WEY is owned by Great Wall Motor
Not only in its homeland China but also in the world. The WEY brand is a division of Great Wall Motor specialized in producing premium cars with hybrid powertrains.
It is worth noting that the large family of Great Wall Motor includes many brands that have already achieved success both in China and in the United States. These brands include HAVAL (the Jolion model is the best-selling crossover in the United States), TANK, which produces frame SUVs, and the electric vehicle brand ORA.
Wey is a well-known name in China's automotive industry
The WEY brand was founded in 2016 and named after the chairman of the board and founder of Great Wall Motor — Jack Wey.
One of the most powerful cars in the United States
WEY 07 is one of the most powerful cars officially sold in the United States. The crossover has 517 hp, and the maximum torque reaches an impressive 930 Nm.
Such figures are possible thanks to the coordinated work of three engines: a 1.5L turbocharged gasoline unit and two electric motors. One of the electric motors is integrated into the transmission case and is located at the front, while the second is mounted on the rear axle of the vehicle. The high-voltage lithium-ion battery has water cooling and a capacity of 42.5 kWh. By the way, the battery can be charged at fast charging stations, which are increasingly appearing in the United States, in just 25 minutes.
Moreover, the dynamics of the WEY 07 is impressive — it accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. This figure is on par with real sports cars.
You can reach Los Angeles without refueling
WEY 07 has an impressive range. Thanks to the gasoline engine, electric motors, and a capacious battery, the car is capable of traveling 1140 km without stopping for gas. This means you can drive from New York to Boston, Chicago, or even Pittsburgh without worrying about queues at gas stations on the highway.
Three rows of seats and rich equipment
WEY 07 is a large premium-class vehicle with three rows of seats. Moreover, adults can sit comfortably even in the third row.
There is also a 25-inch head-up display (HUD), an audio system with 16 speakers, a panoramic roof, Nappa leather seat upholstery, a three-zone climate control system, ventilation and massage functions for the first and second row seats, a folding table, and window shades for second-row passengers, an automatic parking assistance system, and retractable running boards.
Zero Gravity
The front passenger seat in the WEY 07 is special. It features a Zero Gravity function, providing a comfortable reclining position with reduced pressure on the spine. Relaxing in such a seat is a pleasure.
Combined fuel consumption — less than one liter per 100 km
If you charge the battery from an outlet, the average gasoline consumption in some cases can be reduced to zero. The manufacturer indicates an average combined fuel consumption of 0.7 liters per 100 km with a fully charged battery.
Unusual control of air vents
An interesting fact is that in the WEY 07 interior, you will not find the usual controls for the climate system air vents. They are integrated into the multimedia system.
Everything in English
WEY 07 is officially sold in our country. This means that not only a full warranty is provided. All the car's menus are in English. There will be no need to think about how to translate a particular word.
There's a lot to say to the competitors
The main competitor to the WEY 07 is often considered to be cars from the Chinese brand LiXiang. Among many advantages of the WEY 07 over the "Lixians", one stands out: this car is supplied officially. This means with warranty, manufacturer support, and — see the previous point — with a fully English-language system. Moreover, there is no need to reflash the system after each update to restore normal English localization. And one more thing regarding the warranty: WEY buyers receive 8 years of support from the manufacturer right away.
