The 2023 GWM Haval Jolion range of configurations is currently priced from $12,999.
Our most recent review of the 2023 GWM Haval Jolion resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Deputy News Editor Tom White had this to say at the time: So, where does all this leave our Jolion Ultra Hybrid? On the whole I’m very impressed with it, especially considering where this brand was a few years ago. And if it was my actual car I don’t think I’d be disappointed with it several months and a few thousand kilometres in.

The 2023 GWM Haval Jolion carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The GWM Haval Jolion 2023 prices range from $14,850 for the basic trim level SUV Premium to $26,840 for the top of the range SUV Ultra Hybrid.
The Jolion can be chosen in an array of colours, however some colours are restricted to certain grades. The entry-level cars can be chosen in white, black, blue, red, grey and green, while the hybrid trades out the green shade for an additional blue shade.
A new-car warranty spells out pretty clearly that any skipped services can jeopardise a warranty claim should something go wrong that might have been avoided with the recommended servicing. So I think you’re on pretty shaky ground with this one.
One thing you could do is go beyond the dealership and could contact Haval’s Australian customer service division and plead your case. But technically, a skipped major service on something like a transmission is very likely to be grounds for denying any warranty claim.
The exception might be if the car was recalled to fix an inherent transmission problem or fault. However, I can find no reference to such a recall on your make and model.

You’ve hit the nail on the head when you confirm that the vehicle is still within its warranty period (provided the vehicle has been serviced correctly). That means you need to make this Haval’s problem and not yours.
There are many, many things that can cause a transmission to behave like this, starting with low fluid level and ending with complete catastrophic failure. But if you ignore this problem, it could easily morph into a bigger, even more expensive fault. Take the car to the dealership you bought it from and give the service manager the full run-down on what’s going on and when. From there, it should be possible for Haval to identify the cause and fix it as a warranty issue.
Even if it’s not fixed immediately, the fact that you’ve reported it to Haval means it’s then a pre-existing condition and remains a warranty issue even if the warranty was to run out in the meantime.

GWM is unlikely to replace your hybrid battery, because under the terms and conditions, the car is now out of factory warranty. The problem is that the car has been used as a ride-share vehicle, at which point GWM’s factory warranty drops from eight years and unlimited kilometres to eight years and 150,000km. So, on the basis of distance travelled and the car being used for ride-share duties, you’re around 20,000km over the warranty limit.
You can certainly contact GWM’s Australian customer service department and plead your case, but on the face of it, your car is out of warranty and GWM has no obligation to help with repairs or costs.

The Jolion has a minimalistic interior deisgn, which relies heavily on screens for interactivity. Trim is available in either cloth or synthetic leather depending on grade.
Standard equipment on the Jolion range includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10.25-inch multimedia screen, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, reversing camera, adaptive cruise control, halogen headlights, and cloth interior trim. Higher grades score larger wheels, a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, head-up display, LED headlights, and a sunroof.

All Haval Jolions have a 430-litre boot space, impressive for the class, except for the hybrid variants, which reduce boot capacity to 390L.
The Jolion is offered with a choice of three engines, a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine producing 110kW/220Nm mated to a seven-speed dual clutch automatic, an up-tuned 1.5-litre engine producing 130kW/270Nm also mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, or a hybridised version of the 1.5-litre engine, which works in tandem with an electric motor to produce combined outputs of 139kW/375Nm. All Jolions are front-wheel drive only.
The Haval Jolion is strictly a five-seater with either cloth or synthetic leather interior trim depending on grade.
The base Haval Jolion can sprint from 0-100km/h in 9.4 seconds. Expect a top speed of around 185km/h.
Expect combustion versions of the Jolion to travel around 821km on a single 55L tank of fuel, while the hybrid versions can theoretically travel up to 1833km on a single tank.
