3 Answers
There are several main differences between the Great Wall VV6 and VV7: 1. Body dimensions: The VV7 is generally larger than the VV6, with more spacious interior space. The VV6's body dimensions are 4625*1860*1720mm, with a wheelbase of 2680mm; the VV7's body dimensions are 4765*1931*1655mm, with a wheelbase of 2950mm. 2. Power: The VV6 is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 145kW, maximum torque of 355N·m, and maximum horsepower of 197Ps; the VV7 is also equipped with a 2.0T engine, but with a maximum power of 172kW, maximum torque of 360N·m, and maximum horsepower of 234Ps.
I've driven the VV6 and VV7 multiple times, and personally feel the differences are quite noticeable. The VV6 is positioned as a compact SUV with a smaller body, making it more agile for city driving. It's powered by a 1.5T engine that provides smooth acceleration and maintains fuel consumption around 8L, which is quite economical and suitable for commuters. The VV7 is larger, classified as a midsize SUV, and equipped with a more powerful 2.0T engine for stronger acceleration, offering stable performance on highways with fuel consumption close to 10L, making it more suitable for long-distance travel. In terms of interior, the VV6 uses practical materials with firmer seats, while the VV7 features more comfortable leather seats with massage functions. Space-wise, the VV6 has a wider rear seat, but the VV7 offers more legroom and a significantly larger trunk, easily accommodating camping gear. Both models come with comprehensive safety features, but the VV7 adds adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring systems, giving it a more tech-savvy edge. The daily usability gap isn't exaggerated, but the differences in comfort and presence are substantial.
As an experienced driver, I have a preference for driving performance. The VV6's chassis tuning is on the softer side, providing excellent filtration on urban bumpy roads and making handling effortless; its power delivery is linear, with the 1.5T engine offering sufficient acceleration in the city and stable performance on highways. The VV7's chassis is firmer, offering strong support during cornering, and its 2.0T engine delivers impressive explosive power, with strong acceleration and a noticeable push-back sensation, making the drive more thrilling. In terms of engine tuning, the VV6 prioritizes economy, while the VV7 emphasizes a sportier feel. Size-wise, the VV7 is longer and wider, providing a more expansive view, though parking can be slightly more challenging; the VV6, on the other hand, is more agile and easier to park. Additionally, both models feature similar electronic steering feedback—light and easy—but the VV7's steering responds quicker in dynamic mode. The main differences lie in power characteristics and driving experience: the VV6 is suited for smooth driving, while the VV7 offers a more exhilarating ride.
