- The new Haval Jolion Hybrid costs $7000 more than the equivalent petrol version. So, what's the distance you'd have to drive the hybrid to break even? Is it 3000km? Or 100,000km? 500,000km?
CarsGuide senior journalist Richard Berry answers that question in this video along with all the other important things you need to know such as what the Haval Jolion Hybrid is like to drive, how practical it is, what safety tech it has and what it costs to own.
He also fills you in on what its competitors are - and they're not just Toyota hybrid models - and gives you an idea of how the safety equipment operates, and has a deep dive on the design changes between the petrol Jolion and the new 2023 GWM Haval Jolion Hybrid Ultra model.
There's a lot to cover, and you're going to want to see the verdict...

We just bought one of these. 2000 kilometres and loving it. Value, safety, comfort, I’m 196 cm. All good. Well done Haval. On the money….
Jolion owner here, as far as the safety features go... whatever you turn on or off, it STAYS that way next time you turn the vehicle on. I have the DMS turned off the first time I drove it and it hasn't bothered me since. No going through the menus every time
Yes but Hybrid petrol saving is not the only saving, Hybrids don't consume brakes and discs as much and will last the lifetime of the vehicle (250k km plus) due to regen braking. Then with the Hybrid, the engine doesn't need to be run all the time so oil filters, fuel filters, air filters last longer. You can be absent minded and skip service intervals 2 - 3 times with Hybrids and it won't kill the car. The 12V battery lasts 8-10 years and doesn't need replacement every 2-4 years as the big Hybrid battery does most of the heavy lifting. So you can see petrol is just 1 equation in dollars saved. So if you are planning to keep the car for 10 years, these savings can be monumental.
Richard, your reviews absolutely make my day every time! Bloody legend. I’d honestly watch you review paint drying for ten hours 🎉
36k for this beautiful large car with a premium interior is not overpriced. Fuel consumption is better than most of the hybrid cars in the market. Toyota rav4 hybrid xse fwd 53k gets you fake leather seats and outdated infotainment system.
We have a fleet of hybrid Toyota’s including RAV4 in fleet spec white and whilst I was impressed with transitions I don’t see many green benefits as I have a leaden right foot - oh and the world needs more Mr Berry’s he’s fabulous great review Richard 👌👍🎯
Only reviewer who said the engine was noisy… interesting
I like watching the reviews of certain cars from this guy and the bonus is the way he reviews them 😂😂😂 he makes me laugh every time
He tries way too hard
The Haval Jolion Hybrid in Lux spec is excellent value for money at thirty six thousand on road with slightly better fuel economy and performance than the top spec version with no moonroof present on the Lux spec model. An absolute bargain for this type of vehicle with it only getting better in succeeding models I would imagine.
Obviously it's not without it's faults such as the intrusive safety features and the gear selector dial. But overall it ticks all the boxes with great performance and economy and enough points to get it over the line for an easy win at the price point.
If I was looking for a new vehicle to purchase it would be at the top of the list.
😎👍
We got a top spec of the petrol version a few months ago as a 2nd car and it is a great daily driver with all the tech and safety kit you could want.
My biggest complaints are it is a little jerky at low-speed driving like around a carpark (I put it down to the duel clutch) and the boot is vary small (compared to our RAV4) so once we put the pram in, there is basically no room for anything else.
There are also a few little nitpick issues I have like how fiddly it is to adjust things in the touchscreen like the climate control functions ect... but overall I would absolutely recommend it.
@@wcrash9361 I am just giving my personal opinion after a few months of ownership.
Our other car is a RAV4 (they are roughly the same length overall) but it has a MUCH bigger boot. That being said I can see where the space went as the rear seats have tons more room. This honestly is probably great if you have teenagers or adults that need to use those seats but personally, we have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old so I would prefer more boot space.
As for climate control etc... yes I know that you can swipe or click in the top left etc... but to do that you have to take your eyes off the road and it is just never going to be as easy as an old-school knob. In the RAV4 I can turn on the AC, set the temp and fan speed etc... without ever taking my eyes off the road, you just can't do that when everything is integrated into a touchscreen.
It's a minor gripe though since the car is almost half the price.
Can you turn the indicator volume down?
@@MrJamonDavid I haven't tried because it really doesn't annoy me but you can change the volume of multiple different alert chimes so it would not surprise me if you could.
@@ryant2568 can you turn off or cover the face camera?
@@Rummie Yes, the facial recognition camera can be turned off in the menu.
I had one as a loan car while my car was getting a tow bar fitted, better than the last Haval loan car I had 2 years ago.
I drove about 50 kilometres country driving so always with the petrol engine running ( even on start up)
It was Ok but not as good as the 3 year old RAV4(non hybrid) I drive for work.
I was appreciative to have a loan car but happy to return it.
My husband just bought the ultra picked it up today.
Here in NZ - Jolion Ultra non-hybrid is now only about $2000 cheaper than the entry hybrid.... so makes sense to by the hybrid now.
There is a Lux Hybrid now. Way quicker to recoup the extra you pay for it.
After the cars driven in you get the better L per Km. The forums reckon around 4.5-5.1
This guy is so funny, in general this car is good, hopefully the Jolion PHEV will launch to Australia very soon, I like this guy.
I think Australian reviewers should just review the Toyota Rav 4. its perfect in their eyes.
Verdict: It’s a great car, good looking, with all the safety features and almost everything but because there is no Toyota sign in front and back so it needs to go away from Australia’s market 😂.
This guy's a legend 😍 as for the Jolion and HAVAL cars in general, I want them to stand the test of time before I even start considering buying one.
Company has been around for 14 years , haval has been around since 2015. Already at a higher standard the Kia Toyota and Hyundai at the same stage in their history
Mate, over 8 million Haval made and sold alone so far. GWM has been around 42 years and produced some 20 million cars, Utes, trucks. There is your stand of time
They do stand the test of time as they sell most of their cars in China
I drove this car 3 days n i like this car in hybrid its a good ride i want to get one of these 4 sure another colour for my choice!
Over price ?
What a ridiculous commons....
Please tell me which one you can get in this budget with quality....
The only car reviewer I will watch, since he is exactly my height and i need to know if I will at least fit lmao
What average Australian only does 10000km per year?
Not the average Australian but the average kilometers. I did 75,000 km. So they are averaging the kind of kilometers I do and the weekend drivers.
Pay more to save money: it's a strategy played by big brands for years. However I think hybrid cars are not worth the money, should just step up to phev at least.
What's the black fingernail varnish ???
Anyone know which colour this is?
Glacier blue
Yeah nah. 1st and only review from you I will ever view..
Since when is premium entry level 🤔... Makes sense in an upside down world though.
I saw it works out to 7.5L/100km but my unleaded outlander did that :/
Know 2 people with these and they average 5.2-5.5L/100kms
why don't KIA bring their good hybrid to our market? i was so shocked the number of hybrid cars while I was there last year!!!
I have still doubt that Jolion HEV variant has turbocharged engine like petrol version. But as per my observation it is powered by Naturally aspirated engine connected to dedicated hybrid dual motor trasmission. Pls help to get correct information. Thanks
It's 1.5T engine for both jolion and h6 hybrid.
OH, noisy indicators are a deal breaker. Maybe you get used to it idk.
You can adjust the loudness of the indicators and many things else
@@chriswording8638 how do adjust that? Couldn't see any option
I love the loud indicators as I then remember to turn them off, can't hear them in my older mazda 3 and drive miles with them on!
@@chriswording8638no you can’t adjust indicator volume
for a second i thought youre Nicholas Cage
Makes no sense , he says wheel had no reach yet when he put his wrists on wheel he was 4” pst the wheel which means he was too close to the wheel so wouldn’t need more reach
The car is nice. Great design. But the price is a bit high. Its almost same as base model of Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid. I think there are unnecessary features like sun roof that push the price up. Also the first thing I noticed when I set in this car is that the start button was not easy to see which was hiding behind the steering wheel. Inside the car looks nice and comfortable.
You can get the jolion hybrid lux version which is only $36990
Also u can only get the base model Rav 4 hybrid at this price that is 3 years old with 1200000kms in Oz. The cheapest base model rav4 hybrid is $47000 so haval is a lot cheaper
His opinion on the steeering wheel is ridiculous , have never heard anyone complain , yes it could be a thicker section where your hands go but it’s pretty standard there are no hard edges and if he has long arms he shouldn’t need to bring the wheel closer. What’s strange is he reviewed the petrol jolion which he loved it and his opinion was totally different which seems disingenuous
Have heard reviews from many owners of this vehicle and most are getting 5.5L/100kms
More you drive CBD less consumption. More high ways more consumption, cause you don't use recuperation as much
Has no one picked up the indicators on the front are shaped like arrows but yet indicate the OPPOSITE direction that they should when you engage them?? A fair design fail there...
omg ！ over priced？ are u serious？
overpriced must be a joke!
Bet the cost for parts will be more than what the car is worth
False , at least check the facts first
Why I haven't seen Asian(Chinese) person in Chinese car? They like merc and bmw and other expensive cars but not own brands. Weird.
So I guess more more money flowing in to PLA and their great great leader.
Updated today
I saw first person of asian appearance in Chinese brand car. Thanks God as I was getting really suspicious.
That is a very good point. It is true not only here but also back in China. The reasons….I could write an essay on it…
simply because chinese brands in overseas markets are much expensive than domestic, but "luxurious cars" are much cheaper than they're in China, the more luxurious ones the lesser expensive. check the price of toyota Alpha in China u will be shocked.
I bought mg zs 1.0t about 2 years ago , regreted not buying it earlier
@@ObservableUniverse888 I drove that one and do not recommend. I had little scary incident on highway when I've put my foot down to overtake and car didn't react for 2 - 3 seconds . City driving ok.
my kid droved to caberra fr sydney few day ago............no complain
