AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/10 Report--

Not long ago, Great Wall launched a Harvard Big Dog model named after the Zoo Department, and today it launched a new off-road SUV trailer map under its high-end brand WEY. Although there is too much information about the new model, the released picture shows a slight resemblance to the previously released Harvard Dog.

For both new models, Great Wall, the leader of China's SUV models, has gradually shifted from the traditional urban SUV style to a more hardline off-road style. It is reported that the new car, code-named P01, will be built on the same platform as Harvard H9 and is expected to be mass-produced by the end of 2020 and go on sale in 2021.

From the trailer chart released, the new car does not adopt the design style of the VV series models of the WEY brand, but uses a very strong design language as a whole, and the styling of founder looks obviously hardline at first glance. The protruding engine compartment with the protruding wheel arch on the front face is also quite wild. At the same time, the headlamp group adopts a circular design, and the middle LED lamp belt is designed with upper and lower rectangle.

In addition, it can be seen from an official design sketch that the new car will have an external spare tire. And the top luggage rack not only improves the practicability, but also adds the off-road flavor. It is reported that the WEY P01 is expected to use a non-load-bearing body structure, and may provide three differential locks optional configuration. In this regard, from the overall design style, the car will be different from all the previous Great Wall models, completely presented in a hard-line off-road style.

For Great Wall WEY's new car, many netizens also said that its appearance is still somewhat plagiarized, not only like JEEP's horse herder and freelancer, but even similar to Toyota's FJ. Feel still can not get rid of "plagiarism", the previous Harvard H9 is also copied Toyota's "overbearing".

Of course, there are many netizens looking forward to Harvard's new hard cross-country, and some netizens think that as the leading brand of SUV in China, they still have confidence in the technology of Great Wall Automobile. And this series model, codenamed P01, will also give the Great Wall a car that really belongs to the "hardline off-road".

In terms of power, it is reported that the model is expected to be equipped with a 2.0T engine of the EN series, which meets the national 6b emission standards. The maximum power of EN03 engine is 180kW and the peak torque is 385Nm. In terms of transmission, it is expected to match the 8-block self-integrated transmission.

It is not clear how the model will be named, but a trademark that Great Wall has previously applied for registration shows that one is "WEY comfortable" and may be named for a new model.
