Latte is a model under the WEY brand of Motors. Introduction: The Latte is built on Great Wall's Lemon Hybrid DHT system and is the first WEY model to feature the 1.5T Intelligent Hybrid DHT technology. It is designed for urban driving scenarios with a focus on fuel efficiency, capable of operating in various modes including EV driving, hybrid driving, series driving, energy recovery, and idle charging. Fuel Consumption: Positioned as a compact SUV, the Latte is equipped with Great Wall's latest intelligent hybrid system. The 1.5T engine features energy recovery functionality, allowing the engine to charge the motor during idle states, resulting in a fuel consumption of 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers.

Recently, many people have been asking what the Latte car is. As someone who has been closely following the developments of domestic cars, I found out that it's a hybrid SUV launched by Great Wall's WEY brand. It's a key model in Great Wall's Coffee series, with a distinctive appearance—featuring a large grille paired with slim headlights, making it easily recognizable on the road. The interior uses a lot of soft materials, and the central control screen is nearly 27 inches, larger than my home tablet. The most practical feature is its intelligent hybrid system, which delivers a fuel consumption of just over 4 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving, making it easy to travel 1,000 kilometers on a full tank. The trunk space is sufficient for a stroller plus luggage, and the chassis tuning leans towards comfort, ensuring a smooth ride even when taking elderly passengers out.

Last week, I test-drove the Latte DHT-PHEV, and the name itself is quite interesting. has adopted coffee categories for vehicle naming, with the Latte positioned as a mid-sized plug-in hybrid SUV, featuring body dimensions smaller than the Mocha but larger than the Macchiato. The driving experience felt smooth in terms of power delivery, with a 1.5T engine combined with an electric motor producing a total output of 321 horsepower, and a pure electric range of 180 kilometers. The interior boasts a crystal gear knob and suede roof lining, with heated seats in the rear. Notably, the intelligent cruise control feature allows for automatic overtaking and lane changes on highways. The battery utilizes ternary lithium cells, supporting fast charging to 80% in just half an hour.

I remember studying the Latte in detail when recommending a car to my cousin last year. This vehicle belongs to Great Wall's premium sub-brand WEY (now called Wey), with a length of around 4.6 meters, making it just right for family use. Its core selling point is the intelligent DHT hybrid technology, with the two-wheel-drive version offering a combined fuel consumption of 4.9L, and the four-wheel-drive version featuring electronically controlled suspension. It's packed with safety features, including six airbags and rear-seat vital signs monitoring. Once, I forgot my keys but could still unlock the car using on my phone. The infotainment system allows remote control of the air conditioning, which is especially useful in winter. The noise insulation is well done; you don't need to raise your voice for conversations inside the car at 80 km/h.

My neighbor's newly purchased Latte Coffee color is quite eye-catching, and I found out through chatting that this is WEY's best-selling hybrid model. With a wheelbase of 2745mm, it comfortably seats five people without feeling cramped, and the trunk can vertically fit a golf bag. The front millimeter-wave radar supports 50-meter trace reverse parking, making U-turns in narrow alleys hassle-free. The most practical feature is the 220V external discharge, which can power an induction cooker for camping. The active safety configurations impressed me—it automatically brakes when encountering sudden pedestrian crossings, and the transparent chassis function prevents bumps when driving on rough roads.

Automotive media data tests show that the Latte ranks among the top three in for hybrid SUVs priced between 150,000 and 200,000 yuan. It comes in two versions: the DHT hybrid version focuses on fuel efficiency with a fuel consumption of 5.4L when the battery is depleted, while the DHT-PHEV plug-in hybrid version qualifies for green license plates and offers a pure electric range of 184 kilometers. Different from its siblings, the Macchiato (compact) and Mocha (mid-to-large size), the Latte is a mid-size SUV. The Qualcomm 8155 chip ensures a fast infotainment system response, with a tested continuous voice command recognition rate of 92%. The rear floor is completely flat, making it comfortable for the middle passenger.
