THE HAVAL JOLION PRO 

If cars are reinventing how South Africa drives, then the all-new HAVAL Jolion PRO is about to revolutionise how you see your motoring future. The first new HAVAL model to launch under the carmaker’s new One GWM philosophy, the New Jolion PRO takes all the solid, dependable and high value traits that its vehicles are famous for and blends them into a stylish sporty new era.

“Our New Jolion brings all the typical HAVAL premium cabin finishes, connectivity and safety technologies, but it sets itself apart in a sporty new look” GWM South Africa Chief Operations Officer Conrad Groenewald explains. “New Jolion brings two options to market. The updated version of the current platform under the “City” branding and an all-new product under the “Pro” series. We aim to appeal to more customers in the growing small SUV segment”.

“The New Jolion PRO’s biggest plus is however that it will make you believe that it exists far higher up the price ladder than where it actually sells. But in truth, while it costs far less than its looks may suggest, the New Jolion PRO delivers a thrilling new full-specification package in a versatile, high-quality, high-value new range.”

New Jolion PRO looks may deceive. Its pedigree won’t.

At first glance, you’d likely believe that the New HAVAL Jolion PRO is a smart new German coupé SUV. You would be wrong on its origins of course, but the New Jolion PRO certainly is a smart new coupé SUV. 

Now available in a versatile five-model range, the New HAVAL Jolion PRO comes in a trio of 1.5L turbocharged  options in the base model Premium, stepping up to the Super Luxury, and the Ultra Luxury. There is also a more powerful 1.5T S Ultra Luxury, while the range is topped by the self-charging petrol-electric Ultra Luxury model.

A most contemporary hexagonal grille with fourteen chrome tipped vertical bar and a proud, yet discreet HAVAL badge announces the New HAVAL Jolion PRO in grand style. It sits between a pair of smart multi-angle height-adjustable follow-me-home daytime running headlamps, with LED illumination in the Luxury models.

That’s accentuated by a purposeful and finely detailed lower grille and a vent on each side, all nestling under the clamshell bonnet. Handsome side treatment features gentle hollows neatly offset by crisp crease lines and a slick coupé-like glasshouse. Sporty alloy wheels are framed by subtle black-lined wheelarches united by a dark skirt. All traits you’d expect from a sporty premium coupé SUV, of course.​

​Mega New HAVAL Jolion PRO cabin stars on space, style and spec

While it looks sportier, the New PRO is in reality both wider and taller than the regular Jolion City it now joins on the South African range. At 4.470 metres long, 1.898 metres wide, 1.625 metres tall, and riding on a conveniently long wheelbase, the new HAVAL Jolion PRO is also more spacious inside. 

The black cabin certainly looks just as contemporary as the rest of the car with a quality padded dash providing a smart lateral element. The focus is however on the horizontal plane, with the infotainment touchscreen floating above a row of one-touch buttons and a teutonic look central climate control vent below that. 

Jolion’s traditional rotary bezel gear selector sits below on the front of the centre console. It shares that space with smart space-managed open and shut storage binnacles to complement the large cubby ahead of the front passenger. 

New Jolion PRO safety specification rivals the very best

As smart, spacious and trendy as the new HAVAL Jolion PRO is, it is also safe. It comes standard with dual front, and front side SRS airbags, while Luxury models add side curtain airbags. Front seat belts have an unfastening warning and rear seats have ISOFIX child seat tethers. 

The crumple engineered high tensile body shell features an energy-absorbing steering column and collision unlocking function. Secondary Collision Mitigation, ABS anti-skid brakes have brake assist, electronic distribution and Hill Descent Control. Roll Over Mitigation Vehicle Stability and Traction Control adds Hill Assist.
