2024 GWM Haval Jolion Summary

If there is one word that should be at the very top of the GWM Haval Jolion Hybrid’s brochure, it is value, value, value.

Well, that's three words. But you get the idea.

This is the just-updated flagship version, and it gets tons of premium-style goodies, and it’s less than $40k drive-away. The cheapest one is under $33k on the road.

And with Japanese hybrid prices only heading one way — up — that makes this Chinese SUV something of a bargain.

The question is, does it have more to offer than just kindness on your bank account? Or to put it another way, is it both cheap and cheerful, or too much of one and not enough of the other?

There’s only one way to find out. So stick around as we take a closer look at the GWM Haval Jolion HEV Ultra.

2025 Mahindra XUV700 Summary

I know you’re hearing a lot about the new Chinese brands coming to Australia, but why isn’t anyone talking about India?

I mean sure, Mahindra isn’t new to the country, but you can’t deny it has undergone a pretty serious glow-up, with the brand determined to become a fully fledged player in our new-car scene.

Leading the charge is the XUV700, with this new feature-packed Black Edition taking the fight to Chinese brands like Chery.

It has sharp styling, seven seats, plenty of tech and safety and a price tag of less than $44K, drive-away.

So, does it deserve a place on your consideration list?
