It’s a pity that a high-end luxury SUV, which weighs nearly 2 tons3, can hit 100km/h in 6.5 seconds, but cannot be sold for less than 26w.

Speaking of the WEY brand, I think it is still very popular today. For example, VV7, as the first model of the brand, is still very popular, and it is still very popular when you see it on the street. As one of the first luxury brands launched by Chinese car companies, WEY’s origins and background need no introduction. For example, the VV7, a medium-sized SUV, sold more than 10,000 units in the first month of its launch. Even the original CR-V and Tiguan L had to deal with it. Be very careful, you may be overtaken in sales if you are not careful. However, as the competition in the automobile market becomes more and more fierce, WEY, a domestic high-end luxury brand, also lacks confidence, and sales began to decline. Until today, VV's monthly sales in July have stabilized at around 2,000 units. But in fact, the SUV with poor sales in the WEY family is not the VV7, but the brand's first plug-in hybrid SUV. One year after the launch of the VV7 model, the WEY brand launched the P8 model. As the first new energy model, its competitor is undoubtedly BYD Tang, and it is not just as simple as adding a motor on the basis of the VV7. The product strength of the P8 It can be said to be the top technical level of the WEY brand, so the manufacturer has also given a very "confident" pricing. 259,800-279,800 is its guide price after subsidies. There are three models in the whole series, but currently these three models None of them meet the National VI emission standards. It is worth mentioning that according to the quotation in the terminal market, the WEY P8 model now has a considerable price reduction. For example, the guide price of the lowest model is less than 260,000, but now it has dropped to just over 200,000. Unfortunately, whether it is 260,000 or 200,000, Very few people bought it. Judging from the recent zero sales for many consecutive months, it can be considered a failed SUV. As mentioned just now, WEY P8 is very closely related to VV7. It can even be said that it is a plug-in hybrid VV7 model, but there are still many differences in design between the two. For example, the front grille has a huge integrated grille outer ring decorated with chrome trim, which looks more exaggerated than the VV7, and the top model is all black, giving it a more sporty feel. However, the headlights on both sides have no bright spots. They are still familiar with the WEY family language. The full LED matrix light source is naturally standard for the entire series, ensuring that the visual effect is sufficiently refined and classy. But when it is put together with BYD Tang, who is more in line with the current mainstream aesthetics? Although WEY brand positioning is more high-end, many details still need to be upgraded and improved. Of course, although WEY P8 is a medium-sized SUV, its size performance is beyond the standard. For example, the length, width and height of 4760*1931*1655mm are considered normal, but the wheelbase of 2950mm is outstanding. This is simply the difference between many medium and large SUVs. It doesn't have the same level as the previous one, so you don't have to worry about its riding space, it's slightly better than the Tang. However, from the side design, it is basically no different from the VV7. The standard 20-inch wheels of the whole series are very sincere, but does this make the top model lose its characteristics? Therefore, we think that a 21-inch model can be added to its top configuration, even if it is optional. The tail design still maintains the style of VV7, which is why the highlights of WEY P8 are not outstanding enough, but the four exhausts are undoubtedly very impressive, and considering its performance, it is very consistent with this design. As a Chinese luxury brand, the P8 model is also the flagship of the family, so the interior continues to be consistent with the VV7, but there are also some shortcomings. At the very least, the same design will bring surprises in terms of workmanship and materials. Obviously, the P8 did not pay attention to these details. The simple shape of the center console looks quite comfortable, but the materials and colors are not high-end. Even though the soft materials cover most parts of the car, the visual effect does not show the high-end feeling it should have. Of course, it is definitely much more luxurious than BYD Tang. From the configuration point of view, it is a domestically produced SUV with a guide price starting at around 260,000 yuan. Features such as full LCD instruments, openable panoramic sunroof, front seat heating, and 9-speaker audio are all standard equipment for mid-to-high-end models. There are also driving assistance systems such as parallel assist, active braking, and adaptive cruise. In terms of power, when many consumers talk about plug-in hybrid models, the first two words that come to mind are performance. As a representative of China's luxury SUVs, WEY P8 has a 2.0T+ motor that allows it to have a combined power of 340 horsepower and a torque of It has 524N·m, matched with Getrag 6-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, and compared with VV7, it has a timely four-wheel drive system. The official acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is 6.5 seconds, and the actual test is basically around 6.3 seconds. For a medium-sized SUV weighing 2.3 tons, this performance is already very good, and the minimum fuel consumption given by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is only 2.3L. . But having said that, compared with the Tang DM version, its performance does not seem to have an advantage. After all, the latter can break 100 in 4.5 seconds, and the price is comparable, so the sales volume of P8 has not been very good since it was launched. Summary: Although WEY is a Chinese luxury brand, many details still need to be paid attention to. Compared with luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, there is definitely a gap in brand influence, and the technical foundation is incomparable. As the flagship of the family, P8 has become full of strong rivals after its launch. For example, one model of Tang DM is enough to make it lose most of the market. After all, in the field of new energy, BYD is sometimes more convincing than Mercedes-Benz. In addition, the launch of VV7 PHEV , P8 naturally cannot be sold.
