Why was the VV6 discontinued?
2 Answers
Many people do not recommend buying the VV6, and its power is relatively weak. Here are the detailed specifications of the VV6: 1. Model: The VV6 is a compact SUV with a length of 4625 mm, a width of 1860 mm, a height of 1720 mm, and a wheelbase of 2680 mm. 2. Engine: The VV6 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup. The maximum power is 167 kW, and the maximum torque is 387 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 5500 rpm and its maximum torque between 1800 and 3600 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. 3. Transmission: It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 4. Suspension: The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a double-wishbone independent suspension.
I used to drive a VV6 and really liked its spaciousness and comfort, but later heard it was discontinued, which is related to WEY's brand strategy adjustment. Great Wall Motors wants to shift its focus to new series, such as the Mocha and Macchiato coffee series models, which emphasize intelligent driving and new energy technology, aligning better with current trends. Although the VV6 had stable sales, its technology was somewhat outdated, with traditional designs in areas like electrification and smart cockpits, and higher costs. The automotive industry is fiercely competitive, especially with Chinese brands rapidly launching new models—failure to upgrade means being left behind. As a consumer, I find it a bit regrettable, but in the long run, brand renewal is a good thing, as it can attract more young buyers to the new models. Personally, I recommend that existing owners pay attention to the supply of maintenance parts and ensure timely servicing without delay.
