The VV7
will be launched on the Chinese car market
later this month. WEY is a new “premium SUV” brand under Great Wall Motors. After the VV7 they will launch
the car currently known as the WEY 02, a similar looking but smaller
SUV.
The interior is a masterpiece in simplicity. Many
Chinese automakers love to add as much buttons and panels as possibly possible,
but Great Wall is showing great restraint here. The materials are top notch.
The steering wheel and seats looks luxurious. Perforated pedals seem to be made
of metal. Three air vents on the ultra clean center stack. The only thing that
isn’t so good is the relatively small touch screen.
The graphics are great but it just isn’t on par with
the ultra giant screens the competition is fitting in their cars nowadays.
Great Wall hasn’t disclosed the size yet but it seems to be max 10 inch.
They have disclosed the size of the fully digital
instrument panel: 12.3 inches, and again with very good graphics. The driver
can adjust the settings to create different panels.
Power for the VV7 (S and not-S) comes from a 2.0
turbo with 234 hp and 360 Nm, it is mated to a 7-speed DCT sending horses to all
four wheels. WEY logo on the engine cover.
