Great Wall Motor's premium Wey brand has taken the wraps off the second-generation Lanshan, a boxy, six-seat plug-in hybrid SUV (PHEV) that marks a bold departure from its predecessor's rounded family look. The global debut took place on October 27, according to NetEase Auto, with sales expected to begin before the end of the year.
Design and dimensions
The new Lanshan adopts an 'external square, internal round' design language, featuring a large chrome grille with an illuminated Wey badge and retro circular headlights set within square housings. A flat roofline, wide wheel arches, and a rear-mounted spare tire cover with a side-hinged tailgate give it a rugged, off-road-ready stance. The car retains traditional mechanical door handles for practicality.
Two body styles are offered: a five-seat version measuring 5,140 mm long, and a six-seat long-wheelbase version at 5,300 mm, both sharing a 3,010 mm wheelbase. The extra length in the six-seat variant is allocated to the third row and cargo area, ensuring space for fully loaded trips. Tire options include 255/60 R20 and 275/50 R21.
Powertrain and chassis
The core upgrade lies in the powertrain. The Lanshan swaps to a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with GWM's Hi4 plug-in hybrid four-wheel-drive system, featuring a 182 kW engine, a 110 kW front motor, and a 220 kW rear motor, coupled with a four-speed DHT transmission. Two battery options are available: a 53.6 kWh pack offering 220 km of pure electric range and 6.80 L/100 km fuel consumption, and a 64.7 kWh pack with 270 km of range and 6.90 L/100 km. The vehicle supports 800V fast charging with 6C capability, significantly improving charging efficiency.
Higher trims include dual-chamber air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and a differential lock, allowing the Lanshan to balance urban comfort, highway stability, and off-road capability. The car also features vehicle-to-load (V2L) discharge for camping and long-distance travel.
Smart features and interior
On the technology front, the Lanshan is equipped with a roof-mounted lidar, an NVIDIA Thor-U chip paired with a Qualcomm 8797 processor, and GWM's self-developed VLA (Vision-Language-Action) model. The new Coffee Pilot system supports highway and city NOA (navigation on autopilot), enabling advanced driver assistance in urban environments. The cabin runs the latest Coffee OS with multi-screen connectivity and a 23-speaker Dolby Atmos sound system.
Inside, the Lanshan offers both five-seat and 2+2+2 six-seat layouts, with Nappa leather seats, multi-way electric adjustment, ventilation, heating, and massage functions, plus a refrigerator and multi-zone climate control. The boxy design provides generous headroom, catering to families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
The first-generation Lanshan established itself as a benchmark in the family six-seat luxury segment. The second generation aims to broaden its appeal, targeting the 300,000 yuan (about $42,300) price band, a Chinese guide price before taxes and incentives. Wey plans to release full specifications and pricing later this year.
