The first shipments of the All-New Haval Jolion LE (Launch Edition) SUV have arrived into Australia ahead of deliveries to dealer showrooms.
The Jolion LE will be available in two grades initially, the mid-grade Lux and range-topping Ultra, and limited to a total of 300 units in Australia.
It features a chrome grille finish with horizontal accents to creat e a bold, premium impression which will set it apart from future models.
Completely new from the ground up and like its larger sibling the new H6 , the All New Haval Jolion sits on the company's new global ligh tweight modular platform to provide a more refined and enjoyable driving experience.
Power is delivered to the front wheels by a re engineered 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine with 110kW of power and 210Nm of torque mated to a 7 speed Dual Clutch Transmissio n (DCT) Four different drive modes are available on demand to cater for various driving con ditions Standard, Eco, Sport and Snow.
The Jolion has been be nchmarked against the best selling glo bal SUV s which has resulted in a wheelbase of 2700mm , length of 4472mm and width of 1841mm.
With the flexibility and feature set of a larger SUV but at a small SUV price point, the Jolion is expected to stand out in a competitive market and make significant contribution to growing the GWM brand further in Australia and international markets.
Technology is very much at the fore with features such as a colour LED instrument cluster, Heads Up Display, camera based fatigue monitoring and wireless charging available.
Safety also remains a priority with Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Sign Recognition and Rear Cross Traffic Alert standard across the range.
GWM Australia Head of Marketing & Communications, Steve Maciver said "There's certainly a lot happening at GWM at the moment. To now confirm the arrival of the All-New Haval Jolion, hot on the heels of the All-New H6, is indicative of the progress that our brand is making. With two brand new SUV options that are loaded with technology, safety and value, there has never been a better time for buyers to consider Haval."
With contemporary styling both inside and out, the All-New Haval Jolion is the second of the new Haval SUV line-up to be conceived by world-renowned designer Phil Simmons.
Produced in GWM's new statea-of-the-art production facility in Taizhou, near Shanghai, the Jolion is an important strategic model in realizing the company's international growth ambitions.
