GWM Haval H6 Hybrid VS Jolion Hybrid REVIEW

2022 Haval: Jolion HEV VS H6 HEV - A Surprising Result
Written Review: gaycarboys.com/2022-haval-jol...
In this test we put the 2022 Haval H6 HEV against its little sister, the Jolion HEV.
Both are SUVs from the Chinese manufacturer, with front wheel drive, and hybrid drivetrains.
Looks:
Looks are subjective, right? Something that appeals to one, may not be fancied by the bloke next to you. The panel of 6 preferred the handsome Jolion, especially the front end.
The DTRLs and headlight array gave the face a great modern look.
Casper preferred the rear end of the H6
Cabin:
Both came with well-designed cabins.
They had double story centre consoles with storage under. USB counts were similar, as was the sound systems, safety and driver aids, and general cabin feel.
For around $4,000 more, H6 provide more space and softer surfacing. H6 front seats were heated and cooled, greater sense of quality than in Jolion.
Most preferred the design aesthetic of the Jolion, but the functionality of the H6.
Max liked the “Tron effect” ambient lighting with the dash fascia on the passenger’s side.
The Drive:
Jolion was slightly ahead on handling, but H6 on ride quality.
The positioning of the cruise controls on H6 on a stalk below the indicator was given a universal thumbs down.
H6 and Jolion both had the same hybrid systems with a “dedicated hybrid transmission”. Acceleration was smooth with both being able to combine EV, Parallel, and series hybrid driving. As with all hybrid drives, the battery charge is kept constant by recovering energy in coasting and braking, and by using the petrol engine.
Out put of 139kw for the Jolion was 40kw less than that of the 1789kw H6. For the reason, H6 nudged ahead in driving preference.
Both have a 5 star safety rating.

Excellent review. Thanks so much for the comparison.

Would you say the Haval H6 Hybrid is more fun to drive than the Rav 4 Hybrid?

[@tonybennett638]

Well done sir👍

I just picked up my Jolion ultra hybrid 3 days ago. I’m in Far North Queensland Australia. There isn’t anything to dislike so far. Drove it home (250klm) and she was a dream to drive. Indicators on the left will take a little to get used too. Back in the day I had a Holden Astra and they had them on the left also, so not a deal breaker for me. Picked up really well when overtaking (in an overtaking lane). I haven’t really tested anything out yet, but the info screen is rather easy to work out so far even for someone that’s 62😂 I’m struggling with the auto as I’ve driven Manuel cars all my life. I guess it’s something that I will get used too. I didn’t have to wait for my car as they had them on the lot. As opposed to the wait times on the Toyota. Raves. Great video by the way 😊

[@gaycarboys]

100% agree. I like a manual now and then, but prefer autos these days. I hope you don't have to drive 250km when you want a service!

[@karenrezuk5471]

@@gaycarboys sure do…. But I travel to Townsville every month so it’s not an issue. That’s the down side of living in a small town.

[@gaycarboys]

you run up a lot of K's if you add 1,000km to the monthly total. lovely place though, if a bit steamy in summer

[@karenrezuk5471]

@@gaycarboys it’s steamy now and we’re in the middle of May. I have the aircon on in the house 😂

[@reececozaa9328]

How are you finding the fuel ecnomy overall?

[@WazzaG076]

Very detailed review of what appears to be a surprisingly good SUV, especially at the price. If you were looking for a vehicle in this class you’d be mad not to at least test drive either of these. Well done Alan.

[@gaycarboys]

no one was more surprised than we were. if it is long-lived, all is well. but only time will tell

[@kickoffshowguy]

If I was in the market for a car of this size I would buy the Citroën C4 such a great car and extremely underrated

[@gaycarboys]

C4 is a bit smaller of course, but agreed, much under rated

[@gregturner_awod]

Haval seem to be catching up, not quite there, but the price if attractive for those seeking a new car without a huge cost. Petrol consumption a bit high for a hybrid I think. City yes, regional, maybe not so great. The auto parking is good. I’ve never been brave enough to use it. Long term if properly cared for likely a good investment. Nice design, and it does seem to offer a great deal for the money. Great review that provided a fair perspective of the value in these cars. Unsure what the warranty is?

[@gaycarboys]

we've left some details for a full review of each later on. but how can you go wrong for thr money

[@gregturner_awod]

Agreed!

[@robertceroli3512]

Youl find the jolion and H6 hybrid is not inferior to the big T in fact it's laden with more bells and whistles and it's available now not in 2 years

[@gaycarboys]

i think the point was the last generation was terrible, and quite shoddy. now not the case. it doesn't play in the same sandpit as Toyota, yet. we always reserve judgement to see how they last on our terrible roads.

[@coldude2559]

They are the new Kia/Hyundai if that makes sense.....

[@gaycarboys]

agreed

[@conrafael9465]

Would you pick the Jolion or the H6

[@gaycarboys]

think i'd go H6, but then it isn't my money:)

[@johnwick860]

not a fan of LGBTQ especially in North America but your review is great sir
