When Great Wall Motors’ (GWM) best-selling SUV, the Haval H6, was spotted in Malaysia, another SUV was spotted alongside it. On Haval’s global site, the SUV is listed as the Haval Jolion.

The Jolion was spotted in a non-descript location in Shah Alam. GWM's new local representative will make an announcement soon on the fate of the Haval Jolion, but as of yet, there is still no mention of how much the Jolion will cost.

At first glance, you might easily mistake the Jolion for the Haval H6 because of its largely similar silhouette. The Jolion looks large but it is actually smaller than it looks, the SUV measures 138 mm shorter than the H6.

If you're wondering why does Haval have 2 similar sized SUVs on sale, that's because in China, the Jolion competes with lower priced models like the Geely Boyue (Proton X70). Meanwhile, the H6 competes in a higher-priced segment of SUVs like the Honda CR-V. 

Like all its new GWM siblings and cousins, the Jolion is built on the company’s new L.E.M.O.N platform. 

Power comes from a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that produces 152 PS and 220 Nm. Drive is sent to its front wheels only via a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed DCT.

Based on the Aussie website, the Jolion will come fitted with either a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment display for most of its variant, while the range-topper will get a 12.3-inch touchscreen instead. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard.

So which SUV would you prefer? The Haval Jolion or the Haval H6?
