First Look Review
The Haval Jolion 1.5T is a compact crossover SUV produced by Great Wall Motors (GWM) under its Haval sub-brand. It was launched in 2020 at Beijing Auto Show as the successor to the Haval H2. The Jolion is built on GWM’s modular L.E.M.O.N. platform. The name “Jolion” translates to “First Love” in Chinese, which reflects its design philosophy aimed at first-time SUV buyers seeking a blend of style and functionality.
