[@bondigreygroup348]

Fuel consumption on my Jolion is 6.5l/100km @120km/h on Eco mode urban/combined. So all these high fuel consumption iterations are untrue and based on Sports mode which all manufacturers consume high fuel regardless.

Jolion is a masterpiece

Give us a better engine and I'm sold!! I'm loving how the Chinese are making all the other brands look at their products and putting them to shame. Try get all this tech in a German vehicle!!! You'll end up paying an additional 100 - 200k for all the extras. The Chinese give you everything for a reasonable price. This is how it should be. Hope the others learn from them.

[@jeremynaidoo2160]

I have one. 😊. The fuel comes down to 8lts per 100kms after the first 1000 kms. I and I get over 800kms on a full tank that is 55lts..well worth it..

Juliet I bullshit you not when I tell you you NEED To drive the H6. I bought a lux a month ago and I am super happy. Ridiculously powerful 150kw engine that will leave any Everest or fortuner in the dust. Refinement not bad either. H6 is undoubtably the best Chinese car in SA. Jolion not far behind. Great review

Fully agree. Also bought a white H6 Lux. Bloody awesome car.

@@calebbrownley2098 brilliant Caleb, I think we have bought a vehicle that Haval knew will set the tone for the future of their range. Quick question, did your apple car play come preinstalled. I can’t seem to find mine in the infotainment system. Apparently android Auto is also standard, where can I access this?

If you don't see apple carplay or android auto you need to take the car back to dealer to have your software updated. I had to now all sorted.

The jolion has more safety features than the H6 because it’s a more recent car.

Got one, and understand your excitement Juliet. It is just an amazing car. EVERYBODY that I have shown the car to is surprised once they experience the inside. Fuel consumption after 5000km's average 7.8 L/100KM, so not the greatest, even brand new I got less than 10L/100km in town so not sure how you are driving :)

[@zwelomthethontloko2538]

Hi Juliet, bought two havals, jolion and h6. The consumption comes down after the first service (5000km). My wife's jolion is now averaging 7,6l and my h6 4wd 8.7l

[@zwelomthethontloko2538]

Needs to be on eco though, my only concern at the moment is my Bluetooth mic on the h6, people can't hear me speak#@ but will sort that out at the dealer

[@OrosDad]

After watching the video a second time I thought I should add a few comments. Looking at your instrument cluster i noted that the car has done less than 1000km and are in Sport mode. This will definitely contribute to high petrol usage. You have 4 modes to choose from (Sport/Normal/ECO/Snow) and your comment on the engine not feeling refined probably has to do with the fact that you are in Sport mode as the refs are un needlessly high and waits for you to put your foot down. In normal and ECO it perfectly chooses the correct gear. ECO does feel in town a bit sluggish, but not on open road.

[@tshepisolebuso4173]

I read a comment somewhere that it has a 6 speaker harman system and that its pretty good... although that was just 1 comment so no idea how accurate that is😁

[@friedookiehil]

I was hoping this would happen. And so it did! The H2 is like the most popular car on the road, especially in maroon😂. My prediction was spot on. I'm glad it upped the game here, since the Germans and also lately the Koreans started upping only prices. I don't drive one, but seems I will be more easily swayed now.

[@deanwilliams2374]

I feel sorry for the manufacturers who push the smaller volumes (Mitsubishi, Renault, Honda, etc) , these Havals (and the GWM P-Series) is totally disrupting the market share for them. As for the other guys (Toyota, VW, et al) they may lose a few, but not a significant number of customers. As for longevity and reliability, let's see in 4 years. But I'm happy for this disruption in the market. It does raise the question as to "what am I really paying" for with the other more established manufacturers

[@vvr881]

Spot on!...let's see in 4yrs time, and resale value/ demand will probably be down the toilet

[@wcrash9361]

@@vvr881 Very unlikely as the Chinese brands have only been getting better and better and now the older brands just can’t compete with the safety tech and style and space and comfort for the price that China can manufacture for still using the same steel the same Bosch electronics and the design been done by people who used to work for range Rover

[@meaganleroux3415]

I drive a havaal h2 lux, I LOVE my car, but.... same thing you said, fuel consumption sucks... and the h2 does not have the option of different drive modes and it is for that reason only, that I am not planning on another havaal until the engine is tweaked... I have said before, I used to drive the ford fiesta ecoboost years back , I wish they could do some type of ecoboost turbo charged engine, where you get the power and good fuel consumption... a girl can dream.

[@thabomahlaba5193]

That's a one good car, loaded with features galore.

[@David-ej1ps]

The Chinese are going to do to the car market what they did to the mobile phone market. HUAWEI was considered crap when they came out less than 10 years ago, look now.

[@TicTechToe]

Great review! Any idea whether/when Global NCAP #SaferCarsForAfrica crash test ratings for the Jolion will be out?

[@69ssj]

I watched another video of some Ozzie reviewing the H6 and Jolion and he says we recommends that we not buy these cars until a crash test has been conducted.

[@TicTechToe]

@@69ssj It's actually nothing about Haval in particular or even them being Chinese. In fact, many modern Chinese cars have just as good safety performance, if not better, than rivals. The problem is, we can never say that we're getting the same car in markets like SA or India. The H6 was crash-tested by the Australasian NCAP last week and achieved five stars, but for all we know the car sold in SA could be completely different under the skin. For example, the Kia Seltos scored very well in the Australasian NCAP in 2019 barely scored a three star Global NCAP rating for adult protection in India (bordering on two stars, in fact) and it was discovered that the Seltos that's sold in Africa and India is a completely different car that just looks like a Seltos. The only manufacturers so far in Africa who have shown consistent safety performance across markets are Mahindra, Mazda, Toyota and Honda. In India you could add Volkswagen and Tata. The recent Renaults (Kiger, Triber) did well too but the Kwid for India and Africa has consistently done worse than the South American one. The Haval being a direct import from China I have high expectations but they need to have it tested locally under #SaferCarsForAfrica project. Manufacturers are allowed to pay for a test in case Global NCAP doesn't pick it up themselves, but the last time they tested a Haval (H1) they refused to engage with Global NCAP whatsoever, not even providing the necessary information for the test (child seats, etc.). That's why I'm worried.

[@jonathandalton2921]

@@wcrash9361 I think you're confusing the H1 and the H2, the H1 architecture is pretty much Toyota yaris/Daihatsu materia, engine/ front wheel drive /computer, loads of parts. The H2 uses different parts, the original block is similar to the old Mitsubishi 1.5 liter non turbo motor. It also uses a different gearbox. The h1 gearbox is practically identical to the one in a Yaris. The brakes and steering are interchangeable with a materia. The H2 is not.

[@letsseeif]

Have All Jolly good.

[@rnburley]

Hi Juliet. Thanks for the great videos. Your reviews are always different to every other review that is the reviewer basically saying the same things as each other. My 2c on the Haval: Don't underestimate the fuel cost. Compared to a rival like a Mazda CX-5 that can easily do 8/100km, this Haval will cost R145,000 more on fuel over 200 000KM (if it will get there in the first place). That is with current fuel prices which will surely only go up so it will get worse for the Haval. That R145 000 extra will put you in a near top of the range Mazda CX-5 and is far more established, refined, better parts availability and a much better resale value. It's a similar story with Toyota, Kia, etc. The only thing the Haval has got going for it is some gimmicky tech and if we know anything about cars over the last few years, the tech never ages well. So in the end you are not really saving and will likely lose out come resale time.
