| Nick Dalton

GWM Australia’s Haval Jolion SUV is now available in two hybrid versions.

The Jolion Hybrid comes in Lux and Ultra versions and power is delivered via GWM’s

1.5L Hybrid engine mated to the Dedicated Hybrid Transmission DHT to deliver combined outputs of 139kW of power and 375Nm of torque. Fuel economy is a low 5 litres per 100km using regular unleaded fuel.

GWM’s DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission) smart hybrid system combines a petrol engine and electric motor with an electronically controlled transmission to offer excellent acceleration and performance at low speeds with increased efficiency and power at higher speeds to deliver a driving experience similar to that of a BEV.

With the ability to operate in multiple drive modes including EV, Series, Parallel and Regeneration, GWM’s DHT smart hybrid system has been designed to provide maximum efficiency across all speed and load conditions. With highly integrated and compact design for lighter weight, the DHT system also offers excellent reliability and NVH performance.

Priced at $40,990 driveaway, the Jolion Ultra Hybrid is equipped with the same wide variety of premium interior, connectivity and safety features as the current Jolion Lux but is set apart with a new front grille, new front LED and fog lights with blue accents, a new front bumper, new rear spoiler and new 18in alloy wheels.

GWM’s ongoing commitment to delivering the safest vehicles possible is underlined by the extensive array of active safety standard on the Jolion Hybrid which includes Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian, cyclist and crossroads detection, Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Detection and Lane Change Assist, Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR).

Like all GWM products, the new Haval Jolion Hybrid is backed by a seven-year/unlimited km warranty, five-years roadside assistance and five-years capped price servicing.

Supply challenges that had been affecting GWM Australia for months now look to be largely in the rear-view mirror and the company expects another record sales performance in 2023 with total sales in excess of 20,000.

GWM is the brand under which GWM Ute and Haval SUVs are sold in Australia.

The Jolion Ultra Hybrid alos features 18in alloy wheels, Comfortek leather seats with six-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, microfibre leather steering wheel, 7in colour LED instrument cluster, 12.3in colour multimedia touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, six-speaker DTS audio, electronic anti-glare rear view mirror, Heads Up Display, wireless phone charging, panoramic sunroof, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), seven SRS airbags (including centre airbag) and adaptive cruise control.
