Great Wall Motor's premium brand Wey has unveiled its latest innovation in the automotive market. The Gaoshan 7, a sophisticated MPV, was launched with much anticipation, showcasing a plethora of advanced features and a robust powertrain. This new offering aims to redefine the standard for mid-to-large-sized MPVs by blending luxury with cutting-edge technology, all for a starting price of around $40,000.
The launch event, held on October 15th, marked a significant milestone for Wey, introducing the Gaoshan 7—a mid-to-large-sized MPV that promises to deliver both performance and style. The vehicle is crafted with Wey's latest design language, characterized by a striking chrome waterfall grille that seamlessly integrates with the headlights, and prominent air ducts accentuated with chrome trim. The Gaoshan 7's dimensions, measuring 5050mm in length, 1960mm in width, and 1900mm in height, alongside a wheelbase of 3085mm, contribute to its commanding presence on the road. The exterior design is further enhanced with electric sliding doors and a floating roof design, offering a modern aesthetic appeal.
Inside, the Gaoshan 7 is a testament to luxury and advanced technology. The cabin is equipped with a 15.6-inch 2.5K dual screen setup, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 26-inch SR-HUD (Head-Up Display), providing drivers with an immersive and interactive experience. The seven-seat layout follows a 2+2+3 configuration, where the second row features independent seats with electric adjustment, ventilation, and heating functions. For those seeking an even more luxurious experience, an optional zero-gravity massage seat package is available. This focus on comfort and technology positions the Gaoshan 7 as a leader in its class.
Under the hood, the Gaoshan 7 is powered by Great Wall Motor's Hi4 Performance Version intelligent four-wheel drive hybrid technology. This powertrain integrates range extension, parallel hybrid, and direct drive modes, culminating in a total system output of 337 kW (452 hp). The vehicle's capabilities are further enhanced by the Coffee Pilot Ultra system, which supports highway and urban NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) capabilities and intelligent parking assistance, making it a formidable contender in the hybrid MPV segment.
The Gaoshan 7 is equipped with a comprehensive sensor suite, including two 8-megapixel front-facing cameras, a 128-line LiDAR, three millimeter-wave radars, twelve ultrasonic radars, four surround-view cameras, four side-view cameras, and one rear-view camera. These sensors are processed by a Nvidia Orin X chip, ensuring seamless integration and functionality of the vehicle's autonomous features. Additional premium features include a ceiling-mounted entertainment screen for rear passengers, a hot-and-cold refrigerator, folding tables, wireless phone charging, and an electronic gear selector, all designed to enhance the driving and passenger experience.
Wey's introduction of the Gaoshan 7 into the market highlights Great Wall Motor's commitment to innovation and excellence in the EV sector. With its blend of luxurious design, advanced technology, and powerful performance, the Gaoshan 7 sets a new benchmark for MPVs. As the market for hybrid vehicles continues to expand, Wey's latest offering stands out as a symbol of progress, potentially influencing future designs in the automotive industry.
