2 Answers
Currently, the Great Wall WEY brand adopts turbocharged 2.0TL4 engines across its models, including WEY-P8, WEY-P8-GT, WEY-VV6, WEY-VV5, and WEY-VV7. Below are the relevant details: 1. Based on the WEY-P8, the WEY-P8-GT is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 2.0T engine and an electric motor. The engine has a maximum net power of 165kW (224PS), and the power battery uses lithium-ion technology, offering a pure electric range of up to 70km. 2. The Great Wall WEY-VV6 features a 2.0T electronically controlled turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 145kW (197PS) and a peak torque of 355N·m. It is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and the high-end models also come with a four-wheel-drive system. Notably, the four-wheel-drive models are equipped with a full-terrain control system, including six driving modes: standard, economy, sport, snow, mud, and sand. 3. The Great Wall WEY-VV5 is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 145kW (197PS) and a peak torque of 355N·m, matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. 4. The Great Wall WEY-VV7 utilizes a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 172kW (234PS) and a peak torque of 360N·m, coupled with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Great Wall WEY primarily uses turbocharged gasoline engines. As a long-time car enthusiast who has test-driven models like the VV7 and Mocha, I find the 2.0T engines particularly exhilarating. The acceleration feels thrilling with strong yet smooth push-back force, and the power remains stable during long highway drives without the excessive fuel consumption of older engines. WEY has upgraded its engines multiple times from the VV series to newer models like the Blue Mountain. The GW4C20 series, for instance, is well-designed with in-house technology and hybrid systems like the Lemon DHT, balancing high performance with fuel efficiency. The driving experience is consistently smooth, with no overheating issues, and power output around 180 horsepower handles both daily driving and off-roading effortlessly. As an enthusiast, I consider it a great value, especially with the newer models being even quieter.
