Haval prices Jolion from $27,990 driveaway

BY CALLUM HUNTER | 12th Apr 2021

LESS than a fortnight after its reveal, Haval Australia has detailed the Launch Editions of its new Jolion SUV with the compact family hauler checking in from $27,990 driveaway for the “mid-range” Lux LE.

Above the Lux is the Ultra LE, priced from $30,990 driveaway, however no dedicated entry-level variant has been detailed yet – we expect it to land with the regular range sometime in the near future.

Limited initially to just 300 examples, the Jolion is Haval’s replacement for the H2 and sits directly beneath the new-generation H6 mid-sizer.

Standard equipment on the Lux LE includes 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, LED head-, daytime running and foglamps, a 10.25-inch colour multimedia touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, a leather steering wheel, Comfort Tek seats, six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat

heated front seats, a 7.0-inch digital instrument display, dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming rearview mirror and a surround-view monitor.

Safety kit meanwhile extends to autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, lane change assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and a camera-based driver fatigue monitoring system.

The Lux LE ups the ante with bigger 18-inch alloys, a panoramic sunroof, bigger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless charging and a head-up display.

Distinguishing the LE’s from the looming standard range are their chrome, horizontally lined grilles as opposed to the regular version’s satin grille trim.

As previously reported by GoAuto, the Jolion rides on a 2700mm wheelbase and is powered by the same 110kW/210Nm turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine as the H2.

Power is sent exclusively to the front wheels via a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Compared to the vehicle it replaces, the Jolion is 107mm longer (4472mm), 27mm wider (1841mm) and 91mm shorter in height (1619mm) while the aforementioned wheelbase is 140mm longer.

With the Jolion LEs only just entering showrooms, Haval Australia has sold 1023 H2s so far this year ending March, accounting for 3.2 per cent of the sub-$40,000 compact SUV segment.
