WEY’s new VV6 brings out the luxury technology style

Hello everyone, welcome to Xinyi’s column where Master Lei talks about cars.

I am a hard-core straight man named Lei who is positioned as the best photographer in the car circle and the most knowledgeable about cars in the photography circle.

Today we will talk about WEY VV6, which is known as the light of domestic SUVs and the savior of the new generation of young people.

As a strong dark horse that has suddenly emerged in the domestic SUV industry and the parent brand of the WEY series, Great Wall has gone from being an unknown township enterprise to becoming the double champion in SUV and pickup sales. The rise of the Great Wall brand has been We have gone through many difficult roads. But it was not until the emergence of WEY that Wei Jianjun's dream of becoming a high-value brand was gradually realized.

As early as 2017, WEY launched VV7 and VV5 successively, with very precise positioning. With its extremely sharp appearance design and price of less than 180,000, VV7 quickly captured the hearts of domestic consumers who have no money but want to pursue it. The younger generation of consumers who dream of luxury cars.

After this, VV6 was launched. It is not difficult to see from the name that VV6 is positioned right between VV7 and VV5. Of course, this mainly refers to the body size and pricing. In terms of technological configuration, VV6, which has the advantage of being a latecomer, has many technological configurations that are obviously better than VV7. After VV6 has undergone the upgrade from the 2020 model to the 2019 model, the gap between the two in smart configurations has become even more obvious.

In addition, from the beginning, the manufacturer positioned VV6 as a family luxury style, and it was no longer as sporty as VV7. After all, the once wild and unruly boy has grown into a mature man who needs to take care of the elderly and children. It’s natural that tastes in car selection have changed.

In terms of appearance, it goes without saying that the overall styling still adheres to the design style of the WEY series. Needless to say, the shocking effect brought by the 19-inch oversized wheels is needless to say. As the old saying goes, beauty comes first. Looking at the legs, the overall appearance of the vehicle is often brought about by the wheels.

As for the front face, compared to VV7, the front face of VV6 is obviously less aggressive and more refined and luxurious. For example, the size of the air intake under the front of the car is not that big. However, although the size has been reduced, the inside of the air intake is equipped with a mesh grille made of the same material as the grille.

VV6 is also slightly smaller than VV7, but this time VV6 can be equipped with additional optional laser headlights and pixel headlights. In the past, it was said that Audi was the lighting city of Europe, but now the Chinese are not ambiguous when it comes to headlights. In addition to the laser headlights that can illuminate up to 600 meters away, the pixel headlights can also actively recognize road signs and project them on the road. Unfortunately, the test drive model I got did not have these two configurations, so I was not able to Let’s actually play with these two black technology configurations. Of course, these two configurations are not cheap, costing 10,000 and 35,000 respectively.

From the side, the wheels of VV6 are 19 inches, which is one inch smaller than that of VV7. However, looking from the side of the actual car, there is basically no difference. This is mainly because the body size of VV6 itself is one size smaller than that of VV7. .

As for the C-pillar part, VV6 uses a Z-shaped chrome-plated decorative strip for finishing, forming the feeling of a suspended roof.

In the rear part of the car, except for the shape of the exhaust pipe, the two are different ( VV6 has four round exhausts on both sides, while VV7 has a square exhaust.) The overall shape design is basically the same. The difference is that VV6 is 65 mm taller than VV7, but 70 mm narrower than VV7, so visually VV6 has a more elegant and luxurious temperament. The VV7 has a lower body movement.

Entering the VV6 car, the technological configurations such as the streaming rearview mirror, electronic gear lever, 12.3-inch central control screen, facial recognition system, Infinity 12 speakers, etc. are really dazzling, and it is filled with a strong sense of technology. Filled the entire cockpit.

VV6 and VV7 both use three-spoke steering wheels. To show the difference, the two pillars at the bottom of the steering wheel of VV6 tend to be separated, while those of VV7 are retracted. Perhaps due to the limitations of the space inside the car, the physical button control area of ??the VV6 air conditioner has also been moved from below the central air outlet of the VV7 to a position further down near the gear handle. Although this saves space, the air conditioning control buttons are harder to find and control.

The storage tank located under the air-conditioning button is equipped with a wireless charging area for mobile phones. I want to complain here that the surface texture of this wireless charging area is too smooth and has a certain angle. If the mobile phone is placed on top, it will easily slide out of the charging area while driving, causing charging failure. I often have to distract myself to check the placement of the mobile phone while driving. This is very inhumane and I hope the manufacturer can improve it.

The most curious thing is the raised sensor located on the driver's side of the A-pillar. This outwardly protruding sensor is actually designed to identify the driver's current fatigue status and remind the driver through sound and other alarm measures until the vehicle stops.

This system is integrated into WEY's latest single-lane intelligent driving assistance system. This system can achieve a speed range of 60-120km/h through the millimeter-wave radar, front-view camera and ADAS map installed on the front of the car. In single-lane lanes within /h, follow the vehicle in front or drive at a fixed speed.

The size of the instrument panel is the same as the central control screen at 12.3 inches. It is rare for models of the same class to have such a large LCD instrument panel. The vehicle status information is conveniently displayed on one page on the instrument panel. It can all be displayed, and the instrument panel has a very high resolution and looks like a luxury car.

The Infinity 12-speaker luxury audio with ANC active noise reduction function installed in the car is another major feature of VV6. Active noise reduction technology alone is generally the most popular among American brands. The basic principle is to collect engine and road noise outside the car, and emit sound waves of the same waveform outwards inside the car to offset the noise introduced into the car from the outside world. I personally don't feel much about this. The noise outside the car doesn't seem to be offset much by the active noise reduction system.

The sound quality adjustment of the car audio is more bass-oriented, and the mid- and high-pitched sounds have an average texture. This is very similar to the sound quality of Beats headphones, which is very suitable for listening to R&B or heavy metal rock with a strong sense of rhythm. kind of songs.

In terms of comfort, the front seats of VV6 are very thick, and the driver's seat has 12-way electric adjustment (including 4-way lumbar adjustment), which makes it easy to adjust the sitting posture. But the problem is that even though the waist can have a 4-way adjustment function, I still feel that the waist support is insufficient and not very comfortable after driving for a long time.

In terms of power, the engine configuration of VV6 is the same as that of VV7. Both are equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 167kW and a maximum torque of 387Nm. The data is not eye-catching, but in sports mode, the speed increases rapidly. According to online data, the VV6 accelerates from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in about 7.64 seconds, which is faster than the VV7, which looks more sporty. After all, the curb weight of the VV6 is only 1730kg, while the VV7 is fully There is 1920, the difference between the two is 190kg.

The suspension performance is almost as expected, with MacPherson struts in the front and double-wishbone independent suspension in the rear, which is more comfortable configuration, with soft shock absorption and excellent shock filtering performance. However, the suspension lacks support for the body, and the body roll will be more obvious in corners.

Finally, VV6 has a clear positioning as a home luxury model, and the technological quality of the whole car is very good. There are many technological configurations in the current automotive field that are not necessarily available in 400,000-class models, but VV6 has them all. Can provide. However, from the paint gradually peeling off the plastic parts of the steering wheel inside the test car, as well as the noise transmitted from the road into the car, it can be seen that WEY still has many car-making details that need to be improved. However, looking at the market, VV6 still has great appeal to the younger generation of consumers who have just started a family with its rich intelligent technology configuration and exquisite and sharp appearance design. In the end, the overall competitiveness is still very high at the same level. Strong momentum.
