Haval Chulian

Chulian in brief

The Chulian is a compact crossover from Great Wall Motors (GWM) that was first shown in October 2020 at the Beijing Motor Show as the successor to the Haval H2. The name “Chulian” translates to “first love”. In export markets, this car is known as the Haval Jolion.

In China, the Chulian was sold for only a short time — sales ended in 2021 — and then it remained solely an export model. Therefore, you’ll find this Chinese-made car listed as the Chulian in advertisements.

Chulian vs Jolion — what’s the difference?

Technically, it’s the same car, built on the L.E.M.O.N. platform. The name differs only by market: Chulian in China, Jolion elsewhere. So, all information about Jolion engines and equipment applies to the Chulian.

Export versions often have different trim levels, badges, and some equipment, so when buying a car intended for the Chinese market, check if it meets European standards.

Engine and transmission

The Chulian comes with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that produces around 150 hp (110 kW) and 220 Nm. The engine works with a 7-speed dual-clutch (DCT) gearbox, with front-wheel drive.

The hybrid version was first introduced in Thailand as the Jolion, not in China.

What to check when buying a used Chulian

First, check if the car meets European standards and if parts are available. There's no official representative in Lithuania, so some body parts or lights might be hard to find.

Test the operation of the DCT gearbox, the condition of the turbocharger, and the electronics — the large screen, cameras, and driver-assistance systems. Check if the language and navigation are suited to Europe.

Trim levels

Chinese trim names vary by year and market; we describe the base version.

Comparison of Chulian versions

The Chulian makes for a modern compact crossover, but first and foremost, you'll need to ensure it meets European standards and that parts are readily available.
