Locally assembled Haval Jolion was officially launched today in an event in Lahore. This is a C-segment crossover SUV with a price tag of Rs. 8.3 million. Sazgar Engineering earlier launched the imported units of this car, and now they have released this one. Interestingly, it has additional heated seats, a feature in the local variant. The arrival of this vehicle will surely increase the competition in the already tough crossover SUV segment, and that is why we are comparing it to the Changan Oshan X7, another relatively new addition to this segment. 

This comparison is between Haval Jolion and Oshan X7 FutureSense, a top-of-the-line variant by Changan.

The crossover by Sazgar is 4472mm long, 1814 wide, and 1619mm high with a 2700mm wheelbase and 212mm ground clearance. In comparison, X7 is 4730mm in length, 1870mm in width, and 1720mm in height with a 2786mm wheelbase and 200mm ground clearance.
