The 2021 Haval Jolion replaces the underwhelming Haval H2 and is pronounced ‘Chulian’ in Mandarin (meaning ‘first love’) – and it has the credentials to really put Haval on the map in Australia.
On paper, the Jolion delivers a compelling sales pitch with sharp drive-away pricing starting at $25,490 for the entry-level Premium model grade that has a comprehensive equipment list to match.
Indeed, Haval is now looking to land a few king hits on the top sellers in the fast-growing small SUV segment, such as the MG ZS, Mitsubishi ASX and carsales’ Best Small SUV for 2021, the Hyundai Kona.
Every 2021 Haval Jolion model is fitted with an extremely high level of advanced driving and safety systems.
These include autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with car, cyclist and pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control with an effective traffic sign recognition system, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and an impressive lane keeping assistant.
There’s also a lane centre keeping system, which has several settings accessible through the detailed safety menu on the touch-screen display. On the most aggressive mode, it rivals Volkswagen Group systems in terms of proactive lane keeping, steering the car through mild bends with ease without getting too close to the lane markings.
A camera-based driver fatigue monitoring system and rear cross traffic alert are part of the package too, the latter helping to avoid slow-speed collisions when backing out of tight car parks.
The 360-degree parking camera is crystal clear and even features a 3D mode that helps take some of the stress out of parking.
Seven airbags are fitted as standard, including a centre front airbag, and Haval is confident the Jolion will snag a five-star ANCAP safety rating when it gets tested later in the year.
Other tech highlights include the big 12.3-inch touch-screen, which is a sight to behold and features full-screen Apple CarPlay when plugged in with a USB cable.
