Haval Jolion vs Haval H6 - Which one to pick?

As one after another SUVs make their way into the Pakistani market, people are somewhat spoilt for choice. One manufacturer that's bringing quality affordable SUVs to Pakistan is Haval, a subsidiary of a large Chinese automotive group called Great Wall Motors (GWM).

In collaboration with Pakistan's Sazgar Engineering Works Limited (SEWL), Haval has announced to bring the H6 and the Haval Jolion to local markets. With one manufacturer bringing two SUVs into the market, customers can feel indecisive as to what is the better deal.

Haval specializes in manufacturing and selling SUVs. Its entire lineup consists of only subcompact, compact, midsize, and full-size SUVs. Then what's the difference between the H6 and Haval Jolion? By looks alone, H6 is on the bulkier side.

Exterior Design

Haval H6

Pakistan will receive the 3rd generation Haval H6 — a boxy SUV with modern-looking pair of dual projector headlamps, a huge chrome-mesh grille, a simple but cutting-edge bumper design, and a squared-off front fascia.

The side profile of the vehicle is fairly smooth and simple with body-colored side mirrors and door handles. The back end is more rounded off with a single light bar and modern LED taillights. The small rear windshield, the taillight design, and the smooth overall design make it look sporty.

The cabin design is just as curt and clean and futuristic. On the inside with its screens, dials, buttons, and panels, and the steering has a 3-spoke design. H6 has a boot space of 600 liters. The rear seats can also be folded down to provide a large loading area of 1,485 liters to place larger items in the back.

Haval Jolion

The Haval Jolion has a front fascia consists of a similar chromed mesh grille, modern-looking headlamps LED headlights, turn signals, and sharp-looking DRLs that extend further down into the bumper forming a boomerang-shaped pattern.

The bottom portion of the DRLs is surrounded by non-functional air vents. Its door handles and the door mirrors match the color of the body. In the back, the tailgate design slopes slightly downwards and then sharply vertical. Meanwhile, the bottom portion of the bumper is a hodgepodge of chrome, silver, and matte black trim pieces.

On the inside, Jolion has a two-step dash layout. The all-digital head unit display (HUD) offers a more modern driving experience. The boot space is 337 liters and with the rear seats folded down, the luggage space increases to a hair over 1,100 liters.
