This is exactly what German brands need to be confronted with. Mercedes actually needed to lower prices in China to stay competetive. The same will happen here in Europe. And that's good for us consumers.

[@autogefuehl]

Interesting yes i also read about that

Very good review, up to the point and no excess. I watched a lot Thomas videos... Not sure who is better now!

[@autogefuehl]

Welcome 🤗

[@hanswurst6742]

Regarding physical buttons and "they way the future functions" -> Just no, no it's not. Physical buttons are supposed to be physical buttons where it makes sense. Smartphones don't have them because when you watch videos or pictures or anything on it, you would lose screen size with physical buttons. So there touch makes sense. In a car, where you never watch anything full screen and the buttons are always needed, there is no excuse for touch buttons. It's just stupid and the opposite of luxury..period

[@autogefuehl]

Agree

[@squod1]

Googled the brand. Looked at their social media. No flag waving, no degeneracy, no virtue signaling.. just cars. What a novel idea!

[@benjybroder7918]

thanks for such a great review ,much appreciated

[@Cloxxki]

With 40 kWh, why even look forward to going full electric? You have that comfort already. Very rarely will the ICE fire up, even more rarely will you be doing the walk of shame at the petrol station (if you fele that way). A hasted 1500 km road trip is no problem and you can venture off the beaten path, void of fast chargers. In reality, 99% of your communiting will be all-electric, 80% of your weekend trips. If you can charge at work, you're golden. 2 or 3 tanks a years for the average owner? And yes, to real people the freedom on having the ICE actually matters.

[@derbigpr500]

It's a really nice car, it excelled on the euroncap crash tests too. They just need to cut down on the gloss black plastic on the center console IMHO. I'd rather see that central console wrapped in leather like the rest of the dashboard.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

I think one of the mistakes people make is to think "cheap" with Chinese products. China makes quality, premium products as well as inexpensive or "budget" ones. From what I'm reading about Chinese cars, the quality is there. The solidity is there. What isn't quite there? The road manners of the better German and Japanese cars. But if you want a quality, premium car, don't discount the Chinese manufacturers to build them as well. And the flooding from Chinese makers won't all be "cheap" car. One more thing. When I say Chinese I mean Chinese brands. I do not mean acquired European brands like Lotus, Volvo and Polestar. Those are European cars in terms of their heritage, build, design and driving dynamics whose finances go through a Chinese parent. That's a different product than a Chinese car.

[@Fhcy1654]

我在中国有一辆这个车，型号的命名和我们中国不一样，但外形和内饰都一样，到目前为止，两年开了25000公里，真的非常好的体验，我以前开丰田RAV4三年多，同样的价格，我现在只想开这辆车，舒适度，科技化和性能上都远胜RAV4。在中国这辆车的价格和RAV4高配置版本的一样，比大众的途观高配置版本便宜一些

[@andrejkrusic372]

I really think Chinese cars entering EU market are a welcome competition. Maybe European manufacturers will now raise the abysmal quality of late models. Like Huawei did with smartphones.

[@tonnyochieng118]

Excellent razor sharp analysis and none of the manufacturer bias some reviewers tend to fall foul of. Thanks. And this is coming from someone partial to BMWs!!

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers!

[@timothymcgee871]

Lol that was soo biased 😂😂 say anything bad about it and they won’t let them leave the country 😂

For a first generation vehicle it looks fantastic. Hoping this arrives at the states at competitive price

[@hornet99923]

Another Chinese garbage

[@cartrack730]

Seriously? They are getting ready to start WW3 and you would hand over your money to them?

[@eal_ppl]

Flawless design

[@adarshchoudhary1900]

Great thumbnail! The car looks so menacing in it :D

[@autogefuehl]

appreciated =)

[@sphaera3809]

I love the interior, reminds me a little of what Citroen or Renault would have done. It has some French car design feel. Will it be coming to the US?

[@Zoranurai13]

IQOO, WEY, ORA, HONGQI, is it just me or do those names sound like those amazon items that are all from the same manufacturer

[@kamsunleong6648]

Chinese evs Ora, Zeekr, Nio, Avatr sounds pretty cool names.

[@stevenm1054]

Did he say Wey Copy1 and Wey Copy2

[@alengreen589]

unfortunately the biggest problem will be the resale value.

[@jellyd4889]

If they invade Tai-wan => Resale value even lower than you think. This is maybe the only thing stopping them marching in.... The possibility of exports crashing.

[@MAR771N]

@@jellyd4889 loool. Tf u talking about

[@CanariesExplorer]

Premium cars used to be bought on pedigree, build quality, prestige, comfort and performance. Evs have now opened the floodgates to new Chinese and other entrants with no history in the same manner as marketing new washing machines or other home electrical appliances.

[@iamslf]

this is 💯 lincoln inspired.

[@Cloxxki]

Is it correct the weight is hundreds of kilos less than an Audi e-tron? If true quite impressive for a PHEV with 30 kWh more than typical.

[@mattiasefternamn8906]

Would be nice to compare to the Mazda CX-60. The CX-60 is to small for me even though I’m ”just” 192 cm. Hopefully Wey is bigger (and I get over my resistance to buy a fully chinese product).

[@joshbam]

they are similar in height 1.68-1.69cm.. you might need to look at something like the x5

[@juanpablocorreiaecheverria2857]

Can’t wait for the Wey Tea Sedan!

[@timhabich3113]

Never underestimate the Chinese. . They built their own space station in a year.

[@pemainmobile8007]

no physical button ?

Thought it was a Lincoln for the longest time while video played in the background

[@yissibiiyte]

GWM have recently arrived in my country and they've completely overturned the market. They offer cars for nearly half the price of brands such as Volkswagen, while also having far superior quality and standard equipment.

[@cartrack730]

Never giving my money China for a car. No way, no how. Don’t care what it is and how nice it is.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

This will sell out in the U.S guaranteed.

[@Kdc861]

Nice Kia RAV4.

[@dduyhai]

Our cameraman is called by his own name. How many reviewers do it? I love such appreciation.

[@autogefuehl]

we wouldnt think of anything else, what do others call them? Camera guy?

@@autogefuehl The name I often hear is the man behind the camera

[@autogefuehl]

hehe gotcha, yeah we are all friends on and off camera

[@李目-w9m]

I am from China, and I can tell you responsibly that this brand sells poorly in China, because its previous generation models have high fuel consumption and are very expensive.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks for the feedback, feel free to post more insight also to other Chinese brands reviews!

[@sparky6996]

I will buy this. Its perfect. I travel across Germany to the UK and back. Full electric is 100 percent absolutely no good to me in any way shape or form. In fact if the world goes full electric. Im pretty stuffed.

[@roboticvenom1935]

why are you stuffed? there will be charging stations

[@Macs]

@@roboticvenom1935 until the technology will reach a full recharge in the same time you do a fill a full tank, and the range became similar, then for whom does constantly long travels is a real step back in the amount of time lost.

[@MichaelMerten]

I want one of those. I'll get one as soon as Switzerland allows it.

[@roboticvenom1935]

switzerland yikes!

[@labibahmed9710]

Loookksss coooooooll man

[@skfunk4550]

This competes with the Dacia. I would still go for the Dacia but please, this should never be mentioned in same sentence with Mercedes or BMW 😁

[@drunkenwhiskeyeu]

Exactly. On the tech side it might not be crap, but the design certainly is :) Reminds me of those splashy, stupid American, chrome-y designs. Hard pass:)

[@WoodenViking]

Sorry but I’ll never drive anything called coffee, protein, casein, dog, funky cat, etc

[@AslKuc]

The name is a bit uninspiring. Coffee? The 01 is more than enough.

[@drunkenwhiskeyeu]

Not a chance. Partly, you are buying X5/GLE for the batch. Moreover, the names are just ridiculous:) I never was fond of Lincoln designs, and I very much dislike this one as well. So much chrome all over the place, very Chinese looking. I'll happily pay 20k extra for European stuff.

[@fmkl4492]

Ive driving china car geely, its good however after 4 years seems quality is getting loose compare to european cars

[@ДенисБарткевич-ш5п]

Tugella?

[@blakoemail]

How much does it cost ?

[@autogefuehl]

56 - 60 k Euros

[@blakoemail]

@@autogefuehl I think it is a little bit expensive compared to the legacy brands. I think it would be a success if they sell it for 40.000 to 50.000 Euros. If someone wants to spend 56 to 60.000 euros he might as well get a smaller SUV let's say a GLC or GLB or an X3. My main issue with this particular car, although I like it, it has nothing to do with it's badge but it's maintenance, service and reliability. A plug-in hybrid system has a lot of parts that might malfunction.

[@Just-a-guy926]

The real test with those seats is a 5 hour trip. Daft name though.

[@joetacchino4470]

I find it ironic that the exterior styling is clearly “inspired” by BMW while it’s wearing a Munich number plate.

[@philhare4439]

How much is it?

[@autogefuehl]

56 k Euros

[@iCoolaxe]

Hopefully the quality control with these Chinese cars is better than with their buildings.

[@kamsunleong6648]

They were recently awarded a 5 star rating by Euro NCAP. Is this proof enough?

[@cenk82]

No chance in Europe where Mercedes, BMW, Audi etc are in production. As well as Tesla Model Y.

[@Lacteagalaxia]

great product- price i think

[@richardjohnson5529]

Brian you say its 20k less euro from what price? and will it be sold in the UK? but its great that great wall are 100% Vegan interior,

[@autogefuehl]

20 k less than GLE and X5 PHEV for example

[@hdvoice]

The MSRP is about $42k FWD and $46k AWD in China. With 40kwh battery and 400+ horsepower.

[@Sha-Ayo]

More competition is good

[@barisozturk6373]

You didn’t say about fuel consumption- can you share this information in reality (not manufacturers)

[@orig_gee_man]

Wey not even in the same league as western cars. Ok, not even in the juinor league of South Korean or US made cars... Would wey even knock on the door of being an acceptable car like better than the Dacia Duster still woul never ever consider it to various reasons...

[@decafam3410]

Lincoln and Hyundai called and would like their design language back...... aside from the also-ran design, it appears well executed and a strong effort - lets see the crash results!

[@jchrisssinshs5058]

It has already earned 5 star Euro NCAP earlier this month.

[@fadd6895]

The people of Hong Kong were excited by Democracy !

[@clipsonplextorfield3230]

omg a real phev

[@sbomorse]

If Chinese cars are going to be taken seriously they need proper Western names. Nobody wants to drive a Coffee or a Funky Cat etc.

[@kamsunleong6648]

They do have some pretty cool names. Zeekr, Nio, Avatr and my personal favourite Ora Funky Cat, Punk Cat, Lighting Cat and Ballet Cat.

[@alexc9584]

Concerned about the viability of WEY. Manufacturing in China is in chaos at the moment with the Zero Covid policy impacting all manner of supply chains. Chinese companies also have less than transparent financial reporting. A good direction for the moment, and good to see they aren't simply copying other brands designs. Perhaps in 3-5 years?

[@natehiger410]

You know a little about China and here trying to be an expert, so funny.

[@盛天长歌]

一个厨师的本份是提供上乘的佳肴而不是有没有婚外情。欧洲人生活在美国人主导的舆论环境中，从出生起你们自身的价值判断就是被刻意塑造的。一个富裕团结的欧亚大陆是盎格鲁撒克逊人无论如何不能容忍的，因此他们不停在欧亚大陆的各个角落利用各种无底线的方式制造民族仇视、国家分裂。遍布全境的美军基地决定了德国不可能是真正的主权国家，事实上你们在精神和武力上同时被盎格鲁撒克逊人奴役而浑然不觉
