On September 5, Wey officially released the official images of its all-new SUV. The new car has not yet been officially named, but its exterior has been fully revealed—a vertical-slat grille, round headlights, a boxy body shape, and a laser radar sitting on the roof.
At the front, the vertical-slat intake grille paired with round light clusters on both sides is indeed highly recognizable. The raised character lines on the hood give the front end a stronger sense of power. Some media outlets have already dug up that this car is most likely Wey's version of the "Great Wall H10." The H10 has already been launched, and this Wey model swaps in a vertical-slat grille and round headlights, visually resembling the Tank 800 even more.
The side profile is dominated by straight lines and sharp angles, with a typical boxy silhouette. A short front overhang, long wheelbase, and high stance make the overall posture upright and give it a strong sense of power. At the rear, vertical dual-polygon taillights paired with an externally mounted spare tire give it a truly rugged character.
The laser radar on the roof is the key information. The official confirmation is that the new car will be equipped with an advanced intelligent driver assistance system. Great Wall Motor Chairman Wei Jianjun revealed that the car uses a unibody structure, is powered by a 2.0T plug-in hybrid system, and comes with a rear axle mechanical differential lock and an intelligent center lock. The CLTC pure electric range is expected to reach 300 km.
Quick comment:
This boxy model from Wey has all the rugged elements it should have—vertical-slat grille, round lights, and an externally mounted spare tire. The laser radar on board means intelligent driving will not be absent, and the combination of a 2.0T plug-in hybrid plus a rear lock is sufficient. The unibody structure shows that it is not aimed at hardcore off-roading.
