Interior changes in the new Jolion Pro appear minimal and the engine line-up carries over as before, with regular versions sporting the familiar 1.5-litre turbopetrol engine that pushes 105kW and 210Nm, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox as standard.
As before, the S version gets a perkier 1.5T motor, offering 130kW and 270Nm, while the HEV (hybrid) is good for 140kW and 375Nm. Interestingly this hybrid model is R33,000 cheaper than the outgoing version.

The cheapest Jolion Pro, the 1.5T Premium, ships with 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth seat upholstery, manual air conditioning, multi-function steering wheel, push-button start, cruise control and a touchscreen infotainment system with reverse camera.
