GWM has shown the second-generation Wey Lanshan in China. Known as the Wey 07 in overseas markets, the large SUV is expected to reach sales by the end of the year. Its new, more angular styling sets it apart from the Haval H10, whose platform it shares, while GWM is positioning it as a more luxurious option. The article also frames the model as a challenger to BYD’s Denza B5. Pricing for the new Lanshan has not yet been announced.
The plug-in hybrid pairs a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine rated at 247 hp with two electric motors and a four-speed DHT transmission. Combined output is 696 hp. Buyers will be offered 53.6-kWh and 66.6-kWh batteries, with claimed electric-only ranges of 220 km and 270 km, respectively, on the WLTC cycle. GWM has not disclosed torque figures.
A dual-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel steering are among the chassis upgrades. The latter is intended to improve maneuverability at low speeds and stability at higher speeds. The SUV has a 3.01-meter wheelbase and measures 5.14 meters long as a five-seater or 5.30 meters in the six-seat configuration; it is 2.05 meters wide and 1.96 meters tall. Other features include 21-inch wheels, a side-opening tailgate with an externally mounted spare wheel, and a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor working with cameras on the front fenders. For comparison, the Haval H10 starts at 201,800 yuan in China and has a 598-hp plug-in hybrid system.
