Haval Jolion vs. Honda HR-V: A Rs. 6 Million Debate

In Pakistan, the spark of the Honda HR-V is fading with each passing day. The SUV has a rather small number of features, to begin with, and its performance is far from stellar.

To top it off, the SUV has a price tag of about Rs. 6 million, which is within the range of numerous more alluring extras. Additionally, Honda Atlas Cars Limited (HACL) has delayed the HR-arrival V's until July 2023, which has lessened the anticipation even more.

Haval Jolion is a tiny crossover SUV that is one of the HR-main V's rivals and looks good on paper. The two SUVs will be compared in this article to see which is the better bargain.

Exterior

HR-V

Honda HR-V has a somber appearance. The tall front fascia sports a distinctive front grille, a pushed-up hood, and angular headlamps. The daytime running lights (DRLs) are similarly svelte and fashionable and enhance the clean appearance of the vehicle.

The side is similarly simple and smooth. The HR-V in Pakistan receives 17-inch alloy rims that are simple yet functional. A forward-leaning rear windscreen, a center trim, and a rear LED light strip give the vehicle an appealing appearance.

Jolion

Most people agree that Haval Jolion is one of Pakistan's most eye-catching crossover SUVs.

Large chrome mesh grille, contemporary LED headlights, turn signals, and DRLs affixed to the bumper sides in a boomerang design complete the front fascia.

Most people agree that Haval Jolion is one of Pakistan's most eye-catching crossover SUVs.

 

A large chrome mesh grille, LED headlights that seem contemporary, turn signals, and DRLs that are affixed to the bumper sides in a boomerang design complete the front fascia.

Although the side is primarily plain, the body-colored door handles, one crisp character line, chromed side-impact strips, a chromed trim piece enclosing the A, B, and C pillars, and contemporary alloy wheels give it a luxury appeal.

 

With the exception of the location of a few chrome and black panels and the taillight design, the rear resembles the back of most SUVs. Overall, Jolion is an eye-catching crossover SUV with a distinctive appearance.

Interior

HR-V

The inside of the HR-V is not very impressive. The interior has a simple dashboard design with silver trim elements in the cabin, ambient lighting, and contemporary dials.

The latest model of HR-V is roomier and bigger than the gen-2 version, making it a useful and pleasant family transporter.

Jolion

The Jolion's interior is sleek but uncomplicated. The two-step dash design and the premium-feeling materials give the SUV a high-end appearance.

The all-digital head unit display (HUD) is more cutting edge than its rivals, and the steering wheel features a futuristic 3-spoke design. The Jolion has lots of cabin room, enough to accommodate five passengers. Haval Jolion provides adequate comfort and functionality overall.

Dimensions

Despite being in a different category, the HR-V is about the same size as the Jolion. However, Jolion weighs a lot more than the HR-V. These are the measurements:

Performance

HR-V

Two variations of HR-V exist. Both vehicles feature a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated gasoline engine that uses a CVT automatic transmission to deliver 119 horsepower (hp) and 145 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque to the front wheels.

 

It has torsion bar coil springs in the back and McPherson struts up front. In order to provide adequate stopping power, it is also equipped with disc brakes on all four wheels that have the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), and Brake Assist (BA) technologies.

 

According to a number of foreign forums, the HR-V has a 13 liters per kilometer fuel economy. Actual statistics, however, could be lower due to Pakistan's poor fuel quality, poor road conditions, and heavy traffic.

Jolion

A 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 145 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque is the only available engine for the Jolion. A 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission exclusively sends power to the front wheels.

The SUV uses torsion bar coil-spring suspension at the back and McPherson struts up front. It sports disc brakes for strong stopping power on all four wheels, along with ABS, EBD, and BA technology.

According to a number of foreign automotive news sources, the fuel efficiency is about 12.3 kilometers per liter. However, the real fuel efficiency ought to be lower considering Jolion's size and weight.

Opinion

In this comparison, the HR-V lags behind its rival in terms of features, performance, and to some extent, appearance. Honda's brand value is the sole advantage it has over the new SUVs, and this may not be enough for SUV purchasers who desire cutting-edge technology and potent performance.
