Can Haval Challenge Toyota This Year?

The 2025 Haval Jolion Steps Up Against the SUV Kingpins


The Battle of 2025:Haval vs Toyota

With the arrival of the Jolion 2025, Chinese automaker Great Wall Motors (GWM) is not just aiming at the compact SUV segment — it’s aiming directly at Toyota’s stronghold, including models like the Urban Cruiser Taisor, Hyryder, and even the Toyota Corolla Cross in global markets.

But the real question is:

Can a rising Chinese SUV brand challenge a legend like Toyota in 2025?
