2024 GWM Haval Jolion Summary

The new GWM Haval Jolion Lux sits second from the bottom in the Jolion line-up but offers a longer features list than most of its competitors. A boast that stands it in good stead from the outset.

But the question is how do those features perform in the real world? In this review we unpack how the new Jolion handles urban life.

2026 Chery C5 Summary

Chery is continuing to build out its SUV line-up in Australia, and the C5 slots in below the larger Tiggo 7 and 8 models. Now, there’s a new hybrid option joining the C5 line-up.

The C5 Hybrid Urban is a small SUV with plenty of standard equipment, hybrid power and a price that might make some of its rivals a little nervous. But is it actually any good? I’ve spent a week behind the wheel to find out for you.

Verdict

The GWM Haval Jolion Lux offers affordability in a modern, attractive package. However, the execution of some of its features isn’t always convincing. So yes, it’s sharply priced but it also feels underdone in some respects which doesn’t necessarily equate to value. But if affordability is at the top of your priority list and one or two shortcomings doesn't mean the end of the world, this could be the urban SUV you're looking for.

Verdict

The Chery C5 Hybrid Urban does manage to be cheap and cheerful for some things and it should tick some boxes for those wanting premium features and good fuel economy without breaking the bank. However, it’s ride, handling and tech didn’t convince me.

For someone who prioritises price, features and fuel economy above all else, the C5 Hybrid Urban could make a lot more sense.
