firms.

• 2022 Haval Jolion Premium: $28,490
• 2022 Haval Jolion Lux: $30,990
• 2022 Haval Jolion Ultra: $33,990

It’s mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
