HAVAL Jolion is giving MG ZST a run for its money in 2022 in Australia. While currently MG has a larger market share than Haval, I can easily see how this emerging car brand from Great Wall Motors could seize the market segment of small to medium SUV buyers who want to see real value for their money.
In this video I'll honestly compare our MG ZST 2021 with Haval Jolion 2022 top of the range Ultra model, looking at every element of the car that an average private car buyer would consider in Australia on 2022.

🚩🚩 FULL DISCLOSURE - WHY AMAZON LINKS (and not direct links to SOME brand sites?) 🚩🚩
Put simply, because those brands have good products -- which is why I'm still promoting those here -- BUT they don't have a web sales portal of their own, or fail to pay me commission, or I'm simply not certain that their promised discount code applies properly and you are getting the discount I've promised you in the video... So it is my duty to at least redirect you to a trustworthy sales site, such as Amazon. I apologise if this causes any inconvenience, and I hope that it does not! 😉👌

Love the review. as a jolion owner… In the jolion, There is a mute button on the row of capacitive touch buttons under the screen. The on/off button in that row of buttons is used as the mute button… However yes it should be on the steering wheel but it ain’t for some reason 🤷🏻
Thanks a lot for clarifying, Craig! I couldn't believe they didn't add it to the steering wheel, but ah well, there's lots to love there anyway!
In the new hybrid the "hidden" mute button is still the radio/infotainment power button, right most of the row of captive buttons. Quick click mutes and a longer press puts the infotainment system into sleep mode
Hi Dimitry, thank you for this video comparing the ZST and Jolion. That is right where I am now, trying to decide which one to buy. So I really appreciate your comments with which, I entirely agree. A couple of other key things over which Haval has the edge. Firstly, the Jolion is fitted with manual paddle gear shifters on the steering wheel whereas the ZST is not so fitted. And secondly, the Jolion rear seat divider folds down between the rear seats. As you know, this feature is lacking in the ZST and you made adverse remarks about that in an earlier video. A big negative for you at that time, hence a big plus for the Jolion now. A further comment I would make is that, although in both cars the rear seats fold down, those in the Jolion appear to definitely fold flatter than in the ZST. Finally, on the ZST, I did not particularly like the cruise controls being on a separate stalk (meaning three) on the steering wheel column whereas, on the Jolion, all cruise controls are embedded in the steering wheel itself. I should also mention that on both vehicles the sunroof is fitted with the soft, light-penetrating, fabric material which reminds me of shade cloth. I don't like it and had the Jolion been fitted with the more traditional roof covering for the sun roof, that would have clinched the deal for me. Thanks once again, I enjoy watching all your videos and I hope fellow viewers find my comments useful in addition to yours. Cheers.
Hello Richard, thank you for summarising the points I've definitely glazed over a bit in this video - there was a lot to cover already... I agree with your additions, even though I've not tested many of those thoroughly enough myself. If I had to express a personal opinion, and IF I was buying the car right now (rather than considering to sell ZST then buy Jolion - which I probably am not convinced enough to put myself through...), so if I was choosing a brand new car again, I'd probably get a Jolion. As while ZST is very lovely, it feels "outdated" compared to Jolion 2022. And we haven't even mentioned the Heads-Up Display that Jolion Ultra has compared to ZST... It's very cool too! ;)
Great personal review! Will be looking at both top spec models✅
Great to hear it helped you mate!
love it. hope u can update more video.
Thank you!
Great review, so very helpful Dimitri 😎
Glad to hear you liked it
We took both for a test drive but went with the 2023 jolin..
I believe the jolion is way way more for your dollar. Absolutely divine to drive in..
That's my opinion
It all depends on what you compare (both of these cars) to. They both drive pretty well, and compare on value rather closely. I'd personally go with GWM but stretch to H6, bypassing Jolion as it is a bit of an outdated model in GWM lineup in 2023.
Great video as always!
Thank you for your support my friend!
@@ValueCarsAU No Worries.
Soon Chery Cars are coming back here in Australia. Looking forward to test drive and compare with Haval and MG.
Interesting. I know nothing about the brand but think competition is a healthy thing!
Fabulous insight as ZST is just a face lifted update of ZS. Haval has really updated their cars which make great alternatives within this price band - subjectivity the key as I think I like the narrowness of ZST for city use and if needed extra room I’d go for the HS as I think I prefer their styling plus if extra power needed then their is the HS AWD with the 2 litre turbo - great content as always 👍👍👍
Thanks mate, yeah I don't think MG went far/brave enough when updating from ZS to ZST, while Haval probably did more - the car definitely feels very modern
No , the mg zst has a pilot system over ZS, it fills the gaps where the ZS is a lower budget suv.
Great Review.
Thank you!
Another great down to earth review, well done.
I driven both the MG and Jolion and preferred the Jolion overall, the downside is MG requires 95 petrol which is going to cost more every time you visit the pump. I was sitting on the fence until the demonstrator models of the Jolion Hybrid arrived in NZ at the end of May, it is a totally different drive, much smoother and not having a dct gets away from that jerky turbo lag takeoff, I was so impressed I placed my order and put down a deposit on the spot, now just patiently waiting for delivery. Seriously if you get the opportunity take a Jolion Hybrid for a test drive.
So, Jolion has a DCT after all? I didn't notice during my (relatively short) test drive. In my MG HS I felt the weirdness of how DCT worked straight away. Yep 95 petrol should be more expensive, but with the recent petrol price craziness in Australia, 91 sometimes costs very close to 95, hardly a massive saving, and Diesel that was always cheaper is now more expensive... Go figure what the hell is going on.... 🤷♂️
It was a crystal clear comparison bro, I really appreciate it.. even I was so confused about choosing between these two. But now that I’m convinced. I’m going forward to buy the Jolion Middle East version top range. Thanks again buddy!!! Keep up the good work!!!!! Cheers
Glad to hear it helped you make your choice my friend, I hope you love your new Jolion! 😎👌
Great practical review. I had been wondering what the Haval Jolion was like - now I know. The Haval steering wheel, regardless of the lack of a mute button, looks so old fashioned. They need to ditch it and get a new one..
Thanks Phil, yes Jolion is surprisingly appealing actually - now that I myself had time to process my first impressions too! - but the steering wheel and cup holders are borderline embarrassing!
The small cup holder still holds a standard and even a large disposable coffee cup very well.
I didn't go buy a large coffee to test, but still frankly doubt that a large coffee cup (we have here in AU at least) would fit into the left cup holder.
Push the power button on the touch sensitive buttons on the dash to turn off the sound and hold for power off
Unintuitive. Thanks though!
Hello again Dimitry. Firstly, a big shout out of 'Thank you'' for your channel and the amazing reviews that you have provided. I find them to be down to earth, informative, and honest. I especially enjoyed your comparative review of the MG ZST and Haval Jolion as you really were comparing apples with apples. After a really punishing comparison of both cars, I finally settled on the Haval Jolion Ultra. I did the deal yesterday morning and will pick the car up next week. Why the Jolion? A couple of reasons really. Firstly, I think the Jolion provided slightly more of a 'bigger bang for the bucks' and secondly, as you alluded to, I felt that, as a new car, the Jolion felt like 'Next year's model" whereas by comparison, the MG seemed like 'Last year's car'. Many thanks again. I'm looking so much to driving this new car. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic news, Richard, and very happy if I could help your choice somewhat. Jolion looks like an awesome car, and in all honesty I'm hoping to privately sell our 1 year old ZST (before heavy depreciation hits) and perhaps get a Jolion for my wife too!
Great practical review - the Haval Jolion is considered a compact SUV hence the "like a car" feel, H6 is their medium SUV offering. Agree on the steering wheel and getting a steering wheel cover does go a long way in solving it, great value for money but not perfect - from a driver.
Great to hear you agree mate, especially as an owner of one of these!
having had a look into this vehicle as im tossing up between , zst,jolion, omoda 5 when releases and mazda i had a look at the steering wheel now i may be wrong but on the left hand side of steering wheel there is a set of buttons one to go to previous song if using say spotify and one to go forward and in between there is a button that says which i believe would act as a mute or play/pause button
If you can wait for Omoda 5 release, I'd say - wait - at least so that you can make a fully educated decision then.
@@ValueCarsAU that's what I fully plan on doing as they look like amazing cars and if they fall within the price range of these vehicles like they or looking likely to it could be a very big competition as long as the interface and the displays work great because they interior design the way it is reminds me of cars with the likes of Mercedes and BMW etc that are double, triple and even in some cases 5 times the price
What did you buy finally?
@@melbourne-merupulu Mazda CX-30
I've been watching your videos for a while on the mg zst mostly because I'm so undecided on which car. The haval jolion looks good but the steering wheel not having reach will probably be a deal breaker for me as I have a bad shoulder, and those cup holders are weird. Such a shame if thise two things wete address the haval would be a winner for me.
So again looking at mg zst excite
Take a look at Omoda 5, but I honestly think that the build quality is better on GWM out of all three, in all honesty. Then there's something like Toyota Corolla Cross in the same-ish ballpark of money and Honda HRV (that I'll review very soon - spoiler: don't buy!). Regarding the reach and your shoulder - take the car for a test drive and see. Reality is often different from specifications or reviews and it _might_ just be ok for you.
Hello I have a question for the haval jolion there is a P button for the brake, do I need to use it when I park the car? I really don’t know how it works since it’s my first car and I have driven cars with the brake handle not that button can u please explain
Hello and good morning to you. All of this should be explained by your sales consultant when you test drive the car and I hope you DO go for a test drive by the way.... You mean P on the rotary gear shifter? You press it when ready to park as a shortcut from D to P basically. I've forgotten to press mine in the past and the car did parking automatically for me when the engine went off. The BREAK itself is separate from the P button - at least in my H6 - it's a little "switch-button" you pull with your finger when parking.
@@ValueCarsAU great now it’s clear I didn’t mean the P that u press to Park, I meant the one that was on the switch.
You have Haval h6 as well, what is the difference between jolion and Haval h6 and also comparing h6 awd vs hev fwd
I don't understand the question - you don't know what the difference between H6 and Jolion is? Maybe visit your local dealership and take a look?
I requested a test drive for jolion but I don’t know, I liked the interior but Idk I felt uncomfortable, unlike the zst I liked it immediately
Fair enough mate, good on you for at least trying both cars to make sure you make an educated decision, unlike some people do... Sure, some cars just "fit us better", my wife for example also prefers ZST over a Jolion we tried.
謝謝分享 這是我看過最吸引的車評 引發車友評論及大家公正分析這車型 我亦很想有機會跟你們去享受一下Jolion 的樂趣 我己點讃每位分享綱友
謝謝 :)
This or MG HS?
Depends on what you need - slightly bigger size, or more cost efficient and agile vehicle to ride around in the city?
Coke in can for the other cup holder 😅
Missing the joke somewhere here, but I get that we all find different things amusing
Drove both. No reach on the Jolion steering I found really annoying and less comfortable. Bought ZST, nice unit.
ZST is pretty good, we still enjoy ours
Actually the Mitsubishi ASX is within a reasonable ballpark.
I just found the ASX design and what you get within the same price range really outdated, plastic and boring. Higher range fancied up models used to be substantially more expensive. But that was maybe 2 years ago, as I haven't checked recently...
For long term durability like 10 to 15 years
Which will be more reliable?
Haval Jolion 1.5 Turbo vs MG ZST 1.3 Turbo vs Toyota CHR HYBRID?
Plz help me
And answer me.
It will be very helpful for me.
Again mate - I'm not an expert and not a mechanic. 10+ years anyone would automatically tell you Toyota. And I wouldn't even go Hybrid, because that's electrical complex technology - how are you going to maintain and support it in a country where new Toyotas aren't even sold? 🤷♂️ For long term 10+ years dealing with used cars always look at the network of support and what car parts are available, etc. Toyota would win long term in most places without a doubt.
We inspected both the cars for some how me and my wife didn't like the interior of Jolion, I don't know why but it was a cheap plasticy feeling in joilion and ZST will give you a premium interior feeling and it's obvious that ZST is having a 1.3l T so it's fuel consumption is much much better than Jolion and I tell you that all these gimmcky tech in all the cars, people usuallly don't use it and prefer to drive the simple car although in Joilion there is a detection camera or sensor on the front which will observe you all the time and it's quite annoying. ZST is simple but powerful and quite fuel economical.
Yeah ZST is good value for money, I don't disagree. Long term (remains to be seen) but so far starting to own a GWM vehicle and looking closer at them, they generally look like more solid/sturdy/better built than SAIC vehicles.
You make me laugh…you do not sugar coat things
Glad I did - we all need some positivity in our lives!
