The GWM Haval Jolion Max is due in Australia in early 2027 as a front-wheel-drive mid-size SUV with both electric and plug-in hybrid versions, after being delayed from a late-2026 launch. GWM has now shown the vehicle to Australian media, but pricing has not been announced.
The company says the Jolion Max will arrive in the first quarter of 2027 and will be priced somewhere between the current Haval Jolion and the Haval H6. It is expected in Lux and Ultra grades, in front-wheel drive only. For today’s Jolion and H6 pricing, see our GWM range guide.
Electric and plug-in hybrid
GWM says the electric Jolion Max will use a 58 kWh battery, similar in size to the Ora 5 pack, and quotes about 400 km of driving range. The exact motor output for Australia has not been confirmed.
The plug-in hybrid is described as pairing a 110 kW 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with a 130 kW electric motor and a battery of about 19 kWh, for around 100 km of electric running. Combined output is listed at 240 kW in Australian Government documents. Treat the battery size, electric range and “about 400 km” EV figure as GWM’s current guidance until official local specifications are published.
Where it sits in the range
The Jolion Max is larger than today’s Haval Jolion and is aimed at young families who want a more affordable mid-size SUV than the H6 or the boxier Haval H7. Together with the Ora 5 Plus, also due in early 2027, it will widen GWM’s mid-size SUV offering alongside the H6, H6 GT and H7.
