From a design point of view, how to make a car more cool and technological seems to be the current choice and thinking direction of most car companies. However, the Great Wall is not willing to simply follow the current, but has launched some relatively retro models, such as the appearance of the big dog and the tank 300 to some extent, but from the perspective of sales, the design of these two models is recognized by the market. Recently, the high-end brand WEY under the Great Wall has exposed a new model, codenamed V72. The design of this car is more retro and pure, as if it is back to the 1940s and 1950s.
The overall design style of V72 is mainly rounded, the body line is almost no sharp place, the curved extended wheel eyebrows, the round headlights and fog lamp design, are disconnected from the design of this era, the tall front is also a vivid restoration of the popular classic car style of the last century, the slogan played by the manufacturer is also retro tide driving, driving on the road must cause a fairly high return rate.
However, the front grille of the V72 uses a modern style, the area is huge, and the interior is filled with dense chrome trim strips, which is very layered. The design of the rear of the car is more distinctive, and this styling treatment is expected to be that the trunk space in the car will not be very large, and the raised place of the tail should also take this into account. The front and rear surrounds are decorated with chrome trim strips, which is exactly the more popular and unified design of that year.
The V72's overall interior is based on science and technology, which is not surprising, after all, it is still necessary to pursue practical convenience in use, in line with the car habits of contemporary people. However, some details are still incorporated into the elements of the past, such as some physical buttons similar to the lever, and the design of the steering wheel is very distinctive. In addition to the full LCD instrument, central control screen, the front of the V72 co-pilot is also equipped with an entertainment screen, the intelligent experience will not be outdated, in addition to the car also provides wireless charging and other functions.
In terms of power, it is reported that the car will be equipped with the latest DHT hybrid system of the Great Wall, which also means that the car will have higher fuel economy, and there is also news that the Great Wall 2.0T engine may be used.
As a product of the Great Wall's high-end brand WEY, it actually means that the car will not be too cheap after the listing in the future, and it will be more expensive than Haval. And although this retro design style is very eye-catching, but like the Volkswagen Beetle, it should be difficult to become a mainstream product in the Chinese market, but I think the intention of the V72 at the beginning of the design is not to build an H6-like volume car, which should not be their goal, to meet a group of niche consumers, to create their own car culture, may be what this car is doing.
