2019 Haval H2 Summary

Brand Finance self-effacingly describes itself as "the world's leading independent branded business valuation and strategy consultancy". And adds that it regularly picks apart the current and future value of more than 3500 brands across multiple market sectors around the world.

These London-based boffins reckon Delta trumps American Airlines, Real Madrid has knocked off Manchester United, and Haval is a more powerful SUV brand than Land Rover or Jeep. So, no surprise Haval promotes the research on its Australian website.

Just to split hairs, Land Rover leaps to the top of the rankings when it comes to overall value, but in terms of an upward trajectory and potential for future growth, Brand Finance says Haval is the one.

The irony is you probably wouldn't know a Haval if it ran into you, which obviously isn't good in any sense, but a factor of the Chinese Great Wall subsidiary's relatively brief time, and so far, limited sales in the Australian market.

One of three models released in late 2015 to launch the Haval brand locally, the H2 is a small, five-seat SUV competing against a hot bed of more than 20 established players including the segment-leading Mitsubishi ASX, ever-popular Mazda CX-3, and recently arrived Hyundai Kona.

So, is Haval's potential reflected in its current product offering? We spent a week living with the sharply priced H2 City to find out.

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.
