AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/25 Report--

On August 24th, the WEY brand of Great Wall released a trailer map of the new retro-styled concept car, with the interior code "V72" and positioning the SUV model. It is understood that the new WEY retro concept car will be officially unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show.

From the preview map, the new car will adopt a retro design, and the front face will be modeled on the design style of the classic car in the 1950s and 1960s, and the visual effect is unique. In terms of the details of the new car, the protruding eyebrows and lights on both sides of the new car are very conspicuous, while the bottom is surrounded by the classic car style of chrome plating. As a result, it is speculated that the new car will have a unique design in the intelligent interior, but the details have yet to be officially released and we will continue to pay attention.

For this new retro concept car, some netizens commented that "this is not the PT rover." Most people know the Jeep brand, from the horse herder to the compass, these models have left a deep impression on consumers, but the mention of Chrysler is relatively unfamiliar, and only the 300C and Dajielong are known by some people in the market, while many people have no impression of PT walkers at all, and they were once regarded as one of the ugliest design models. According to Chrysler officials, the PT walker is a compact hatchback with a 4288/1748/1665mm body size.

Unlike modern models, PT walkers use very retro designs, especially towering engine cabins and high waistlines, which have to remind consumers of cars in the 1940s, while the forward grille decorated with chrome strips and the Chrysler flying wing logo are highly recognizable. In terms of power, the PT rover is equipped with a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 146hp and a peak torque of 224N ·m. Judging from the data, it is naturally impossible to compare with the models currently on the market, but if you put it in that year, the performance of PT walkers is not bad.

From the point of view of this model, its front face is indeed similar to that of the PT walker, but the design of the headlight group is different, similar to FAW Great Liberation. Therefore, the front face of WEY's new retro concept car is more like the combination of PT rover and FAW Great Liberation.

The WEY brand has been trying to renovate its brand over the past year, and coffee-based mochas, macchiato and lattes are being launched one after another, and the macchiato will officially announce its pre-sale price at the Chengdu auto show. It is not clear whether the new retro model in this preview represents the next development direction of the WEY brand.
