GWM Haval Jolion Pro
Chinese firm Great Wall Motor follows up Ora electric supermini with mid-sized hybrid crossover The Haval Jolion Pro is now on sale in the UK – which will probably come as a surprise to you, so quietly has this Chinese brand arrived. To be fair, it isn’t technically a brand here (unlike in Australia, where incredibly it outsold Volkswagen in 2024). Instead, it’s a sub-brand of GWM, like Ora, which makes the 03 electric supermini – previously known in infamy as the Funky Cat.So to be clear, GWM is the brand, and Ora and Haval models are set to be joined in UK showrooms by more of their Chinese siblings in due course. All went quiet on the Wey front long ago, but perhaps you might fancy a Tank or a Poer…?Yeah, GWM’s marketing strategy is confused. Or maybe the blame for that lies with International Motors, the Brummie firm that also handles UK imports for Isuzu, Subaru and Xpeng.But either way, we’re here to find out whether the Jolion Pro is a car that can speak for itself.
