Wey, a Chinese car marque and part of Great Wall
Group, has held what it called its most important premiere – a battery-powered
crossover/SUV called the S.
This is the company’s second visit to the Frankfurt
Motor Show. During its first appearance there in 2017, Wey debuted an SUV
concept called the XEV.
Like its predecessor from two years ago, the new car
is also a design study, but the company promises to release the second
generation of the VV5 based on it. It does not specify what kind of features
the production car will have, but we’d expect the concept version to lose its
side view cameras, Level 4 self-driving system and suicide rear doors underway
to the assembly lines.
The Wey-S in an AWD SUV powered by two electric
motors jointly rated at 354 hp. It needs less than five seconds to get
from zero to 100 km/h and can travel for around 400 kilometers before charging becomes necessary.
