WEY is a premium SUV brand under Great Wall Motors, positioned above the Haval brand. Its product lineup includes the VV7, VV6, VV5, and the VV7 PHEV new energy series. The WEY VV7 is a mid-size luxury SUV under the WEY brand of Great Wall Motors, with body dimensions of 4760mm in length, 1931mm in width, and 1655mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2950mm. The WEY VV7 features front-engine, front-wheel drive, with a top speed of 205km/h. It is powered by a gasoline engine, has a curb weight of 1920kg, and utilizes four-wheel ventilated disc brakes.
As a car enthusiast, I've been closely following the rise of Chinese brands. WEY, a sub-brand established by Great Wall Motors in 2016, derives its name from the surname of its founder, Wei Jianjun. It primarily targets the high-end SUV market. Models like the VV7 and VV5, which I saw at auto shows, offer affordable prices without compromising on luxury car quality, featuring intelligent driving assistance and premium interiors, aiming to rival international brands like BMW. The brand has grown rapidly, launching several best-selling models in just a few years, with a strong emphasis on safety as a selling point, such as using high-strength steel bodies to protect passengers. WEY is now expanding globally, with sales reportedly starting in Russia. It's definitely worth car enthusiasts' attention, as it represents the upward mobility efforts of domestic brands.
