The Sorento/Santa Fe are larger. The Jolion is closer to a Sportage/Tucson
We are lucky in Australia to have big variety of cars creating healthy competition in favor of customers.
It’s your money and should be yours too.
Or… unlucky in australia to have such a big variety of cars, creating low spares stocks and high prices with lengthy repair delays….
I had a Hyundai DCT vehicle. Required a clutch and flywheel change at 165,000km as it was rattling at idle and was on the brink of failure.

I'm now driving a traditional automatic. Yes, they can break in fun and expensive ways too, but I would rather a traditional automatic.
As others said, need to compare today, last 5 years has been crazy. Your choice for $24k today is a new Jolion or 5yo base Rav 4 with 120k on the clock. https://www.redbook.com.au/cars/details/2019-toyota-rav4-gx-…
Rav4 will depreciate slower, but start to cost more to keep on the road as no fixed price servicing.
If you want compare new, then the RACQ reports give a better cost guide, but adjust for your own situation. https://www.racq.com.au/-/media/project/racqgroup/racq/artic…
Rav4 retains 63% of value after 5 years verses 38% with the Jolion, so a $46k Rav4 loses $17k and $24k Jolion $15k (the $24k Rav4 only loses $9k). But you need to consider loan costs too…
There is no way that you would be able to buy a used Jolion in 5 years with 2 years remaining warranty for 9k
That's based on the RACQ estimate. Market probably be flooded with Chinese SUVs about to go out of warranty. You decide!
Might even be less if they are no longer here, doubt market can sustain all the brands looking to come here, XPeng now…
I know what I can buy with 9k today from looking on FB marketplace and Carsales and I can guarantee there is nothing you could buy that would be 5 years old, under 100'ks that still has manufacturer warranty…. Not trying to be rude, but have you actually had a look at what 9K buys in today's market?
@urbancartel: True, but as per a lot of comments last 5 years have been crazy and not a good guide if looking forward 5 years. I bought a 5yo Kia Cerato ($24k new at the time) for $9k in 2018. Still have it, could probably get most of my $9k back!
@urbancartel: Had a look at 2019 - Base Haval H2 was $20k now worth about $10k - 50% loss
Base Toyota Rav4 was $32k ($46k in 2024!) now worth about $22k - 29% loss

@cooperdog: Yet there are no $10k H2's on Carsales or FB - just saying!!!
Even 2017 models are more than that…
38% remaining for 5 years?
It means you can buy a 2019 Haval H2 for 8K, no accident, maybe around 100k odometer.
Some Redbook prices are funny, if you try to buy a car on that price, you will be blocked by both dealer and private sellers on FB marketplace.
That interior looks great
The price of new cars is about to go under the hammer over the next few years as it corrects to pre-covid spending values, already it's moving in the right direction. As supply increases there will be downwards pressure on new car prices, and a flood of used cars that will in turn effect the grossly inflated used car price. When the Russia\Ukranian war ends it will ease the profiteering by energy cartels when they are forced to compete with Russia again, and the highly inflated shipping prices will also drop further dampening car values.
In effect, all the data from the last 5 years is skewed, and it's highly likely that data from the next 5 years will be equally skewed in a different way. Probably best to buy the car you want for the price you can afford at this stage, fortune tellers speaking about resell values in the future probably have limited insight.
Was looking at this brand last year as a cheap runaround so signed up to all the Facebook groups.
The biggest issues I've seen, the warranty while sounds good is a real screw around. The dealers are clueless when it comes to fixing these and the parts take 3-12months to arrive.
The obd codes are mostly not standard and poorly documented so errors can be near impossible to figure out. Stories of transmissions failing on the way home from dealer, than the car waiting a the dealer for a replacement for many months after.
The car loves to automatically slam on its brakes on the freeway or any road really when using cruise control. This is so dangerous, imagine if a truck is behind you…..
Finally, someone who gets what the GWM 'warranty' actually means.
the warranty while sounds good is a real screw around.
From my experience, this is true.
The dealers/service centres have no idea (or appetite) on how to fix anything.
Had an obvious issue with the reverse camera showing a black screen instead of behind the car, took months for them to finally bloody change the camera out.
Have one other issue, where a "Traffic sign information function fault" appears intermittently when first starting the car (could be every second day, or every third week). It quickly cycles out after flashing once after starting the car and disappears, to reappear again some time down the track when I start the car. Took video evidence of this to the service centre, they respond with "we couldn't observe the fault" blah blah….clowns.
Other than that, car is great, experienced no other issues in the few years we've owned it.

Wow this is amazingly cheap!
Does anyone know about this offering at WA? I could not find any dealershop sales this price. Only $1000 reduce from their driveway price.
Yer it is in WA
But why all dealer from WA(Western Australia) did not say anything about it and also when I searched all WA suburbs for GWM dealershop on internet, no one mention on the web site. (Only $1000 discount from the actual price).
wow that is so wrong I went in, but I was aware of the discount they did have them marked down cheaper.
Wonder if they don't control the websites, it could be controlled external went to the social media pages and some have the discounted price posted
Free 3 year servicing added to this deal til early December
Only for Hybrid models though…
it looks similar to Sorrento/Santa Fe, isn't it?
