Who gets it! I just finished watching the livestream of the Wey Gaoshan 7 presale event, and my blood pressure went straight through the roof! This MPV, making its debut in Baoding on September 10, is absolutely a "hexagonal warrior" going wild in the 300,000-yuan class, and it's already locked in as the dark horse MPV of the year! Presale price: 289,800 yuan! The moment this price came out, a lot of people at the scene went "whoa." What's even more brutal are the 4 major perks for ordering now. Let me break down for you how good they are:
A 5,000-yuan deposit directly offsets 10,000 yuan of the final payment, which is like getting 5,000 yuan for free; for friends who want to trade in their car, you can either get up to 30,000 yuan in trade-in subsidy or choose a 3-year 0-interest loan, and both options are thoughtful; the most amazing one is the smart package — city and highway NOA assisted driving free for life. Wouldn't buying that separately cost tens of thousands? Finally, they also throw in a 3,599-yuan home charging pile plus installation, covering charging completely. Let me just say, Wey has welded the word "sincerity" onto the body of this car!
Why does it dare to be called the "ceiling under 300,000"? Let me tell you a few details, and after hearing them you'll understand.
First, the pain point of driving difficulty. People used to always feel that MPVs had nothing to do with "agility" — big cars are hard to park, and making a U-turn on a narrow road can make you sweat. But the Gaoshan 7 insists on breaking that impression: the car is 5.05 meters long with a wheelbase of 3.08 meters. Looks pretty big, right? But the minimum turning radius is only 5.6 meters! What does that mean? In those narrow alleys in residential compounds, you can make a U-turn in one go, easier to drive than my own SUV, and even a novice mom can handle it easily.
Now let's look at space — this is the soul of an MPV! The Gaoshan 7's "room rate" (that is, the proportion of interior space to the whole vehicle) reaches 61.1%, the highest in its class! With a completely flat floor, the second- and third-row seats can also be adjusted freely along the rails, and the third row is no longer a "punishment seat" — even an adult can stretch their legs. On a weekend family camping trip, the kid's bicycle, tent, and folding table can all be stuffed in the back. This space utilization rate gets full marks from me!
When it comes to intelligence, needless to say more — it's the only one in its class with standard lidar! Assisted driving can handle the entire process "from parking space to parking space" for you, recognize more than 200 types of parking spaces, with a 96% success rate — in the future, even in some awkward corner of a parking lot, it can steadily park itself, and you won't have to get out and stare for ages anymore.
Power and safety are even more beyond question. With intelligent four-wheel drive, maximum power is 337 kW, and 0-100 km/h acceleration is only 5.7 seconds! Fully loaded with family going uphill or overtaking on the highway, one press of the accelerator and it's crisp and decisive without dragging. The all-aluminum suspension also reduces bumps, and it stays stable driving in rain or snow.
On safety, Wey CEO Feng Fuzhi said something very honest: "At Great Wall, safety is not a configuration, it is the bottom line." The Gaoshan 7 uses a triple high-strength cage body, with 81.96% high-strength steel, and the A- and B-pillars even use 2000 MPa ultra-high-strength steel (equivalent to a fingernail-sized area withstanding 20 tons of force). The side curtain airbags are super long, protecting passengers in all three rows; the battery has passed 89 rigorous tests and is also the industry's first MPV with a full score on the "Electric Vehicle Fire Safety Index." What's even more impressive is that it has also passed both "zero formaldehyde" and "C-GCAP full five-star" certifications, with remote ultraviolet sterilization — for families with elderly people and children, riding in this car really gives peace of mind.
By the way, the press conference also announced the Gaoshan Accessible Edition, at 349,800 yuan. It is specially designed for families with special needs, with humanistic care in every detail, and the price is honest enough.
Actually, what moved me most at this press conference was Great Wall Chairman Wei Jianjun's line: "What users want is the truth, not myths." He personally "invigilated" on site, having the team openly accept supervision from the entire internet, for fear of bragging. This kind of down-to-earth sincerity is really rare in today's car circle.
To be honest, in recent years Wey has really been "changing for users": upgrading the infotainment system based on feedback, renewing store services, and steadily doing direct sales. Just like how after the all-new Gaoshan launched in May, it has repeatedly taken the weekly sales champion spot among plug-in hybrid MPVs; the Blue Mountain's cumulative deliveries exceeded 100,000 in August, becoming the third large six-seat new energy SUV to sell over 100,000 units — the data doesn't lie, users voted with their wallets. If you are a young family and want an MPV with big space, easy driving, intelligence, safety, and a price under 300,000, the Gaoshan 7 is really worth keeping a close eye on.
