A vertical line logo belongs to the WEY brand. WEY's vehicle lineup includes: WEY VV7, WEY VV5, WEY VV6, WEY VV7 GT, WEY P8, etc. Taking the 2021 WEY VV5 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4462mm in length, 1857mm in width, and 1638mm in height, a wheelbase of 2680mm, a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and a curb weight of 1579kg. The 2021 WEY VV5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 171PS, maximum power of 126kW, and maximum torque of 287Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

As a car enthusiast who often helps friends choose cars, this question is quite interesting. In fact, cars with purely vertical logos are quite rare. The most typical example is the premium brand WEY (Wei Pai) under Great Wall Motors, whose logo is a straight silver vertical bar with a small square at the top, inspired by the flagpole of the Zhili Governor's Office in Baoding. Models like the VV5, VV7, or Mocha you see on the road all feature this emblem. Additionally, Genesis, the luxury brand under Hyundai, uses a double parallel line logo that from a distance looks very much like vertical stripes, especially on their G80 sedan. Also, don't be misled by Lincoln's cross-star logo; although it may resemble a vertical line from certain angles, it's actually a star design.

Last time my neighbor Old Zhang said his grandson pointed at a car and asked, ‘Grandpa, what’s that stick-like emblem?’ I knew it must be a WEY. This domestic luxury brand has become quite common in recent years, especially the black SUVs with the silver vertical emblem, which stands out. Actually, another brand with a vertical line-like emblem is the Korean Genesis, but its logo is actually a two-stripe wing design. It’s worth noting that some Tesla Model 3 owners replace the front emblem with a black horizontal bar, but such modifications are rare. If you really want to identify the car, checking the letters on the rear is the most accurate way.

This question reminds me of a trick my driving instructor taught me back in the day. There are mainly two scenarios with single vertical line logos: For domestic cars, look for the WEY series, which all feature vertical stripes standard on the front of the hood; for imported cars, check out Genesis, especially when viewed from the side where the double-wing logo resembles a single vertical line. Recently, I've noticed some electric vehicles also adopt minimalist line designs, such as the HiPhi's front light strip combination that looks like a three-dimensional vertical logo. Here's a tip for distinguishing them: WEY's logo has diamond-shaped details at the top, while Genesis' has a stronger metallic texture.
