The Haval Jolion HEV recently received the highest marks from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) following testing to confirm safety performance, and high voltage battery integrity for the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Launched in the country in April 2023, the Haval Jolion HEV is one of the newest intelligent and “green” compact crossovers in the Philippines, and it has gained a five-star safety rating for its hybrid variant from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP SAFETY).
ANCAP’s assessment, including destructive crash testing (frontal offset and oblique pole tests), noted how effective the Jolion’s standard innovative safety features are, which include all-scenario autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW), emergency lane keeping (ELK), and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS). The report also took note of the subcompact crossover’s center, dual frontal, side chest-protecting, and side head-protecting (curtain) airbags.
According to Tonette Lee, marketing and sales director for GWM Philippines, this is a testament to GWM’s global strategy, and leading-edge technology, which are its advantages as the global brand enters the Philippine market.
“To achieve a five-star ANCAP rating, production vehicles must perform at a high level across the four key safety categories, and are required to meet minimum score thresholds for each star rating level. For example, a vehicle cannot achieve a five-star ANCAP safety rating without providing a good level of protection to child occupants. ANCAP’s recent five-star safety rating for the Jolion HEV highlights its excellent safety qualities, and with this, every model in the HAVAL lineup for the Philippines is now ANCAP five-star,” said Lee.
“With the Haval Jolion HEV, Philippine customers get the full benefit of an innovative full hybrid crossover at an affordable price with 5-star safety,” she added.
In addition to the five-star safety rating, the Haval Jolion is packed with power and fuel economy as the company’s premier subcompact crossover. Its 1.5L hybrid variant provides both high efficiency and high performance with a combined output of 186 HP, 375 Nm of torque, and an average low fuel consumption of 5L/100km, allowing the Jolion to provide superior drive dynamics while being environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient.
From the ergonomically designed seats and a driver-focused cockpit to the generous legroom and ample boot space, the Jolion was designed with comfort in mind. Its simple yet trendy and modern design is highlighted with a stylish and fashionable interior featuring an eye-catching 12.3” touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the middle of the dash.
The Jolion is available in four variants: the HEV DHT Supreme, DCT Supreme, DCT Max, and DCT Plus.
