On May 13, the new Mocha Hi4 of the Wei brand, which is positioned as a large five-seat flagship SUV, was officially launched, with a guide price of 238,800 yuan. From the price point of view, the new Mocha Hi4 of the WEY brand will directly face the mid-size SUV market of luxury brands and strive to enter the mainstream. So, from the perspective of product power, how does the new Mocha Hi4 of the WEY brand perform?
With the blessing of the large five-seat layout, the new Mocha is still comfortable
As a high-end brand under the Great Wall, WEY brand has changed from the "VV era" to the "coffee era", although the product power continues to evolve, but the brand's views on comfort and luxury are constant.
In terms of exterior design, the new Mocha Hi4 is basically the same as the current model (2023 model).
In terms of appearance, the new car is based on the design language of "natural new environment aesthetics", through the double-layer structure of the front face and a slightly slippery body posture, creating an elegant and dynamic design experience.
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the new Mocha Hi4 are 4881/1960/1690mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2915mm. The size of the new Mocha Hi4 is actually slightly larger than that of luxury mid-size SUVs such as the Audi Q5L and BMW X3. The larger size also provides a good space foundation for the new Mocha Hi4.
Inside, the cabin layout of the new Mocha has not been significantly changed.
The narrow LCD instrument panel with a large central control screen and lower control screen creates a modern technological look, which is in line with its identity positioning as a new energy model.
However, it is worth mentioning that the new Mocha's in-car system is equipped with the updated Coffee OS 2. At the same time, based on iFLYTEK's voice assistant, the new car can support 2 minutes of unlimited voice commands, coupled with HUD head-up display, 50w wireless charging slot and other configurations, which can also improve the convenience of the vehicle during use.
After having a wealth of intelligent cockpit configurations, the new Mocha Hi4 has also been upgraded for the intelligent driving system.
Based on the perception element composed of 22 radar + cameras in the whole car, the new Mocha Hi4 provides consumers with a high-speed HOA intelligent driving function, which can fully reduce the driving intensity and improve the smooth travel experience in long-distance travel scenarios.
In terms of comfort, thanks to the wheelbase of more than 2.9 meters and the space setting of the large five-seater, the front and rear space of the new Mocha Hi4 are relatively abundant. On top of that, the new Mocha Hi4 is also designed with wide and comfortable ergonomic seats, from leather to padding to headrests and other details, which are enough to benchmark the performance of mainstream luxury brands.
It can be seen that in terms of basic vehicle design, space comfort division, etc., the new Mocha Hi4 still comes up with a high enough standard. For such a model, it can be said that the initial characteristics of high competitiveness are established.
The powertrain has been completely renewed, and the Hi4 is more comprehensive
In the past two years, Great Wall's drive technology has been greatly improved, and WEY brand has also popularized plug-in hybrid systems on a large scale, making its models more energy-saving and more performant. One of the biggest features of the new Mocha Hi4 is the use of the new Hi4 intelligent electric hybrid four-wheel drive system. The introduction of the new powertrain has brought a series of changes to the new Mocha Hi4.
First of all, the overall performance of the new Mocha Hi4 has been enhanced.
The 1.5T engine and the front and rear dual-axle drive motors bring the performance parameters of 350kW and 760N·m of comprehensive power to the vehicle, with a 000 acceleration time of only 4.7 seconds and a maximum climbing angle of 70%.
It is worth mentioning that even in the fed state, the new Mocha Hi4 can provide strong power performance for the vehicle. The 4-speed electric hybrid transmission of this car can cover almost all direct drive speed ranges, and can provide enough strong power for the vehicle under long-distance continuous travel, battery feeding and other working conditions.
In terms of all-wheel drive performance, the Mocha Hi4 has a 150kW high-performance electric motor on the rear axle, which means that the rear wheels of the vehicle will become the main driving wheels of the electric drive. The well-balanced power distribution, combined with the iTVC torque vectoring control system, allows the torque of the new Mocha Hi4 to be freely distributed between 100:0 and 0:100 between the front and rear axles. When the front and rear wheels slip, the system will automatically distribute the power to the wheels with grip to avoid slippage on ice and snow roads, improve the vehicle's ability to get out of trouble and off-road, and realize the further expansion of travel scenarios.
Finally, in terms of economy, the new Mocha Hi4 not only covers high-performance four-wheel drive, but also reduces the cost of travel as much as possible. Thanks to the 35.04kWh capacity of the drive battery, the new Mocha Hi4 has a range of up to 200km in CLTC mode, and according to the range achievement rate of about 80%, the new Mocha Hi4 can be fully electric in urban commuting scenarios, and can be charged "once a week".
In terms of fuel consumption, the combined fuel consumption of this car under WLTC mode is only 0.8L/100Km; Even in the state of feeding, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the vehicle per 100 kilometers is only 5.95L, and the overall energy-saving performance has reached the forefront of the market, which can bring consumers a balanced power experience.
Write at the end:
In the price range of 20-250,000 yuan, it still belongs to the vacuum area of the mid-size SUV of the three major German luxury brands. The new Mocha Hi4 of the Wei brand, after entering this price range, can be said to have firmly controlled the right to speak in the market segment in its own hands with the attitude of comfort flagship and performance flagship. Of course, after the arrival of the new Mocha Hi4 of the Wei brand, it is also expected to put pressure on models such as Q5L and X3, so that the independent high-end will go to a broader market.
