Cheaper 2023 GWM Haval Jolion Lux Hybrid on sale now

A cheaper version of the 2023 GWM Haval Jolion Hybrid small SUV is now available to order in Australia, ahead of first showroom arrivals in the coming weeks.

Priced from $36,990 drive-away, the new Jolion Lux Hybrid is $3000 cheaper than the top-of-the-range Ultra Hybrid, and matches the mid-grade Lux version of the petrol version on standard technology and safety.

However, GWM (Great Wall Motors) Haval continues to ask $6000 extra for hybrid technology over to the standard petrol Jolion (compared to about $2500 for a hybrid Toyota Corolla Cross, over a petrol version).

It is worth noting the price of the flagship GWM Haval Jolion Ultra Hybrid was cut by $1000 after the announcement of pricing in August 2022, from $40,990 to $39,990 drive-away.

The Jolion Lux Hybrid is powered by the same 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine and electric propulsion system as the Ultra Hybrid, with a claimed 139kW and 375Nm, and claimed fuel efficiency of 5.0 litres per 100km.

Its standard feature list matches the petrol Jolion Lux, aside from the inclusion of the Ultra Hybrid model's hybrid-specific front bumper, blue headlight accents, and hybrid badges.

UPDATE, 22 February 2023: GWM Haval Australia has clarified the Jolion Lux Hybrid rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, not the Ultra Hybrid's 18-inch wheels as initially reported by the company. This story has been updated accordingly.

Six colours are available: Hamilton White, Golden Black, Glacier Blue, Smoke Grey, Azure Blue and Mars Red.
