25 September 2026 by MyPR

A new guide from Top Chinese Car Brands looks behind the Haval Jolion’s sales numbers, at what actually separates the derivatives and where early ownership issues stand today.
The Jolion has climbed into South Africa’s top 10 best-selling passenger vehicles, but its strong sales figures mask real differences between derivatives that shape what buyers should expect from theirs.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Top Chinese Car Brands has published a guide examining the Haval Jolion, one of the country’s genuine sales success stories, and what’s actually behind those numbers.

A car selling in the tens of thousands doesn’t mean every derivative delivers the same experience, and the gap between GWM’s claimed fuel figures and what owners actually see can catch buyers off guard if they don’t know which Jolion they’re really comparing.

The guide explores the Jolion’s engine line-up, real-world fuel consumption versus claimed figures, the ADAS suite available on higher trims, early software issues and how GWM has addressed them, and the current ownership cover backing the range.

One figure stands out immediately, GWM registered 13,607 Jolion units in South Africa in 2025, a 47.7 percent jump year-on-year that pushed it into the country’s top 10 best-selling passenger vehicles overall.
