vv6 is a Chinese luxury SUV brand and the fourth mass-produced model under WEY, which refers to the Chinese luxury SUV brand. Introduction to the vv6: 1. Exterior: The front face adopts a black panther-inspired bionic design, equipped with full integrated high/low beam headlights and a highly ceremonial flowing welcome light, which automatically turns on when the door is unlocked. This gives the model a visually coordinated and smooth appearance with strong recognition. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with a new-generation 2.0T turbocharged direct-injection engine, enabling turbo intervention at lower RPMs, and incorporates an engine start-stop technology with memory function. It is also paired with a 7-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission.

Talking about the VV6 really brings back memories. WEY is a premium brand launched by , positioned a notch above Haval. The VV6 is a compact SUV, with its bigger brother being the VV7 and a more entry-level model called the VV5. When it was first launched in 2018, it was quite popular, and I had friends who bought one. What really stood out was its bold design—honeycomb grille paired with a diamond-shaped logo, and vertical LED taillights that gave it a luxury car vibe from afar. The interior was even more impressive, featuring heated and ventilated leather seats, even a heated steering wheel, and an intelligent driving system that could follow and steer automatically. A car priced just over 100,000 yuan delivered a luxury feel rivaling 300,000-yuan models—it was truly stunning at the time.

Our colleague has been commuting in a blue VV6 since the year before last, and she often praises its ample rear legroom. With a wheelbase of 2680mm, the legroom is exceptionally spacious, and the trunk can easily fit two large suitcases. The seats are moderately firm, providing comfort even during long rides without causing back pain. Powered by Great Wall's self-developed 2.0T engine with 227 horsepower pushing a body weighing less than 1.7 tons, overtaking feels particularly effortless, though fuel consumption is slightly higher at around 10L in city driving. What surprised me was the noise insulation—wind noise remains well-controlled even at 120 km/h. Unfortunately, it was discontinued last year after being merged into the Coffee series, so now the only option is to search the market if you want one.

As a seasoned automotive editor, I frequently disassemble WEY models. The most valuable feature of the VV6 is its safety configuration. It was among the first to incorporate rear-seat occupant detection, which triggers flashing roof lights and horn alerts if the driver forgets a child or pet inside. The entire lineup comes with six airbags, and the body structure boasts over 65% high-strength steel content—earning a C-NCAP five-star rating two years ago. The A-pillars house built-in crash beams, while the doors conceal dual anti-collision bars, making it remarkably well-equipped for a 150,000-yuan SUV. However, some owners reported lagging infotainment systems, an issue later resolved with the switch to the Coffee series.

From a design perspective, the VV6 is truly a pride of Chinese automotive brands. Its front fascia features a panther-inspired bionic design, with three vertical daytime running lights extending from the hood to the bumper, while the side profile resembles a sprinting cheetah. The interior employs leather stitching to create a wraparound cockpit feel, with a floating center console design and an electronic gear shifter resembling an aircraft throttle. What impressed me most during the media test drive was the ambient lighting that synchronized with music rhythms - a feature even didn't offer at the time. Unfortunately, due to brand strategy adjustments, it was merged into the Latte/Mocha series in 2021, becoming an important footnote in the evolution of domestic premium SUVs.

Speaking of the VV6's technical highlights is quite interesting. It uses the E20CB engine paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, delivering 387 N·m of torque at just 1500 rpm. The most unique feature is its intelligent four-wheel-drive system, which can dynamically distribute power between the front and rear axles in real time. Once during a rainy mountain drive, the car automatically allocated 70% of the power to the rear wheels when taking sharp turns, keeping the tires firmly planted. There's even a hidden high-definition wide-angle camera on the roof for recording driving footage. It's a pity that WEY has now transitioned to new energy vehicles, with the fuel version being updated to the third-generation H6.
