Not long after Haval unveiled its ‘Big
Dog,’ an SUV seemingly inspired by the Ford Bronco, another Chinese automaker
has teased a rugged SUV of its own and it is even more similar to the Bronco
than what Haval has cooked up.
Dubbed the P01 and coming from WEY,
teasers reveal the SUV will have very similar round headlights to the Bronco as
well as horizontal LED daytime running lights. We can also see a prominent
front grille with three horizontal slats and a rugged-looking bumper with small
fog lights.
Elsewhere, we can see the WEY P01 has
black plastic fender flares, square wing mirrors, and an overall upright and
boxy shape. There are also a set of roof rails while at the rear you’ll find
vertical taillights and a spare wheel. There is also a black bumper.
Limited technical specifications about the
P01 are known at this early stage. However, it is understood it will sport
double-wishbone independent front suspension and an integral bridge-type
independent rear suspension layout. The example featured in these teasers
appears to be fitted with all-terrain tires so it is quite clear that the
off-road design will be more than skin deep and that the P01 may actually be
capable off the beaten path.
No images previewing the interior of the
P01 have hit the web nor have any details about its powertrain. WEY is expected
to unveil the vehicle in the coming weeks. It will likely only be sold in
China.
