Great Wall Motor (GWM) highlighted two key advantages of its latest the Haval Jolion, hybrid SUV. According to GWM Indonesia Marketing Director Hari Arifianto, the Haval Jolion stands out with its exceptional safety rating. It has achieved a prestigious five-star rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), underscoring its robust safety features and crashworthiness. Hari emphasized, “Jolion’s five-star ANCAP rating reinforces our steadfast commitment to safety,” during the event held in Jakarta on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.
Leading Hybrid Technology and Market Positioning
Positioned in the competitive B segment SUV market alongside popular models like the Honda HR-V, the Haval Jolion distinguishes itself with its advanced hybrid system. Hari Arifianto proudly announced, “The hybrid technology integrated into the Jolion represents GWM’s cutting-edge innovation.” This hybrid setup includes a powerful combination of a 1,500 cc turbo petrol engine generating 156 horsepower, coupled with a DHT115 BorgWarner permanent magnet synchronous electric motor of equal power. The synergy of these components is enhanced by a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) and a 1.6 kWh Lithium-ion battery, making the Jolion a standout performer in its class.
Showcased Excellence at GIIAS and Future Prospects
Having debuted at the 2023 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), the Haval Jolion garnered significant attention for its technological prowess and design. Hari Arifianto confirmed that the Jolion will once again take center stage at GIIAS 2024, where it is expected to attract even more interest and admiration from automotive enthusiasts. Despite the official price tag still pending, GWM anticipates the Jolion to become a top-selling product, or what they term a “volume maker,” in Indonesia’s SUV market.
Affordability and Local Production Advantage
Emphasizing accessibility, Hari Arifianto highlighted the affordability of the Haval Jolion, attributing it to local assembly at GWM’s Wanaherang factory. This strategic move not only aims to keep costs competitive but also supports the local economy by creating jobs and fostering manufacturing expertise within Indonesia. To facilitate ownership, GWM has introduced a pre-order scheme requiring only IDR 10 million, making the Jolion an enticing option for prospective buyers looking to invest in a hybrid SUV.
