We bought a top-spec petrol variant a few months ago as a 2nd vehicle and except for a few minor annoyances, it's an excellent car for the price. I don't know if I could recommend paying an extra $7K on the hybrid for a minor improvement in fuel economy.
I appreciate this review because it is loaded with information and it presents the pros and cons fairly (unlike some reviews that focus on positive spin on the car, or distract with antics of the presenter). Good example...8:32 Keep up the good work and I look forward to future reviews.
Those 'funny' slots work very well for extra phone storage etc... btw seats are not leather - they're a faux leather. If you feel low to the ground - there's an adjustment button on the drivers seat to raise you up. As for the rubber lining.... it's not there on more current models - so maybe a mirror edge protection cover for transport pre-valet?
Decent looking practical and down to earth family car imo no need to pay so much more for a fancy or luxury brand just for the kids to destroy 😅😅😅 the interior at least
Great review, but I wouldm't say that even the cheapest Corolla cross would compete with it in terms of cost/specification. The Jolion Ultra is the top of line that comes with anything you would want from a good car. The top of line Corolla Cross (comparabel features and tech) is pratically 8k more expensive than the Jolion.
I have still doubt Jolion HEV variant has turbocharged engine like petrol version. But as per my observation it is powered by Naturally aspirated engine connected to dedicated hybrid dual motor trasmission. Pls help to get correct information. Thanks
Of course... as is pretty clearly visible the whole way through the driving sections of the video. Even if you live in a jurisdiction where a seatbelt isn't required by law, we strongly suggest the use of a seatbelt, worn properly across your chest and low across your hips. Essential for safety in the event of an accident.
Nice one, I also did a users review of the Haval Jolion HEV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-227Z6vLJhN0.html A couple of things - I actually found the breaking good. It also has one peddle driving as well. I also found the steering wheel a little thin, however you get past that eventually. Steering column adjustment wasn’t an issue for me I’ve found the drive very smooth and controlled. No body roll for me I’ve been able to get as low as 5.4/100 with a combo of country driving and city. I’ve done just under 500km in mine. One thing I can’t work out however is how the car chooses when to switch to EV. I’ve been able to drive around town in total EV mode 60kmph and under, and then it sometimes turns on when I’m doing 110kmph randomly - I think it has something to do with the power output and if the ICE needs to push you along
Sorry, but Toyota has no competition when it comes to hybrid technology, they invented it! Nothing comes even close Toyota when it comes to transition from electric to petrol engines, especially from a Chinese car!
Poor economy, high price, unproven product and support. This is a miss. Oh dear, there are still logos on the seats and way too many badges, subtle it's not. Last time I looked the USB port for the head unit was on the passenger side and the seat heating controls were still configured for LHD on the touch screen. The screens are also angled slightly to the passenger side.
@@robertceroli3512 They may be selling but it’s too early to conclude on product reliability, longevity, technical support and how customers are treated.
@@GlowingTube wrong haval has been around for few years now and 80 dealerships around Oz. Kia and Hyundai took nearly 20 years to start producing anything of this size quality and features
@@TheMelbournelad Yes, I maintain a spreadsheet with multiple criteria and weightings that I use to shortlist brands. I also draw on independent quality and reliability surveys. I especially like the graphs I have created… the use of directional pastels really finished things off nicely. I’m also told by people (mostly behind my back) that I should get a life.
