On April 24, the 2026 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition opened, and WEY introduced the “AI Luxury Six-Seater Flagship” WEY V9X. WEY CEO Zhao Yongpo announced the overseas plan for the WEY V9X, which will enter the Eurasian and Middle Eastern markets within the year. Over the past year, WEY has accumulated more than 700,000 global users.
The Guiyuan S Platform is a technical platform developed by Great Wall Automobile based on the Guiyuan concept, aimed at providing high-quality travel product solutions for global users. WEY CEO Zhao Yongpo stated that the Guiyuan S Platform innovates at the underlying architecture level, compatible with five power forms: plug-in hybrid, hybrid, pure electric, efficient fuel, and hydrogen energy, covering the full range of global vehicle usage scenarios. The vehicle hardware is atomized into more than 300 reusable component units, ensuring free cross-model invocation and seamless cross-power collaboration.
As the first flagship model of the Guiyuan S Platform, the WEY V9X offers three power models: pure electric BEV, plug-in hybrid PHEV, and hybrid HEV. The WEY V9X, based on Great Wall’s full-stack self-developed capabilities, has created the “Cabin-Drive Integration, Brain-Hand Coordination” native AI Cabin-Drive Intelligent Body. The cabin intelligent body can recognize people and remember events, providing personalized services to passengers based on the situation; the driving intelligent body achieves defensive driving prediction, CoT cognitive thinking chain reasoning, and voice control of the vehicle.
In terms of power, the WEY V9X combines a 2.0T engine + 4-speed dedicated hybrid transmission + 800V high-voltage architecture + 6C ultra-fast charging in the Super Hi4 hybrid architecture. With the 2.0T Super Hi4 support, the WEY V9X achieves a “dual four-second level” acceleration performance on full and depleted battery. The 80kWh high-capacity battery combined with 6C ultra-fast charging allows efficient energy replenishment.
The WEY V9X focuses on design details and user experience, adopting an MPV space concept to create a six-seater premium experience. The long-wheelbase version, based on a 5299mm length and 3150mm wheelbase, achieves an ultra-high room-to-space ratio of 70.2%, with spacious second and third-row seating. All passengers have a good position, and the 192mm wide aisle allows adults to pass through comfortably, accommodating 6 people and 5 pieces of 20-inch luggage.
In terms of detailed design, the WEY V9X features charging docks on the door panels of the co-driver and second row, with disembarkation reminders; third-row sunshades, large armrests, large cup straps, 22-point zero-gravity massage seats with leg support and massage, and 48 storage spaces.The quality of the WEY V9X is reflected in its power, space, and comfort configurations. The WEY V9X features a seven-dimensional holistic safety system, with a high-strength steel, magnesium alloy, and aluminum alloy composition ratio of up to 88%, and a maximum strength of 2200 MPa. In terms of active safety, the vehicle is equipped with AEB, RAEB, and AES emergency steering assistance systems, achieving stable control even at 160km/h with double tire blowouts. It also features dual-layer hardware and software privacy encryption.
