The Chinese firm took its time to build a following in South Africa, but now it is reaping just rewards with the 2024 Haval Jolion Pro.
The 2024 Haval Jolion Pro feels like one of those overnight success stories that’s actually been years in the making. You see, Joe Bloggs from down the street may only be waking up to thein Mzansi for some time now. 14-years ago I test drove a Great Wall Motors Florid and, well, I’d be remiss to repeat my impressions of that experience here. Frankly, it’s difficult to imagine that vehicle is in anyway related to the 2024 Haval Jolion Pro 1.5T 7DCT Ultra Luxury I’m reviewing now.
Beneath the finely sculpted sheet metal of the 2024 Haval Jolion Pro, it rides on the company’s modular architecture. During our test period, we made sure to drove the Jolion on smooth asphalt, as well as rutted and careworn roads in the Western Cape following repeated winter rains. On poorer surfaces it does a fair job to deal with lumps and bumps, although there is still a moderate amount of vibration felt through its firm chassis.
It’s inside the roomy and comfy cabin that the 2024 Haval Jolion Pro really impresses. Practicality, interior ambience and comprehensive equipment levels are the real standout here. A contemporary, stylish facia is dominated by a crisp 12.3-inch infotainment screen. The interface is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible and responsible for most settings available on the vehicle.
