Haval Jolion turned out to be quite popular in our country. The crossover entered the Top 25 most popular models in Russia, according to the Association of European Businesses (AEB). It seems that the Chinese are doing well, but the potential bestseller of the market is increasingly finding minor flaws and serious flaws. About the most critical, tells the AvtoVzglyad portal.
From January to June 2022, our citizens bought 5,296 Jolions, which is 4,274 crossovers more than last year. An undeniable success! Especially against the background of declining sales for other models. But wait run to the dealers. Chinese (where the car is called Chulian) and Russian motorists say that they are increasingly finding various shortcomings in the car.
And the smell!
In new cars, for example, a chemical smell can be clearly felt in the cabin. The reasons are still a mystery. However, citizens of the two countries suggest that when mounting a crossover, the Chinese overdo it with anti-corrosion treatment of the body. This gives it its characteristic taste. About also smelled freshly treated with anti-corrosion “Zhiguli” just left the garage service. However, such odors from childhood already irritate many. In addition, the stench is very difficult to remove. Even expensive car chemicals don’t help.
The character is nasty, Nordic
As for the power unit, then everything is not so simple. Under the hood of the Jolyon is a 1.5 liter supercharged engine, which is well known to our customers. Although there are no special technical issues with him, he is extremely voracious. The owners write that in the city the engine willingly “eats” more than 15 liters per hundred (according to the passport 10.4 liters), which is not good for a compact crossover aimed at Crete competitors.
We also remember that the head of the block and the block itself with the engine are made of aluminum. That is, he is very afraid of overheating. And there are no hydraulic valve lifters, that is, for long runs, valve adjustment is required.
A robot transmission is attached to the motor, which is not very well synchronized with it. From this, there are often characteristic shocks when downshifting. But every jerk, at least a little, but reduces the life of the box. Yes, and in passport gear to hundreds in 9.8 seconds. many owners are skeptical. At a sharp gas pressure, the delay reaches two seconds! But this can already end in an emergency, for example when overtaking. There are many complaints about slow dynamics from Chinese comrades who do not suffer from a passion for racing. They complain that such behavior interferes with normal climbing on mountain twisters.
Miscalculations in ergonomics
The Chinese have invested quite a bit of money in the modular LEMON platform, but they haven’t adjusted the handlebars for range. For this, the car is criticized by tall drivers. In China they don’t talk about it at all, because the people there are usually below average height.
Finally, here are a few more claims from those who took the risk of buying this car. A number of touch buttons, which are located below the display, are absolutely not visible during the day and the transmission control ring is too tight. Not always the first time you can “step” into the mode you want. For example, instead of D, the selector jumps to M. If we sum up all these customer complaints, we conclude that the car came out raw. So, if you get to know her, then only in carsharing. But for yourself it is better to buy something interesting.
