GWM Haval Jolion Pro (2025) | Expert Rating

Summary

The Haval Jolion Pro is a small hybrid SUV, and the second UK model arrival for Chinese automotive powerhouse Great Wall Motors (GWM).

Now on sale alongside the smaller Ora 03 hatchback at GWM’s UK dealerships, the Haval Jolion Pro is only available as a 1.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid in Britain, and is a leftfield competitor to the likes of the popular MG ZS, Nissan Juke and Toyota Yaris Cross.

Despite the SUV’s cheap entry-level price and rather punchy powertrain, the car’s reception from the British motoring media has been less than kind. UK-based reviews of this car are few in number, and all of them come to a similar prognosis.

“Why Haval thought it was a good idea to bring it here at all is anyone’s guess”, says Top Gear’s Joe Holding, concluding that the Chinese-built car “is one of the least inspiring cars” he’s ever driven that “falls well short in just about every single area that you’re likely to care about.”

Carwow’s Neil Briscoe adds that the Jolion Pro offers “good rear legroom and plenty of equipment”, but the car’s “poor economy and comically tiny boot” makes it hard to recommend over the likes of the Dacia Duster.

As of January 2026, the Haval Jolion Pro holds a New Car Expert Rating of E, with a score of 53%. This score, which is hindered by media review scores and high running costs, but helped by the car’s generous warranty, puts it firmly towards the bottom of the small SUV category in our Expert Rating index.

Running cost rating

The GWM Haval Jolion Pro is a relatively affordable car to run on a daily basis, according to ownership data provided exclusively by our partner Clear Vehicle Data.

Only available as a petrol-electric hybrid, the Jolion Pro can deliver an average fuel consumption of 47mpg. This isn’t terrible by any means, but hybrid rival the Dacia Duster has an average consumption of 55mpg, while the Toyota Yaris Cross is even more efficient at 59mpg.

The Yaris Cross also has much cheaper predicted insurance costs, while the Jolion Pro sits at about the market average for all models. This is likely because GWM Haval is an unknown brand for British insurers, who judge manufacturers on their reliability track record.

Warranty rating

New car warranty information for the GWM Haval Jolion Pro

GWM’s new car warranty is better than average, and better than rival brands in a similar price bracket as the Haval Jolion Pro.

The duration is five years, with no limit on mileage. In addition to the standard new car warranty, the hybridised Jolion Pro has an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.

Warranty on a used GWM Haval Jolion Pro

• If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ GWM Haval Jolion Pro from an official GWM dealership, you will get the remaining balance of the original five-year warranty included.
• If you are buying a used GWM Haval Jolion Pro from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
• If you are buying a used GWM Haval Jolion Pro from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy any used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
