The Haval Jolion Pro builds on everything drivers love about the original: space, comfort and value now reimagined with a modern edge, sharper design, and also smarter technology. Designed for young professionals and families who want their ride to look as good as it feels, the Jolion Pro proves that premium and practical can indeed live in the same garage.
Styling updates
Styling-wise, the updated Haval Jolion Pro introduces a sleek smoked black package that adds definition to the grille, window trim and rear diffuser, giving the vehicle a more confident and dynamic presence.

Powering the drive
Powertrains remain the same with the Haval Jolion Pro presenting three distinct engine options. At the base level you have the 1.5-litre turbo petrol delivering 105kW of power and 210Nm of torque. This is front‐wheel drive, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Fuel consumption is claimed to be around 8.1 litres per 100km.
Stepping up, the 1.5T S version produces 130kW/270Nm and keeps the seven-speed DCT, offering a more spirited drive. But not at the expense of extra fuel with a claimed average of about 7.5 litres per 100km.
The flagship Jolion Pro Hybrid (HEV) variant combines a petrol engine with an electric motor, via Dedicated Hybrid Transmission. It produces 140kW/375Nm. With seamless switching between EV, series hybrid, parallel hybrid and regeneration modes, the SUV’s combined fuel consumption is rated at around 5.1 litres per 100 km.
