Has the VV7 been discontinued?

VV7 is currently not discontinued. Below is detailed information about the VV7: 1. VV7 launch date: The WEY VV7 is a mid-size luxury SUV under the WEY brand of Great Wall Motors, launched on April 19, 2017. Since its inception, WEY has been committed to 'making luxury accessible,' and the VV7 is the pioneer in conveying 'contemporary Chinese luxury.' 2. Vehicle exterior: The 2020 VV7 retains the brand's signature 'leopard-inspired bionic' design elements while incorporating a swooping streamlined body design. The front grille, bumpers, and fog lights have been redesigned for a more dynamic look, with enhanced refinement in key areas to elevate sensory quality. The rear lights, high-mounted brake lights, and rear fog lights feature a vertical design with LED illumination. The sports car-style dual exhaust pipes, large-diameter bilateral chrome-plated exhaust design, and sporty exhaust tips ensure smoother breathing for the high-efficiency engine. Standard 20-inch tires are fitted, with an optional sporty 21-inch wheel and tire package. 3. Vehicle features: The new WEY VV7 has been upgraded in three main areas: safety features, comfort features, and smart connectivity. [18] The new model comes equipped with rear seatbelt reminder, intelligent cruise assist, door opening warning, lane centering, traffic speed limit reminder, active braking system with pedestrian/bicycle recognition, active noise cancellation (independent box), automatic high-beam switching, PM2.5 detection system, 4 tweeters + 4 woofers + 1 center + 1 subwoofer + 2 surround sound speakers, multi-mode electric power steering, wireless phone charging, 5V car power supply (sub-instrument panel), power outlet for dashcams, USB power socket, same 20-inch wheels as the WEY P8, QQ Music/Kaola FM, and more.

As a long-time fan of the WEY brand, I'm quite familiar with the discontinuation news of the VV7. This model was indeed phased out by Great Wall at the end of 2022, primarily due to their shift towards new energy strategy with the launch of the Mocha series. The WEY brand initially made its mark with the VV7, which featured luxury SUV design and attracted many users. However, its replacement models like the Mocha PHEV now offer stronger performance and better fuel efficiency. From my research, the discontinuation doesn't affect existing owners' services, with ample supply of maintenance parts. But if you're looking to buy a new car, don't waste time searching for the VV7—test drive the Mocha instead. Vehicle model updates are normal, with new technologies driving brand upgrades. If you're an existing owner, don't worry about maintenance; 4S shops can still assist you.

From an industry observation perspective, I can confirm that the VV7 has been discontinued. Great Wall's WEY brand completed its transformation in early 2023, replacing older models like the VV7 with new series such as Mocha and Latte to promote electrification. As a first-generation product, although the VV7 once achieved decent sales, it faced significant competitive pressure, making brand adjustments inevitable. The new models now offer optimized space and range, better meeting market demands. For discontinued models, I recommend potential buyers to check official website updates; existing owners can continue to enjoy normal after-sales services with accessible spare parts channels. The future trend points towards intelligent SUVs, and corporate renewal is key to maintaining vitality.

To be honest, the VV7 has been discontinued for a while. As someone who frequently deals with car repairs, I noticed WEY stopped producing this model in the second half of 2022, replacing it with the Mocha series which is easier to repair and more resource-efficient. The VV7 originally used outdated traditional engine technology that can't compete with current hybrid systems; parts supply is still normal though, so no need to worry about short-term shortages. I've repaired quite a few VV7s - decent performance but slightly higher maintenance costs. If you want peace of mind, go for newer models. That's just how car updates work - phasing out old stuff for more efficient alternatives.
