Summary
The Haval Jolion Pro is a small hybrid SUV, and the second UK model arrival for Chinese automotive powerhouse Great Wall Motors (GWM).
Now on sale alongside the smaller Ora 03 hatchback at GWM’s UK dealerships, the Haval Jolion Pro is only available as a 1.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid in Britain, and is a leftfield competitor to the likes of the popular MG ZS, Nissan Juke and Toyota Yaris Cross.
Despite the SUV’s cheap entry-level price and rather punchy powertrain, the car’s initial reception from the British motoring media has been less than kind.
“Why Haval thought it was a good idea to bring it here at all is anyone’s guess”, says Top Gear’s Joe Holding, concluding that the Chinese-built car “is one of the least inspiring cars” he’s ever driven that “falls well short in just about every single area that you’re likely to care about.”
Carwow’s Neil Briscoe adds that the Jolion Pro offers “good rear legroom and plenty of equipment”, but the car’s “poor economy and comically tiny boot” makes it hard to recommend over the likes of the Dacia Duster.
The UK motoring media hasn’t published many reviews on the GWM Haval Jolion Pro just yet. Keep checking back in coming weeks as we continue to build this page with more information about the compact SUV, including Euro NCAP safety credentials and Clear Vehicle Data running cost numbers.

“The GWM Haval Jolion Pro has good rear legroom and plenty of equipment – but a rubbish driving experience, poor economy and comically tiny boot mean you should get a Dacia Duster instead.”

“This wordily named Chinese SUV might offer lots of space for relatively little cash – but there’s precious little else to recommend.”

“The Haval Jolion Pro is one of the least inspiring cars we’ve ever driven. It falls well short in just about every single area that you’re likely to care about, plus a few that you won’t for good measure. What’s worse is that it lacks any sense of imagination or fun – it’s entirely tragic.”
