What is WEY?

[VonCorey]

WEY is a brand under Great Wall Motors, with models including VV7, VV6, VV5, VV7 PHEV, and WEY X. Taking the WEY VV7 2021 Tech Edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4760 mm in length, 1931 mm in width, and 1655 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2950 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters. The WEY VV7 2021 Tech Edition is equipped with a 2.0T 227 horsepower L4 engine, with a maximum power of 167 kW and a maximum torque of 387 Nm. It uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

Speaking of WEY, I test-drove their Latte DHT-PHEV last year and was truly impressed. WEY is a premium sub-brand launched by Great Wall Motors in 2016, positioned as a luxury SUV brand. The brand name originates from the surname of Great Wall's founder Wei Jianjun, which is quite an interesting sense-of-belonging design. I particularly love their coffee series models launched in recent years, like Mocha and Macchiato, which come equipped with large screens and intelligent driving features. The interior materials are substantial, and the seats feel like premium sofas. The driving experience leans towards comfort in chassis tuning, and the noise insulation is top-tier among domestic brands, making it especially suitable for family long-distance trips. From the earliest VV series to the current Blue Mountain DHT, the overall refinement is indeed a notch above Haval.

Recently, while helping my cousin choose a car, I researched WEY and noticed that many young people are starting to pay attention to this brand. It's a tech-focused light luxury series under Great Wall Motors, exclusively offering SUV models. What surprised me most was the infotainment system—the Coffee Intelligent Platform enables quasi-L3 autonomous driving, with particularly stable automatic lane changes when using turn signals. Most Coffee series models come equipped with NOH highway navigation, allowing automatic on/off ramp transitions during highway driving. Their transition to new energy vehicles is quite thorough—for instance, the newly launched Lanshan adopts hybrid DHT technology, achieving a combined range of 1,200 km on full tank and charge. The only downside is occasional infotainment system lag, which I hope they'll improve.

Just visited the 4S store to see the WEY Lanshan, and as a tech enthusiast, I really appreciate their hybrid solution. The WEY brand is a key part of Great Wall's premium strategy, with products concentrated in the 150,000-300,000 RMB price range. The Coffee series has very memorable names, and the vehicle architecture uses a lot of lightweight aluminum alloy materials. They spare no expense on safety configurations, with hot-formed steel accounting for 23% and knee airbags standard across the entire lineup. The battery pack has undergone 16 safety reinforcements, and I once witnessed their crush test where it didn't deform. The attention to detail is impressive, such as using Infinity audio systems and soft materials wrapping the center console.

My colleague just got a new WEY Mocha, and after experiencing it, I found the sense of luxury is indeed well-crafted. The brand targets the affordable luxury segment, with its logo inspired by the flagpole in Baoding. The interior features genuine leather + brushed panels, and the 256-color ambient lighting feels especially atmospheric at night. The front seats come with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, while the rear seats are also electrically adjustable. On the road, the chassis filters vibrations finely, and the steering offers three adjustable levels of effort. The smart features are quite practical, supporting face recognition startup and gesture control. The trunk has a hands-free opening function—just swipe your foot under the bumper while holding packages to open it.
