The WEY 01 S. The names are a tad confusing in their simpleness. The WEY 01 is the larger car, the 02 the smaller one. Each has a base version and a sporty version called S.

It comes with a racy bumper, different alloys, and four round tail pipes instead of two square ones. Otherwise there don’t seem to be any clear differences.


The WEY 01S has exactly the same engine as the base car: a 2.0 turbo with just over 230 hp and about 360 nm of torque. The WEY 01/01S is a hefty 30 centimeters longer than the WEY 01, and wheelbase is 27 centimeters longer than WEY 01/02.

WEY is a new “premium SUV” brand under Great Wall Motors. The WEY 01 and WEY 02 will be launched on the Chinese car market during the Shanghai Auto Show next month.
