Jolion HEV – Last week I drove the Haval Jolion HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle), and I have to say it was a pleasant car to drive.
Looking for premium buyers the Jolion HEV comes with a premium interior, connectivity and safety features found on the current Jolion Ultra grades
Outside the Jolion HEV features LED headlights and foglights, revised bumpers, rear spoiler and 18 inch alloy wheels.

Inside is e-where the surprise is. It’s comfortable and surprisingly spacious. We had five adults on board and all had enough leg room. The rear seat leg room just may be best in class.
There are some touches of luxury with heated front seats, 12.3 inch central touch screen, 360 degree camera and one touch electric windows all around.
Jolion HEV features a 1.5L Hybrid engine combined with the Dedicated Hybrid Transmission to provide both high-efficiency and high-performance with a combined Power output of 139 kW, 375 Nm of torque and an average fuel consumption of 5.0L/100km.
At no stage did I feel the performance was lacking and it was responsive. The transmission was a little jerky at times though.
Pricing for the Jolion HEV is $40,990 drive away and that is outstanding value.

GWM Dedicated Hybrid Technology Overview
GWM Dedicated Hybrid Technology (DHT) is a core technology route in GWM’s electrification roadmap which provides both high-efficiency and high-performance at the same time. DHT is aimed to provide solutions for both urban driving and interstate long distance driving.
1.5L hybrid engine
- Engine power-70kW,torque-125N·m
- Motor power-110kW,torque-250N·m
- Max power-139kW,Max torque-375N·m
- 0~100km/h speed up takes 8.2 seconds
Highly integrated DHT
Three modes
- Electric Vehicle
- Hybrid electric
- Petrol only
2 motors – 2 gears – 6 modes
Highly integrated industry design: Smaller size, lighter weight, higher transmission efficiency, excellent NVH performance and greater reliability.
Gears:P,R,N,D1,D2
1 low speed ratio for high speed cruise, more economical
2 large speed ratio for engine direct drive and overtakes
Dual motor topological structure to realize multiple optimal working modes under different load capacity
DHT Modes
EV drive:
- Disconnection of engine powertrain, Battery powers TM
- TM efficiently transmits power to wheels by twostage toothed gear
35-65km/h:
- Engine direct drive via DHT (low speed gear)
- TM stands by, dynamically adjust engine working load
- (direct drive)
>65km/h:
- Economic engine direct drive via DHT (high speed
gear) - TM stands by, dynamically adjust engine working load
Full load drive:
- 3 power units (Engine, GM, and TM) synchronously output power
Deceleration & downhill:
- Disconnection of clutch, efficiently recycle power through TM
Powertrain
“Seven-in-one” highly integrated hybrid powertrain
- Highly integrated: 7 in 1 highly integrated compact design, easy to carry and arrange for the whole vehicle
- High efficiency: Fixed axis gear transmission, the highest transmission efficiency ≥97%, More fuelefficient;
- Smooth shift: Can realize shifting without power interruption and improve driving smoothness
- Quiet NVH: The motor stator has a low-harmonic winding structure, the rotor has three-stage oblique
poles, and the gearbox adopts a high gear coincidence design. NVH excellent performance - Control integration: Integrated design of parking and shifting, electronic pump directly controls the
clutch, compact structure and better cost
HEV Battery
High-power, low-resistance, high-performance HEV battery
- High-performance battery: Use CATL high-power low-resistance batteries
- Large battery capacity
- Super quiet: Adopt advanced silent air-cooling technology
- Super discharge rate: Discharge power 70.9kW (RT, 10s, 50% SOC)
- Long warranty: 8 years/Unlimited kms
- Strict certification: Certified with the E-Mark
Driving Performance
The DHT platform does not pursue the highest performance at a single point but aims to maximise overall efficiency of the power system. Currently, comprehensive efficiency of the power system can reach over 50%.
