WEY V9X Launches at ¥349,800, Offers PHEV with Plans for HEV and BEV Versions

Great Wall Motor’s premium brand WEY has officially launched the V9X, offering three variants priced from RMB 349,800. All launch models feature the Super Hi4 plug-in hybrid powertrain, with HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) and BEV (battery electric vehicle) versions to follow. The V9X is the first mass-produced model based on Great Wall’s Guiyuan S platform, positioned as an “AI-powered luxury six-seater flagship.” The Guiyuan S platform leverages three core technical approaches—standardized hardware interfaces, labeled software functions, and AI-native architecture—to enable flexible integration and invocation of vehicle features, delivering strong functional scalability. Exterior design blends aesthetics inspired by traditional Chinese architecture, featuring clean, straight lines and a restrained yet imposing proportion. The illuminated floating emblem draws inspiration from the flagpoles in front of the Zhili Governor’s Office in Baoding. The V9X is available in two wheelbase configurations: the standard-wheelbase version measures 5,205 mm in length with a 3,050 mm wheelbase, while the long-wheelbase variant adds 84 mm to the length and 100 mm to the wheelbase, with identical width and height dimensions. Inside, the cabin adopts WEY’s signature design language, highlighted by a large dual-screen setup, a full LCD instrument cluster, a two-spoke steering wheel, and orange leather accents to create a tech-forward and luxurious ambiance. The front row includes dual cup holders, a wireless charging pad, and a column-mounted gear selector. As a six-seater SUV, the second row features zero-gravity seats with leg rests, overhead entertainment screens, foldable tables, and integrated wireless charging in the door handles. The third-row seats offer massage functionality. Powering the V9X is the Super Hi4 hybrid system, comprising a 2.0T turbocharged engine, a dedicated 4-speed hybrid transmission, an 800V high-voltage electrical architecture, and 6C ultra-fast charging technology. With a full charge, the vehicle achieves a 0–100 km/h acceleration time in the 4-second range. The chassis is equipped with a rear-wheel steering system offering a wide steering angle and a closed-loop dual-chamber air suspension. On the intelligent driving front, the ADAS system—built on AI agent technology—boasts capabilities described as “understanding voice commands, perceiving surroundings, and reasoning like a human.” It can identify risks and execute defensive driving strategies. A new Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning card function visually illustrates the system’s risk assessment logic, enhancing user trust. Voice-controlled vehicle functions and other interactive features have also been further refined.
