With fuel prices soaring in Pakistan, hybrid cars are becoming more appealing to consumers. This technology, commonly found in family vehicles like crossovers and sedans, has been popularized by Haval, China’s leading crossover manufacturer. The Jolion model now features hybrid technology and is recognizable by its blue-accented headlights, reminiscent of Toyota’s HEVs.
In contrast, the H6, an upgraded model from the Jolion HEV, was released in November 2022 with a price difference of over 2.6 million. Let’s compare the two:
Here’s the current pricing:
- Haval H6 HEV: 1.18 Crores PKR
- Haval Jolion HEV: 9.29 Million PKR
Haval H6 HEV and Haval Jolion HEV Overview
In the competitive Pakistani automotive market, having an electrified powertrain with a combination of petrol engines is crucial for sales success. Haval has quickly adapted to this trend by introducing the H6 HEV as a CKD production. The Jolion HEV, launched two years later, has already made a significant impact in the market, surpassing well-known brands like Toyota and MG.
Haval H6 HEV and Haval Jolion HEV Verdict
The hybrid system in the H6 offers unmatched performance, making it the top choice in its class for power, aesthetics, build quality, and driving experience. It outshines other HEV crossovers from major brands.
On the other hand, the Jolion has gained global popularity in countries like Australia, China, and the USA due to its combination of luxury and affordability. While traditional brands charge high prices ranging from 30-50 million, the Jolion offers similar features at less than 10 million, with a stylish and premium interior.
Exterior Looks
Exterior design preferences may vary, but our team at Pakwheels found the striking Jolion particularly appealing, especially its front and side profiles. Both models are built on GWM’s ‘L.E.M.O.N PLATFORM,’ designed for lightweight, power efficiency, and enhanced protection.
Both cars feature chrome grilles with prominent HAVAL badges on the front. The Jolion’s unique DRL design and boomerang-shaped headlights stand out, while the H6 boasts a sleek crossover design with distinct lighting elements and a rear spoiler.
Interior
Both the H6 and Jolion offer luxurious and well-designed interiors that rival Japanese and Korean brands in the same price range. With ample storage compartments and premium finishes, the cabins provide a high-end feel akin to German luxury vehicles.
The H6 offers extra space and softer surfaces compared to the Jolion, along with heated front seats for added comfort. Both models come equipped with advanced features and driver aids.
