4 Answers
Below are the specific differences between Mocha and VV7: 1. Dimensions: The Mocha measures 4875/1960/1690mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2915mm. The wheelbase is 35mm shorter than the VV7, but the overall body size is larger. 2. Powertrain: The Mocha is exclusively equipped with a 2.0T engine, delivering a maximum power of 214 horsepower and peak torque of 328 N·m, paired with Great Wall's self-developed transverse 9-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The VV7 is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine with the code GW4C20A, producing a maximum power of 234 horsepower, and matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the VV7 for two years, and later test-drove my friend's Mocha—the difference is quite noticeable. The VV7 is a veteran SUV from the WEY brand, slightly larger with a 5-meter-long body, offering spacious comfort ideal for family road trips. The Mocha is a bit smaller but more modern, featuring sleeker exterior lines and trendier lighting designs. In terms of powertrain, the VV7 comes exclusively with a 2.0T pure gasoline engine, which is thirstier, averaging 9-10L/100km, and feels a bit sluggish; the Mocha offers a hybrid option with a DHT system, delivering better fuel efficiency in city commutes at 6-7L/100km and smoother acceleration. Inside, the VV7 has a smaller 10-inch infotainment screen with basic functionality, while the Mocha comes standard with a 12.3-inch large screen, equipped with Coffee Pilot driving assistance and smarter voice control, such as real-time navigation updates. After testing both, I prefer the Mocha's tech-savvy details, though the VV7 is more affordable, especially in the used-car market. If innovation is a priority, upgrading to the Mocha is recommended; otherwise, the VV7 is sufficient.
As a driver who frequently takes long trips, I've compared the driving experience between the VV7 and the Mocha. The VV7 handles with a solid and steady feel, with a robust body structure, but it lacks agility in turns, especially in crowded urban areas. On the other hand, the Mocha is more nimble, with well-tuned suspension and precise steering, making it as easy to drive as a sedan. There's a significant difference in power: the VV7's engine is noisy and accelerates slowly, while the Mocha's hybrid version is quiet and smooth, with quick acceleration, especially noticeable when starting from a red light. In terms of fuel efficiency, my VV7 can run about 500 kilometers on a full tank, whereas the Mocha can reach up to 700 kilometers, saving a considerable amount on expenses. Regarding space and practicality, the VV7 offers a wider rear seat, making it easier to load luggage, while the Mocha has a cleverly designed trunk with a large opening, enhancing its practicality. I lean towards the Mocha for its efficiency, but the VV7 is simpler to repair with cheaper parts. Overall, the Mocha is the better choice for a new car purchase, especially the hybrid version.
When buying a car, I carefully weighed my options, as there's a notable price difference between the VV7 and Mocha. The VV7 starts at 180,000 yuan for a new model, with substantial discounts currently available; the Mocha's entry-level version is just over 200,000 yuan, and opting for the hybrid version pushes the price up to 250,000 yuan. Comparing configurations, the VV7 comes with all basic features like a rearview camera, while the Mocha adds smart parking and OTA upgrades. In terms of usage costs, the VV7, being purely gasoline-powered, has cheaper maintenance at around 500 yuan per service; the Mocha's smart system requires regular maintenance, adding an extra 200 yuan. Regarding fuel consumption, my data tests show the VV7 averages 10 liters per 100 km, with annual fuel costs around 12,000 yuan; the Mocha hybrid uses 7 liters, saving 3,000 yuan annually. The VV7 has a slight edge in space, but the Mocha's interior materials are more premium and durable enough to last a decade. As for resale value, the VV7 depreciates faster, while the Mocha holds its value better. My recommendation: if you're on a tight budget, go for a used VV7; otherwise, go all out for the Mocha.
