Chinese cars are rocketing up the Australian sales charts and it's not difficult to see why, with plenty of features, the latest tech and wallet-friendly price tags.
However, competition is increasing and they're about to start fighting amongst themselves for buyer attention, so we've gathered together the Haval Jolion S and Chery Omoda 5 EX to see if one stands taller than the other.
Both offer a lot of car for way less than $40,000 on the road, but which is the pick for the budget-conscious buyer?

Not sure I agree. These are decent, feature packed cars and the opposition is stressing a bit. We will do ourselves a disservice if we don't at least go test-drive them for ourselves.
Chinese manufacturers have always supplied German car manufacturers.
The parts in the Haval Jolion HEV are Bocsh. I guess the tables have turned.
Time for people to wake up and smell the Chow Mein.
This car is the Bruce Lee of the motor industry. Strength, Panache and efficiency.
Great cars with great prices. I own a Haval Jolion hybrid. Love it. For those people who don't like them by political reasons. Shame on you.
I doubut should some people real hate a car because of politics？for god's sake just a car,
I’m with you there. If anything F@$%$#k them.
Not liking a car brand or origin for political reasons can be perfectly fine. The fact that some Chinese brands are built with convict labour or that their pricing is supported by the government or they make use of stolen technologies etc are an entirely valid basis for decision against them. Different people will have different priorities for decision.
*Jolion got heated seats as well. And yes you can manually rotate the 360 camera in Jolion. Pretty happy with my Jolion. With that kind of money you can’t wish for anything else tbh
Yes, you are correct about both. Feann says the Haval has heated seats, in a weird olde worlde way: "As in its rival, the Omoda has heated seats." He also mentions the Haval has a 3D mode with the reversing camera but he reckons it wouldn't rotate in the test car. Could've been a glitch. These cars do have a few 'quirks'.
Wish these Chinese automakers would come here to America…..the Japanese, Korean, European and American brands are getting ridiculous with their prices these days!
An excellent review and greatly appreciated. We are tossing up btn a 5 year old Hyundai >100,000km or 2024 Haval. I am personally heading towards a 5- 7 year warranty with the Haval. Friends love them and the depreciation over 5 years is circa $12K compared to $25k - $40K for a competitor. FYI we already own a Hyundai Sante Fe 2017 and still love it and will hold on to it.
In the early 70s my dad and his mates said Japanese cars would never catch on. In the 80s myself and my mates said Korean cars would never catch on. Australians are brand loyalists up until it effects our hip pockets.
Fantastic review! I was thinking of getting something to replace my parents' dreadful 2006 Honda Odyssey. Given the price and the amenities, the Chery seems to be the right fit for them, I reckon. Thanks for the heads up regarding turning off the "driver assistance" garbage.
Carsauce review of these cars are objective and professional. This bloke starts off with the gratuitous cheap and nasty bs and concludes they are like Korean cars 20 years ago. Meanwhile Hyundai and Kia are losing market share. What a coincidence.
We just watched the carsauce reviews and they are rather amusing. The singing and joking around is entertaining but your idea of professional may be different to ours. Also, you're referring to two separate reviews of two cars tested in isolation, not a comparison like this one. Sure, the Sauce bros do a great job appealing to a younger audience who want to be entertained with lots of wild hand gestures, but we're here as consumer advocates and our journalists give you the truth. And for the record we crap on all sorts of cars, not just cheap ones.
If you watch the full video you'll see that the car reviewer actually praises many elements for their high quality feel.
Anyways, the Carsauce guys are clever in their approach, often having a dig are established names in order to be a bit controversial, and that's fine if they want to do that. It's a clever way to get lots of views. Most of our team have been testing cars for more than a decade. Feann, who hosts this vid for example, has been test driving cars since 2001.
The hybrid version of haval is the way to go, much much better than gas version
If you're 188cm and over in height, I wish you luck with the Omoda. So cramped. Pity, it's a lovely car.
Good cars just remembered to divide the cost by the years of warranty so as to end up with zero at the end.

As a fellow aussie; LMAO...WE WISH, WE WISH that was the worst on average of our tradies. Perfect is the enemy of done.
Comparing these to Korean cars 20 years ago was a good way explaining them, except should have said 5 or so years ago. In 10 years these cars will take over the Korean brands if they advance that fast.
You missed a comedy opportunity by not discussing the resale value of these things.
Kids these days can't do a parallel parking without all these cameras!
Yo he comprado el haval jolion
So they are both terrible
First btw
I can't believe these are allowed to be sold......so unsafe, unfinished, unrefined and woeful in every way.....as they say, you can't polish turds but you can roll them in glitter.
*Shakes fist at sky*
Neither , they are still underdone in some areas & I just don't trust China with any vehicle. Possible security issues when you are connected to the vehicles infotainment as well.
im sure they have better things to do than to mess with your car
@Cptmarko don't bet on that one. It's been proven both here, in the UK, China etc that they have nothing better to do than to mine your data when you are connected with a phone .
Oh please!!
Because your private conversations are so valuable to them 😂
All very well and a tempting value proposition. What's mostly been ignored for years though in new car reviews, is longevity. And now with these Chinese cars it's an even greater mystery. Scan the used car ads for lowish km cars with busted CVT transmissions and cracked heads and/or failed engines - you'll find tonnes of them.. the least of them from Japanese production - Toyota, Mazda and Honda. Sure, you get a warranty with these cars. But will you even get properly looked after during the warranty period? I know many people who have not. We're talking 6 months with their 'new' car off the road. One company I know has a total of 10 Chinese built cars from 1 particular brand - at any given time, at least one of them is in the shop! They have never been in service together at any one time since new!! These vehicles are going to have to remain cheap and propped up by ever-lengthening warranties and improving customer care. I'll love to be proven wrong, but I am tipping a lot of heartache for many of these owners.
The Chery Omoda 5 is a horrid car.
This guy ahould just stop reviewing Chinese made cars, his bias and condescending narrative is nauseating.
Nah cheap and safe public transportation🚌🚎🚋 are enough for everyone
It's. But living in a conservative rural area and public transportation is left to rot. I'm talking about you Toowoomba.
