WEY VV6 belongs to the WEY brand, and it is the fourth mass-produced model under this brand, representing a Chinese luxury SUV brand. The WEY VV6 is positioned as a "class-leading intelligent safety SUV," with its exterior styling, interior features, and intelligent technology equipment all meeting the standards of forging a class-leading luxury SUV. It is the first multi-functional product under the WEY brand equipped with a four-wheel drive system. In terms of body dimensions, the WEY VV6 measures 4625mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1720mm in height. The front face adopts a black panther-inspired bionic design, featuring full- integrated high and low beam headlights, as well as a highly ceremonial flowing light welcome lamp.

I've done quite a bit of research on the WEY VV6. It's a product from WEY, the premium sub-brand under China's domestic automaker Motors. The WEY brand was launched by Great Wall in 2016, directly named after the surname of its founder Wei Jianjun, and positioned as a luxury SUV brand. The VV6 is a compact SUV within the WEY lineup, offering more space and higher-end features than the VV5, with a focus on intelligent safety systems. This vehicle comes standard across all trims with ACC adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking, plus premium features like laser headlights. Priced between 150,000 to 200,000 RMB, it's one of the most generously equipped domestic models. Last year, they even introduced a plug-in hybrid version with a pure electric range of over 100 kilometers.

When it comes to the brand affiliation of the WEY VV6, it truly stands as a representative masterpiece of domestic cars breaking through to higher levels. Motors has allocated its best technologies to the WEY brand, such as the powertrain combining a 2.0T engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 8 seconds. The interior is fully wrapped in genuine leather, featuring heated and massaging seats, and an Infinity sound system, making it far more luxurious than joint-venture cars in the same price range. I recently test-drove the new model at a 4S store, where the central control screen has been upgraded to 12.3 inches and even supports gesture control. However, what impressed me the most wasn't these features, but its crash test performance, which surpasses many imported cars, with 76% of the body steel being high-strength steel.

As someone who's driven the VV6 for half a year, the WEY logo on the steering wheel says it all. initially created WEY to produce domestic luxury SUVs, and the VV6 is the brand's sales champion. What I appreciate most during my daily commute is its excellent noise insulation – the front double-layered glass provides outstanding soundproofing. The 2.0T engine delivers 227 horsepower, and the full-speed adaptive cruise control makes highway driving effortless. The cabin space is more spacious than the CR-V, with a completely flat rear floor that makes installing child safety seats very convenient. As for drawbacks, fuel consumption is slightly high, averaging around 11L/100km in urban areas. Maintenance costs are reasonable though, as it shares the Haval dealership network.

Recently, I thoroughly researched the brand background of the WEY VV6 while helping a friend choose a car. It's the flagship product of Motors' premium lineup, as evidenced by the 'Great Wall Motors' badge on the rear. The WEY brand currently has three product lines: VV5, VV6, and VV7, with the VV6 being the best-seller. What's particularly interesting is their marketing strategy—they once had Cristiano Ronaldo as their ambassador, and their 4S stores are decorated like luxury boutiques. The model comes in three trims: ZhiHu (Intelligent Protection), ZhiXiang (Intelligent Enjoyment), and ZhiYu (Intelligent Control). The mid-range ZhiXiang trim is highly recommended—spending an extra 20,000 yuan gets you facial recognition and intelligent parking features. The heated steering wheel is especially practical in northern regions, allowing you to drive without gloves even at -10°C.

The WEY VV6 belongs to the premium WEY series under Motors. What I appreciate most are its intelligent safety features, such as the Smart Dodge function which automatically shifts the car away from the lane centerline when large trucks approach. There's also a high-definition 360° surround view system that makes parking effortless for beginners. Last week, I took my family on a road trip with the LCK Lane Centering Assist engaged throughout the journey—hardly needed to use my hands or feet. The infotainment system runs on a Qualcomm 8155 chip, operating more smoothly than a smartphone. While its brand premium may not match BMW, Audi or Mercedes-Benz, you get fully-loaded features for the same price. After two years of driving this new car, I can confidently say Chinese automakers now match joint-venture brands in quality.
