The hybrid crossover houses a gasoline engine paired with two electric motors, delivering up to 295 horsepower for the entire powertrain. Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h is achieved in about 5 seconds, while average fuel consumption rests around 7.7 liters per 100 kilometers. The claimed driving range extends to roughly 864 kilometers on a full charge and fuel fill combined, positioning the Wey V71 as a competitive option in the European and North American markets looking for efficiency with performance.
Inside, the Wey 05 cabin features a directional head-up display along with an electronic instrument cluster. Climate control is managed through a touchscreen interface that provides haptic feedback, offering tactile reassurance during operation. This setup reflects a trend toward integrated, driver-focused digital dashboards in modern crossovers and premium mid-size SUVs.
Wey brand representatives indicated that vehicles bearing the Wey name will begin to appear in the Russian market. The announcement came during a press briefing from Great Wall Motor, the parent company behind Haval, Tank, Wey, and Ora brands, highlighting a broader strategy to expand electrified and hybrid offerings in the region.
