This car looks so good on paper, but is so disappointing in reality
It has all the right ingredients to make for an impressive small SUV – a five-star ANCAP safety rating, a spacious interior, decent styling, sharp prices, a long warranty and lots of tech. But it’s like they handed the recipe to a six-year-old and asked them to bake the cake, because this is a flop, in my opinion.
For this test I spent a week with 2023 GWM Haval Jolion S, which is the newest addition to the small SUV range from the Chinese brand – it has more power and torque than the standard models, a black exterior styling pack, and revised suspension.
But just like the other Haval Jolion models I’ve tested, it is a really annoying car to live with. If only the brand spent a bit more time fine-tuning the technology and powertrain before it released this car, it could well be a great option. But as it is, I am convinced you can do a lot better.

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you’re looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you’ve just bought your new car and you’re looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
