In a significant automotive development, the locally assembled Haval Jolion has been officially launched in Lahore, marking its entry into the competitive C-segment crossover SUV market in Pakistan.

Priced at Rs. 8.3 million, this homegrown offering by Sazgar Engineering has already stirred excitement among car enthusiasts. What’s particularly intriguing is the inclusion of heated seats, a feature unique to the local variant.

This release intensifies the rivalry in an already fiercely contested segment, bringing the spotlight to the comparison between the Haval Jolion and the Changan Oshan X7 FutureSense, a top-of-the-line variant.

The Oshan X7 matches this with its own 1500cc turbocharged 4-cylinder Inline DOHC engine, but it delivers a more robust 185hp and 300Nm of torque. Both vehicles boast a top speed of 220 km/h and come with a 7-speed automatic DCT transmission.
