What kind of car is the VV7?

VV7 is a mid-size SUV under the Great Wall Motors brand. Here are more details about the VV7: 1. In terms of appearance, the VV7 Tech Edition is basically the same as the regular version, retaining the family's "Panther Bionic" design elements. Officially described as a three-dimensional sporty front face bionic design, combined with vertical headlight styling, the overall effect is highly impactful. 2. For the interior, the new car largely follows the design style of the current model, predominantly featuring a black color scheme. The most notable difference is the addition of a rear-seat screen controller, along with a built-in dashcam and an automatic parking system. 3. Under the hood, the new car continues to be powered by the existing 2.0T engine, delivering a maximum power of 167kW (227PS) and a peak torque of 387Nm, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.

Last time I accompanied a friend for a test drive, I came across the VV7. This car left me with the impression of a bulky SUV. As the flagship product of Great Wall's premium brand WEY, it was quite the sensation when it debuted in 2017. The fastback design paired with 20-inch large wheels made it particularly eye-catching on the road. The interior was quite sophisticated, featuring heated and massaging leather seats, and a central control screen as large as a tablet. The 2.0T engine delivered ample power, though the fuel consumption in city driving could reach 12-13 liters. Nowadays, it's less common on the roads, reportedly replaced by newer models like the Mocha, but back then, it was a representative of domestic luxury cars.

Someone in our car club has driven the VV7, and according to him, it was Great Wall's first attempt to break into the high-end market. The body uses a large amount of high-strength steel, and features like active braking and lane keeping were top-tier in domestic cars at the time. The rear seats are particularly spacious, even tall people won't feel cramped. The noise insulation on highways is good, and the Infinity sound system delivers satisfying bass. The transmission can sometimes be a bit slow to respond, and the infotainment system occasionally lags, but these are minor issues. You can still find 2019 models in the used car market for just over 100,000 yuan, which is a better deal than comparable joint-venture cars.

I studied the specs when this car was first launched. The WEY VV7 is equipped with a 2.0T electronically controlled turbocharged engine producing 234 horsepower, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The chassis features a front MacPherson and rear multi-link suspension, tuned for comfort. With a body length of 4765mm and a wheelbase of 2950mm, it's even larger than the Highlander. Safety features include Bosch's 9.3-generation ESP, with the high-end model offering full-speed adaptive cruise control. It has a 65L fuel tank but only manages a real-world range of just over 500 kilometers, mainly due to its nearly two-ton curb weight. Currently, its resale value in the used car market is average, with three-year-old models retaining about 50% of their original value.
