GWM Jolion GT

Jolion GT is a discontinued South African SUV with historical specifications for used-car research.

Launched into the South African market in 2024, the Jolion GT shares the underlying platform with its Jolion sibling but adopts a more aggressive coupe-SUV roofline, more powerful 2.0-litre hybrid powertrain, larger wheels, and a substantially uprated cabin specification. Combined torque on the LT is 380 Nm, and the 0-100 km/h time comes down to around 7.9 seconds — quick by compact-SUV standards and faster than the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 N-Line or KIA Sportage GT-Line. The hybrid system retains the dedicated hybrid transmission architecture used in the Jolion, but the 2.0-litre engine gives the system more headroom for highway overtaking and uphill cruising. Pricing positions the GT at R579,900 for the LS and R629,900 for the LT — a R60,000 premium over the equivalent Jolion Hybrid trim, which buys you the larger engine, the more dramatic exterior styling, 19-inch alloys, panoramic sunroof standard across the range, ventilated seats on the LT, head-up display on the LT, and a sharper chassis tune. The LT adds ventilated front seats with massage function on the driver's side, ambient lighting with 64 colour options, and a 12-speaker Infinity audio system. First-generation Jolion GT launched in South Africa in 2024. First generation, sharing platform fundamentals with the regular Jolion but with bodywork, suspension calibration, powertrain and cabin treatment differentiated to position as a halo product within the Haval lineup. Combined output 135 kW (LS) or 150 kW (LT), 340-380 Nm depending on variant. Two variants — 2.0T Hybrid LS at R579,900 (entry-level with full safety pack, panoramic sunroof, synthetic leather) and 2.0T Hybrid LT at R629,900 (flagship with 14.6-inch screen, head-up display, ventilated seats with massage, 12-speaker audio). The 19-inch alloys transmit some road noise on rough surfaces but parking and turning are easy thanks to light steering, sharp turning circle and 360-camera standard on both variants. For a buyer searching the Jolion GT price and specifications in South Africa, the interesting part is the trade-off rather than the feature count. Hybrid power describes the opportunity; engine of 2-litre Turbocharged Petrol Hybrid and a power output of 135 kW @ 5500 rpm describe the conditions around it. Jolion GT is discontinued in South Africa, so a used example should be judged by condition, service history, parts support and remaining cover rather than a new-car price promise

Where the GWM Jolion GT Fits Best

A practical view of the buyer and roads this model is best suited to.

Who buys this

The pitch is straightforward — give Haval-curious South African buyers a more emotionally engaging compact SUV without pushing into Tucson or Sportage flagship money. A shopper researching Jolion GT should separate need from showroom appeal. If Hybrid power solves a problem every week, it deserves real consideration

City
The chassis is sharper — firmer damping, larger anti-roll bars, more direct steering — which makes it more rewarding on a twisty Mountain Road but slightly less compliant on broken urban surfaces. Around town, Jolion GT should be judged by repetition rather than a single burst of acceleration. The relevance of a Front Wheel Drive drivetrain becomes obvious on a busy weekday, while a front-wheel drive drivetrain is worth checking before a purchase built around tight parking or frequent loading
Highway
On a South African freeway or inter-city road, take the Jolion GT out with the load it normally carries. Engine of 2-litre Turbocharged Petrol Hybrid gives context, but a number cannot show how a power output of 135 kW @ 5500 rpm feels on a gradient. For highway buyers, the Jolion GT needs to make sense when passengers, luggage or work equipment are aboard. Check how it tracks on uneven tar, how the transmission responds after a downshift and whether the boot or load area remains usable for Jolion GT. The 2024 model year helps frame the vehicle’s intended workload; do not assume that a larger body automatically brings more reserve or comfort for Jolion GT
Off-Road
If the Jolion GT will leave smooth tar, test the actual road rather than the image around it. The rough-road question has to be answered by hardware for Jolion GT. On a known gravel or farm access section, inspect clearance, tyre sidewalls, underbody exposure, approach angles and recovery access for Jolion GT. A power output of 150 kW @ 5500 rpm may help, but neither a tall bonnet nor hybrid alone creates four-wheel drive, low range or a published wading ability for Jolion GT. Keep the speed and route within what the exact local derivative can support for Jolion GT

GWM Jolion GT — Should You Buy It?

Not yet rated: no complete Hagalu editorial review is published for this model range. The buyer guidance below is not a scored review.

A used-buying option only when condition, history and remaining support justify the price.

For buyers prioritising comfort, the regular Jolion Hybrid LT is probably the better daily car; for buyers wanting visual presence and stronger performance, the GT earns its premium. Jolion GT is easiest to recommend when the buyer can point to a concrete benefit in Hybrid power and accept the limitation represented by a DHT Hybrid Transmission transmission. A fair review of Jolion GT should end with the owner’s route, not a universal verdict. The combination of towing capacity of 1500, a listed ground clearance of 185 and a power output of 150 kW @ 5500 rpm can be valuable for the right driver for Jolion GT. The same package may feel expensive or inconvenient if the vehicle spends its life in a different role for Jolion GT. Drive the exact version loaded as it will be used, then read the service, warranty, tyre and insurance costs beside the purchase price for Jolion GT
