Need honest owner review on Haval Jolion 1.5T

[syedbasitashraf]

Hi guys! Are there any Haval Jolion 1.5T owners here? I plan to buy it as a zero-meter insha'Allah since it seems to be the best bang for the buck in the market right now with all the features and long warranty period.

I had a couple of questions:
1) What are the terms and conditions for maintaining the vehicle's warranty? I asked the dealership and they said 5000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first but I just wanted to confirm if it is true or just a sales tactic to sell the vehicle
2) Are there any known faults that I should be aware of

Lastly, if you have recommendations for another vehicle, please do share them with me. The budget is strictly 85 lac, must be zero-meter and I plan to keep it for the next 3-4 years. Jazak'Allah!

@msabbasi is the gentleman you need. He has one in his family I think.

Other SUVs in your budget are corolla cross and oshan x7. What do you think about these two?

Thank you! I've sent him a message

Oshan is a bit bigger and my dad wants a smaller car, Jolion is the perfect size for him. For context, he has a Corolla right now. As for the Corolla Cross, it has cramped space in the backseat and it just doesn't have any features apart from the Toyota badge. I also considered Elantra but it's an older model and again lacks the features that Jolion comes with.

my few cents on the oshan x7 and jolion.

Salam I have a friend who just recently bought an Oshan X7. His younger brother has a Jolion. I have driven both vehicles extensively and here is my few cents. Oshan X7 is very torqy and an absolute pleasure to drive. I am talking about the FutureSense version which is a 5 seater (the 7 seater version called comfort comes with the same engine but a lot less features). It has decent features but I will tell you about the things that I miss. There is no grab handle for the front passenger and …

Very detailed review, thank you!

salam,
thanks. but they have made improvements to the facelift version of oshan x7. added grab handles, infotainment system has been improved and android auto option has been added. some even say that headlamp brightness has been improved as well. the facelift also comes with new alloy wheels. also, the interior livery has also been changed from white to tan brown which is good considering white is difficult to maintain.
also, the jolion comes with hud which is quite good. jolion is totally recommended but if you want more torque and power than oshan all the way!

I really like Oshan but dad would like to have a bit smaller car. However I'm glad to see Chinese vehicles getting positive reviews in the market. More quality products would mean more options for customers and ultimately competitively priced products! a win-win for everyone, well except the big 3 perhaps

I highly recommend that you take a test drive of both cars with your dad. Oshan is bigger however from driving perspective it doesn’t feel like a big SUV . It has very good road grip and the torque is just awesome!

Hi bro, how are you? I am also planning to purchase a Haval Jolion 1.5T Petrol with the same budget. Can you share which variant you bought or which one you think is the best option within 84 lakh?

[syedbasitashraf]

Hello, ended up buying Haval Jolion 1.5T. Good car, gives around 10-12 within city, haven't driven it on long. I would suggest to wait for a while and see reviews of the new MG HS facelift. That's the other car in similar size and price bracket. If you want a 7 seater bigger car then Oshan is the best value to money. Feel free to ask me any questions that you may have

Very nice!
Congratulations on the purchase. It’s a very nice vehicle with a lot of good tech.

s in your budget are corolla cross and oshan x7. What do you think about these

Hi Syed Basit,
In your initial post, you was planning to purchase HEV. Any specific reason/benefit to purchase 1.5T?

[syedbasitashraf]

Hello! HEV was never a consideration since our daily travel is around 30 km on average. Moreoever, the budget was around 80lac and HEV goes above the budget
