Like Peri and Cowry another GW's concept car is heading into production. This time it's time for Florid wich was presented to Chinese public in 2006. Paparazzi already caught camouflaged production version of the future hatcback on Chinese roads:

It seems the final version of the car will look very much like the prototype, except for the logo of course.

The rear looks a lot like the Scion xA, Toyota product. Scion discontinued the xA, its last production year was 2006. It was replaced by the Scion xD, on sale now in the US, anyway.

GW Florid sedan to roll off line in early October

September 12, 2008


Shanghai, September 12 (Gasgoo.com) A few months after launching its first sedan model Peri, Chinese carmaker Great Wall Motor has revealed that its second sedan Florid will roll off line on October 6 and debut at the Guangzhou auto show in November, said xinhuanet.com today.

The GW Florid is a 5-door compact sedan with two rows of seats, and the rear row has foldaway seats which can give the interior a feel of larger space. The exterior of this dynamic sedan looks gorgeous and splendid like its name. This new GW sedan will be priced at 60,000 yuan ($8,780) to 80,000 yuan when it goes on sale later this year.

The Florid, as the second small car after Peri from Great Wall Motr, is powered by the 1.3L VVT gasoline engine which meets the Euro IV standards. Later Florid models will have the stocking 1.5 gasoline engine and an optional 1.2 diesel engine, perhaps the first for any small Chinese car.

Great Wall Motor, China's largest maker and exporter of pickups and SUVs, has made its foray into the small-car segment. The company launched its first sedan Peri in March this year. The compact Florid is set to become the most 'sporty' of the Great Wall Motor's lineup.

Florid...Simply Horrible Copy!

dragin
09-13-2008, 08:56 AM
You are right SadRabbit. But as you can see Hover and its SUV sales are down recently. It looks like a while back Great Wall saw the handwriting on the wall, and was desperate to turn out more mainstream type passenger cars like the Florid and Peri.
Will the copies hurt their image? Probably. But it's obvious that they were willing to take the gamble.

09-14-2008, 05:54 PM
hover sale by my opinion is going very well, also they offer plenty of new stuff, like new mask, some interior changes, couple of diesel engines 2.5 and 2.8 also a new gasoline engine

http://www.gasgoo.com/resource/editor/SUV(3).jpg
normaly every year hover is sold to 50-55000 units, so i think that this year also hover will have the good result, guangzhou honda crv is a hit on the market, always that car was having very good seling results

as i speak with some managers from gwm they are satisfied how selling of peri and cowry is going, especally because prices of those cars are little bit higher then many other cars in the same class on chinese market, also export is going very well and gwm open plenty of new SKD plants and productions

for florid, i also think that it's look very much like toyota models...but plenty of cars on chinese market look like that, if the customers on the market will accept that car, i am sure that he will have very good result, if they offer 2-3engines for it...i am sure in that

Great Wall Florid - November launch.

October 8th, 2008 - Sales of Great Walls first super mini, the Perri dont appear to be going too great so far (China Car Times has seen 3 on the roads so far) but that does not appear to have deterred Great Wall from achieving success in the super mini segment as well truck and SUV segments. Their latest offering, the Florid, is expected to be launched in November this year, the Florid will come with the choice of 1.3 or 1.5l engines which were developed by Great Wall themselves.

The Florid will not be a bargain bin super mini, but appears to be aiming for the upper mid range of the small car segment. The Flord will come packed with goodies that the Peri didnt get, such as automatic air conditioner, LED lights, remote smart key, DVD player, and GPS, and then the usual standard equipment such as ABS and EBD. Sadly, it seems the Florid will be limited to a 5speed manual to start with, which will leave the Florid floundering until an autobox is introduced!The 1.3l engine is able to produce 65kw at 3900rpm to 4900rpm, the 1.5l engine will be of DOHC variety, producing 77kw. Reports say the 1.5l engine will be lighter, and faster than 1.3l making the Florid a much more interesting car. SaSad

Great Wall Motor officially launched its Florid on November 6th. The carmaker announced that the 1.3L Florid luxury edition is priced at 53,900 yuan ($7,903) and the elegant edition is priced at 57,900 yuan.

Florid, as the second small car after Peri from Great Wall Motor, is powered by the 1.3L VVT gasoline engine developed by the carmaker itself. The 1.3l engine, able to produce 65kw and 115 nm, has met the Euro IV standards.

The Florid also comes packed with goodies that the Peri didnt get, such as automatic air conditioner, LED lights, remote smart key, DVD player, and GPS, and then the usual standard equipment such as ABS and EBD. It is a 5-door compact sedan with two rows of seats, and the rear row has foldaway seats which can give the interior a feel of larger space.

Great Wall Motor, China's largest maker and exporter of pickups and SUVs, has made its foray into the small-car segment. The carmaker had unveiled its first small car Peri eighteen months ago which was sued by Fiat in China and in Europe over the design of the Peri model which is seen as a clone of the current Fiat Panda.

Great Wall has the ambitious plan to export the new model to Europe. The car would be sold in Italy first and in the rest of Europe in 2009, though it was blamed as a rip-off of the Toyota IST/scion xA model by the foreign media.

accelleration from 0-100, 14.9, not bad, but could be better, i hope that gwm will install 1.5 engine in it

http://img.autohome.com.cn/2008/12/9/9-22-30-9-96722628.jpg

braking also ins't so bad, i can say that it have quite good result for that car segment

http://img.autohome.com.cn/2008/12/9/9-22-29-52-542732861.jpg

at the test they put in it 12,6 liters and pass 202.5 km, avarge fuel consuption is 6.2 liters

if we look at all car have a good price, good driving skills and by my opinion very low fuel consuption for the engine which have 65 kw, anyway this result from 0-100 could be better and i hope that gwm will install new 1.5 engine with 77 kw

Great Wall launched Florid 1.5:
http://info.auto.hc360.com/2009/02/211208302689.shtml

February 20, 2009, the Great Wall VVT all-aluminum 1.5L models listed, Deluxe Edition Price 59900, 63900 elite edition, skylights Version 68900, they will fight side by side with the 1.3L Behind, in the A-class car market with the joint brand rivals.

A professional in-depth analysis of "1.5LVVT aluminum alloy engine" Behind after the characteristics of its evaluation: 1.5 Behind the high-end driving force, the low-end price, and power strong, aluminum VVT technology leader.

This independently researched and developed by the Great Wall Automobile adopting international advanced technology GW4G15 aluminum alloy gasoline engines, taking into account the low-speed high-torque, high-speed high-power characteristics, to achieve the perfect power output, 4200 to achieve maximum torque 138N.m , 6000 to produce rated power 77kW.

This engine matches the sleek, get plenty of power output, easily overtaking acceleration. Professionals said, when you side-by-side overtaking each other is also not super-accelerated general very dangerous at this time, it is this critical moment in order to experience the advantages of high-speed torque. Some engines are simply high-torque low-speed city started fast, but GW4G15 aluminum alloy engine that takes care of high-speed high-power characteristics, in 2500 transferred to the output maximum torque of 90%, so not only the initial fast 1.5L Behind 50-100 km of this phase is the instantaneous speed up its advantage, 50-100 Abulimiti speed only 5.9 seconds, a few seconds the outbreak of the "Super Mario" will have a strong sense of pushing back, making side by side overtaking whim.

Behind 1.5L engine with Fox, Mazda 6 (configuration parameters Gallery), etc. into the exhaust manifold models similar to the anti-home design, traditional layout of subversion into the exhaust manifold, so that the exhaust manifold under the engine after the catalytic converter device made as close as possible to the engine, reducing exhaust resistance, improve the performance of exhaust gas purification. Placed in front of the intake manifold is therefore achieved a higher oxygen content to ensure that the combustion efficiency and improve fuel economy, reduced emissions of pollution. Behind the match in the actual test 60km / h constant speed fuel consumption only 4.03L/100km, than with low-emission vehicle fuel consumption 25 percent or more to reach the EU IV emission standards.

At the same time, silent timing chain and POLO and other models is not easy when compared to teeth with skidding, engine timing precise, job stability, and effective to avoid tooth fracture with aging, resulting in the top piston valve intake system brought about by injury, which has a long life, easily broken, such as job stability advantages. In good maintenance, the chain of life equivalent to the engine life, avoiding the replacement of annoyance, extended engine life, reduced cost.

GW4G15 a new generation of gasoline engine cars are independently researched and developed the Great Wall Automobile crystallization, high pressure casting aluminum alloy airframe than the cast iron cylinder models is 20% lighter and has a light weight, long life, low noise characteristics. Excellent structural rigidity aluminum alloy with excellent thermal conductivity, making a longer engine life, better heat dissipation. Continuously variable valve timing (VVT) technology and electronic throttle control system, be able to open the valve on the engine, turn off the time and into the continuous air-conditioning, in order to adapt to different terrain in the engine intake requirements, improve engine power and optimized torque curve at the same time, excellent fuel economy.

DIS (DirectIgnitionSystem) direct ignition technology, the ignition time with accurate, high ignition energy, the overall three major characteristics of high reliability to ensure the best engine in the state of work, which may help to enhance power and fuel efficiency. Double overhead camshaft, 16-valve structure with the conventional rear-mounted engine is compared to be able to effectively improve the efficiency of engine intake, bringing the power upgrade.

E-gas electronic throttle design, to achieve precise control of power, reduce emissions and fuel consumption and improve driving pleasure and comfort, more engine protection. Materials reinforced nylon intake manifold wall is very smooth, intake was significantly higher than the efficiency of metal air intake manifolds, and at the same time be able to make further lightweight engine, bringing fuel efficiency, but also to enable more air intake sound To clear pleasant.

In addition, 1.5L Behind the continuation of "do it" line, the appearance of fashion beautiful and spacious, configuration rich, comprehensive quality were lower than the challenge will be a joint venture brands of similar models. Level in the same car, it is the only use of international brands Autoliv airbag, electronic pretightening belts, Bosch's most advanced sophisticated version 8.0 of the ABS + EBD models. "Cage"-style security body, the unique design of structural safety guarantee the security of the members.

It is reported that in January 3600 sales Behind realize, because of Chinese New Year holiday, the current inventory to zero not only manufacturers, but also "owed" the dealer orders for more than 1700 vehicles. 1.3L Behind in the trial test drive process, a lot of users of this car look and configuration, but also indicated their motivation was even more robust, more fuel-efficient models expectations. Therefore, the models listed 1.5VVT Behind set off a new round of sales will boom.

Yes nice, but what about coordinating interior and exterior colors?

CLASH!!!

For Western markets it will take them some time to get it right.

i am wondering for what you need engine code scanner??? i have great wall vehciles for 4 years and we use gwm original scanner maybe couple of time in whole year, usually we use it to erase airbag faliure sign when battery is empty and we use it some time for acutiation test, to erase check engine lamp, usually this happen when we put LPG sistem on vehicles,all other for now we didn't have any serius use of this scanner, so i think that you will save a lot of money if after warranty you simply visit your dealer

micodelija
12-14-2009, 01:51 PM
also now when you vehcile is new you shoudn't bothering about problems and thinking how to do a service on your own...firsty you shoud enjoy your new car for which i think that you will not have any problems, also it's always better for you to visit your dealership service because they are updated with all new modifications which they must do on the vehciles, even if they are out of warranty

Dearler can't find anything external, or the easy stuff. But there may be no other choice but to unbolt the bell housing to access the release bearing/fork assembly.

dealer didn't found anything because this is normal sound at many great wall models, i don't know why this happend, we also have couple of vehciles with that small click and many of them now have over 50000 km without problem, simply it's like that

maybe your dealer should check release thrust bearing, always is a possibility that some part can be damaged and replace it and then try it

i think this is to radical move, because of smaller problem at vehicle, they just must check the sterring sistem and try to test vehicle at bumpy road, to see what make this problem and noise, also they can test the suspension at specialized services for it

danielgjecka
02-27-2010, 05:00 PM
