This is the new GWM Haval Jolion Vs Mazda CX-3 comparison for 2024. The more we review and drive the CX-3 we understand why it is a very popular choice despite its age. The Haval Jolion has been around for a for a few years and scored an interior update this year. It appears on our comparison radar due to its affordable prices. So how does the CX-3 compare to the GWM Jolion and which one is worth buying.
GWM Haval Jolion Vs Mazda CX-3 exterior comparison: The Jolion is designed to standout but also deliberately uglified for signal to all what you are driving and the class of vehicle you are driving. If you do care even a little about design than the CX-3 is the better looking SUV to buy. We don’t think any more needs to be said…
GWM Haval Jolion Vs Mazda CX-3 interior comparison: The Jolion interior is initially great to look at and acceptable in size. It is a modern design with multiple screen for an upmarket look. Unfortunately the materials are hard and thin – hard plastics and thin vinyl or leather that tries hard to look like the real thing. That said they hard plastic do look good as hard plastic go. In comparison the smaller interior of the CX-3 is as stylish as any other Mazda interior that looks good but it is a 10 year old design and looks it. The materials are hard plastics in many areas but they are of higher quality and it honestly feels like a more solid car.
GWM Haval Jolion Vs Mazda CX-3 engine and technology comparison: The CX-3 has had a variety of engine options including a diesel version it’s long life. The most popular is the 2.0 petrol version. In comparison the Jolion currently has a variety of engines including a oddly inefficient hybrid despite claimed figures. Hybrids are pointless tech if there are no real fuel savings. Both features differ according to model grade and the best feature belongs to the CX-3 with a Bose system.
The conclusion and winner of the GWM Haval Jolion Vs Mazda CX-3 comparison is the CX-3. The CX-3 is the winner of this comparison for a number of important reasons. Firstly, Good driving dynamics of the CX-3 don’t age and it is the best driving and driver feel and arguably handling small SUV on sale. Secondly, genuine fuel efficiency is hard to replicate in the real world and the CX-3 fuel consumption is close as advertised. Third, we like lots of screens but hard instruments have a higher level of class than fully digital displays and the Jolion just feels too ‘thin’. Fourth reason is that the CX-3 is priced around the official list price of the Jolion. The Haval Jolion sells on price but you can get them even cheaper as they have plenty to get rid of.
