Overview

Looking for a locally assembled SUV with family space and a turbo-petrol drivetrain? The 2025 GWM Haval Jolion targets Sri Lankan buyers wanting five seats, useful equipment and official local support. Its 1.5-litre turbo engine pairs with a seven-speed DCT. The local specification is well equipped for comfort, but several advanced driver-assistance systems are unavailable.

Pros

110 kW and 220 Nm: The turbo engine provides useful output for overtaking. The official 0–100 km/h claim is 8.3 seconds.

2,700 mm wheelbase: This supports useful rear-passenger space within a five-seat cabin. Local owner feedback also highlights rear-seat room.

337–1,133 litres of luggage capacity: The 60:40 rear seats increase carrying capacity when fewer passengers travel.

Six airbags: The Sri Lankan specification also includes ESC, TCS, hill-start assistance and hill-descent control.

Six years or 150,000 km warranty: The manufacturer warranty applies until either limit is reached first.

Cons

Several driver-assistance features are absent: The local model lacks AEB, adaptive cruise, lane assistance, blind-spot detection, 360-degree viewing and HUD.

168 mm ground clearance: This leaves less margin over severe potholes, damaged road edges and unusually high speed humps.

337-litre boot with five seats raised: Families carrying luggage for five occupants should check whether this capacity is sufficient.

Long-term DCT evidence remains limited: Sri Lankan ownership data is still too young to judge long-term heavy-traffic behaviour confidently.

Resale behaviour is still developing: First customer deliveries only began in October 2025, limiting meaningful long-term resale evidence.

Driver Insights

4
out of 5

Based on local owner feedback and early market impressions, the GWM Haval Jolion 2025 appears to offer an easy-going, comfortable driving experience suited to everyday family use. Early feedback points to responsive acceleration from the 1.5-litre turbo engine and generally positive drivability from the seven-speed DCT. Owners and local buyers also highlight cabin space and ride comfort as strengths for longer journeys. However, long-term evidence on DCT behaviour in heavy Colombo traffic remains limited.

Exterior Design

Local owner feedback highlights exterior looks as one reason for choosing the Jolion. The panoramic roof and 18-inch wheels reinforce its presence, supporting a 4/5 rating.
