2022 Honda HR-V Summary

Honda Australia has gone through a bit of a transformation in recent years, shedding its top-10 sales ambitions for a new approach that focuses on slimming down the range with high-spec grades.

The first new-gen model to launch with that approach was last year’s Civic, but it’s the latest launch, the HR-V, which might make or break Honda’s new strategy.

And that’s because the HR-V is a small SUV – playing a space dominated by Toyota, Mazda and Kia – that also offers up a so-hot-right-now hybrid powertrain for the first time in Australia.

No doubt, the HR-V will prove more popular than the Civic in sales as the market shifts preferences, but is it any good?

This is all you need to know about the 2022 Honda HR-V.

2023 GWM Haval Jolion Summary

The Haval Jolion. You’re reading this review because you’ve seen increasing numbers of these on the road, and you’ve probably noticed how relatively affordable they are.

It helps that the Jolion seems to be in ready supply, so unlike some of its more established rivals, you probably won’t have to wait six months for delivery.

What you’re wondering then is if it’s all too good to be true. Should you buy this Chinese SUV over its most direct MG ZST rival, or is it worth paying more and potentially waiting months for delivery of one of its Japanese or Korean rivals?

Read on to find out.
