What kind of car is WEY?

WEY is a brand under Great Wall Motors. Here is more information about WEY: 1. WEY is a subsidiary brand of Great Wall Motors, established in 2016. Currently, there are four models available for sale: WEY VV7, WEY VV5, WEY P8, and WEY VV6. 2. The WEY VV7 is the first model, positioned as a mid-size SUV. It features a very wide grille design and prominent body lines, giving it a strong sporty appearance that makes it hard to tell it's a domestic car at first glance. 3. The WEY VV7 does not perform very well in terms of interior space. Since the car's exterior design is a major selling point, the optimization of the interior has been somewhat neglected, resulting in a less spacious cabin. 4. In terms of fuel consumption, the VV7 is also somewhat high. Although the official fuel consumption is 8 liters per 100 kilometers, the actual driving consumption is usually around 11 liters. This fuel consumption is definitely on the high side for a family car, which is a reason many people choose not to buy the VV7.
I remember noticing WEY a few years ago when I was paying attention to domestic car brands. It's actually a luxury sub-brand launched by Great Wall Motors in 2016. Founder Wei Jianjun named the brand with his own surname, making it the first domestic automaker bold enough to do so. Initially focused on the VV series SUVs, the design was quite distinctive, especially the three vertical daytime running lights on the front, which made it highly recognizable on the street. I test-drove the VV7, and the interior materials were indeed more refined than ordinary domestic cars, with full leather wrapping and soundproof glass, making it exceptionally quiet on the highway. Later, they transitioned to the Coffee series, introducing hybrid models like the Macchiato and Latte, and recently launched the Blue Mountain DHT-PHEV, a large six-seat new energy vehicle. It feels like they've carved out their own path in luxury.
