Haval Jolion 2026 Falls Short of Full Marks in Global NCAP Crash Tests

The Haval Jolion 2026 has fallen short of a full safety rating in Global NCAP crash tests, with the official report revealing the absence of standard side head airbags. Crash speeds reached 64 km/h. Not a perfect score.

Crash Test Details for Haval Jolion

The standard version underwent a series of demanding tests, starting with a driver-side frontal offset crash at 64 km/h, followed by a full-width frontal impact at 50 km/h. Side tests followed.

These included a side impact with a moving barrier at 50 km/h, a side pole impact at 32 km/s, and seat rebound tests at 16 and 24 km/h. A full protocol from the global program.

Adult Protection: Good Results with Caveats

The final report showed that the Jolion provided good protection for the head, neck, and chest in the frontal crash. Knee protection was marginal.

In the moving barrier side test, the car recorded good occupant protection, but the program did not conduct the side pole test because the vehicle lacks standard side head airbags. A clear equipment gap.

One advantage for Haval: electronic stability control (ESC) is standard and meets Global NCAP requirements. A point for the Chinese brand.

Child Protection: Only Three Stars

For child occupant protection, dynamic test results showed that both child dummies received full protection. The dynamic test alone wasn't enough.

The lack of proper warning labels and the absence of a front passenger airbag disabling switch led to a three-star rating in child protection. Small details made the difference.

Haval prices in the Egyptian market remain a key draw for the model, but these safety results may make some buyers think twice. Safety first.
