Despite increasingly tough competition, the… GWM Haval Jolion goes into 2026 with very few changes.
For the 2025 model year it received a major update and introduced models in a “new form” with a hybrid drive as well as the flagship Ultra variant, which adopted the new design and brought a new pure petrol engine with higher power.
Now the Ultra trim levels have been discontinued and replaced with new, darkened models It’s bragging Variants. These have mostly the same equipment as the Ultra models, which are currently being phased out, including the choice between pure petrol or hybrid power.
Otherwise, there were slight design changes to the “old” models, which included a revised headlight profile and a slightly massaged rear with a more rounded design.

You can distinguish the Vanta variants by the use of a black grille, rear roof spoiler, wheels and other various exterior design elements, as well as gunmetal-finish plastic parts inside, particularly on the steering wheel.
The “New Shape” models otherwise remain unchanged and retain their sportier look from before.
The rest of the Jolion’s interior is largely unchanged. However, there was a small graphical update to the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were also introduced alongside wired connectivity.
Prices across the entire Jolion range are also currently reduced by up to $4,000 depending on variant, although prices will revert to normal nationwide drive-away prices from January 1, 2026.
