Yesterday the first electric network from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the latest batch of "road motor vehicle production enterprises and product announcement" to obtain the WEY's new medium-sized SUV yuanmeng of the declaration information. The new car continues the retro design style when the concept car, will use the DHT plug-in hybrid system, it is reported that the new car will be officially launched in the second quarter of this year.
The earliest debut in 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, different from other models on the market, WEY yuanmeng with a classical shape, officially called the "new generation of retro tide driving", power, the new car is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of 1.5T + electric motor.
The length, width, and height of the Dream are 4830*1995*1725mm and the wheelbase is 2915mm, which is a medium-sized SUV in terms of size, but considering its long front cabin, the ride space performance may not be too outstanding.
In addition, the entire exterior of the Roundel looks like a 100-year-old vintage car, with a large horizontal center grille at the front that extends to the sides and an exposed chrome bumper below. The headlights are set on the protruding front wings, and the round headlight style is both retro and cute enough.
The sidelines draw on the classic curves of traditional mid-century cars, and the rear end also features a prominent tailgate design. The retro design aesthetic is further emphasized in detail with oval rear view mirrors, chrome trim on the front wings, and chrome door handles. The rear tail light cluster is a simple oval design and embellished with an LED light source, retro to not lack practicality.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that the rear windows, mirrors, and even wheel sizes of the WEY yuanmeng model can be optional, different shapes to create a personalized retro appearance.
In terms of power, the Dream will be equipped with DHT plug-in hybrid system, the engine used is the model E15BD 1.5T engine, and its maximum power is 115kW (156 hp). At the same time, the new car will also provide a total of two forms of drive, two-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive, depending on the configuration.
Some media predict that the price of the WEY Dream will be more than 300,000 yuan, and the benchmark models will be luxury models such as Audi Q5L, BMW X3, and even Mercedes-Benz GLC. As the only medium-sized retro-styled SUV on the market, the WEY yuanmeng can indeed be said to have seized the first opportunity of retro-styled cars, but such high pricing is destined to make the yuanmeng lose a certain degree of cost performance, I am cautious about the sales prospects of the WEY yuanmeng wait and see.
