One of Haval's most popular cars in South Africa will get a safety upgrade after 2-star crash test

GWM South Africa will upgrade its entry-level Haval Jolion with curtain airbags after its current model scored two stars in adult occupant protection in the Global New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP).

On Wednesday, the Automobile Association of South Africa revealed the Jolion was one of two models it sent for recent crash tests in Germany as part of its #SaferCarsForAfrica campaign.

So they wouldn't have bothered with the safety upgrade if the tests weren't done. Shameless...

Of course not, why would they?

Money talks.

Now do the Chery Tiggo 4 next. A new car with only two airbags as standard is a disgrace.

Tons of cars only come with 2 airbags as standard, tons

Technically one car is also about a metric ton but yeah, doesn't change the fact that it is a disgraceful money-grabbing scheme at the expense of driver and passenger safety.
