How durable is the paint, body‑panel finish and sealing of the Jolion under Pakistan’s conditions?

Exterior cosmetic and structural durability is often overlooked until visible deterioration occurs. For the Jolion in Pakistan, what are the observed issues with the paint‑quality e.g., chipping, blistering under sun/heat, body panels fitment gaps, panel alignment, and sealing around doors/windows leading to wind noise o r water ingress? For example, some owners have reported peeling o r bubbling paint on the bonnet.

What inspection should a prospective buyer perform to check for these exterior quality aspects e.g., check panel gaps in the sun, inspect lower panels for stone‑chip damage, examine rubber seals for brittleness?

Several owners have complained about paint finish issues, for example a user wrote:

“After the first wash, I noticed a bit of paint had come off the bonnet… like the paint quality isn’t as durable as my KIA.”

The cause is likely a combination of thinner paint / protective clear‑coat and harsh environmental exposure strong sun, dust, gravel, stone‑chips in Pakistan.

The review site notes “water leaks … near doors and windshields … due to inadequate door sealing and manufacturing defects in body panels”.

While those are interior/exterior interface issues, they reflect panel‑fit & sealing quality which also affects exterior durability wind‑noise, water ingress.

Take‑away for Pakistan: The paint and panel finishing of the Jolion seem adequate but less robust than some higher‑price competitors under harsh conditions. If you’re buying used: check for paint‑chip damage especially on bonnet/low panels, check for fading/blistering in sun‑exposed spots, inspect door/window seals for gaps o r wear.

If you plan to keep the car long‑term o r frequently drive on rough/gravel roads, budgeting for paint touch‑up / panel repair might be wise.
