On May 21, 2021, the “Moli Awakening and Rebirth” WEY MOCHA launch conference was held in Beijing as the WEY brand’s new flagship model. The MOCHA series includes five versions: the Special Fragrance Edition, the Special Rich Edition, the Special Rich Edition 4WD, the Special Mellow Edition, and the Special Mellow Edition 4WD, priced at RMB 175,800, RMB 187,800, RMB 202,800, RMB 203,800, and RMB 218,800, respectively.
Current owner benefits include:
- The first owner can enjoy 5 years of free basic maintenance, a 5-year or 150,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, and free lifetime engine and transmission maintenance.
- Lifetime free basic traffic services and smart connected services.
- Up to 36 periods with zero interest, up to RMB 7,000 in exchange subsidies, and for exchange users before June 30th, a free NOH (Highway Pilot) will be offered.
According to official sources from Great Wall, the WEY MOCHA completed a 70.33-kilometer self-driving challenge before its launch, setting a world record for “the longest distance driven by an intelligent vehicle using autonomous driving on a highway.” Yao Anna, the spokesperson for MOCHA, and the second daughter of Ren Zhengfei, stated at the launch conference that “domestic products represent the future.”
As the current mainstream fuel vehicle emphasizing intelligent configuration, MOCHA is equipped with HWA (Highway Driving Assistance), an L2 level autonomous driving feature. In the future, this can be upgraded to NOH (high-speed automatic navigation assistance combined with high-precision maps). Later this year, a laser radar Special Mellow Edition will be launched, enabling HWP (Highway Guide Driving), an L3 level autonomous driving feature. The strong and impressive intelligent parking function was also a highlight of the performance test.
In terms of intelligent cockpit, MOCHA adopts Qualcomm’s 8155 chip as its configuration, which is currently among the top tier on the market. It supports advanced digital configurations including AR-HUD with equivalent functionality to the latest S-class Mercedes-Benz, and the most noticeable aspect is the response speed of the car’s system.
MOCHA’s services can be accessed through in-car functions, which provide one-stop solutions for maintenance, evaluation, vehicle insurance, rescue, car washing, fueling, and other car services. OTA upgrading is also supported. The “I want to complain” function also enables owners to directly send feedback to the product department using voice commands.The Mocha is equipped with the world’s first transversely mounted 9-speed dual-clutch transmission and integrated with a 48V BSG hybrid system. The intake cooling method is a water-cooled intercooler, which is also the first of its kind among domestic cars. The latest generation of the Han de electric control four-wheel drive system and multiple aluminum alloy suspension components are also important factors to ensure excellent driving quality for this 5-seater SUV with a wheelbase of up to 2,915 mm.
