Greatwall have jumped into the hatchback game feet first once they realized that SUV and Truck sales were about to fall through the floor. Their first model was the Great Wall Peri, which they followed up with the Greatwall Florid, the Coolbear and the soon to be unknown hatch.
Their first concept sedan was shown at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year where it surprised crowds with its funky looks, which appeared to be a mixture of sporty and formal, an unusual mix that worked just right for the usually bland designing automaker.
A leaked early version of a forthcoming Greatwall mini sedan has been leaked to the internet and early opinions are not good. The mini sedan seems to resemble the unknown hatchback mentioned earlier, with a notchback trunk attached to the rear. The sedan seems to have E-Class like folds in the door (although, every car has them now) and a Lifan 520 front end. It’s not clear where Great Wall are going with this one, perhaps its just best to bring out the sports concept sedan instead?
The wheelbase of 2608 mm is larger than the Toyota Belta/Vios/Yaris sedan (2550 mm), so this is probably the first Great Wall which is not a clone! :thumb:
this is one of the testing car which was inside production area, if you look better you can see the headlamps from wingle, but in final production car will have different headlights, to me this car look like quite good and attractive sedan, by dimensions it's more competetive let's say like dongfeng s30 and similiar models
@ erik: Thanks for you comment! In that case I still won't take Great Wall seriously. I wonder if Great Wall is allowed to build certain of its clones in the Bulgarian factory...
anything new about this sedan? is it really the size of a corolla? if so, how can the dashboard of the phenom/i7 fit into this car, which is supposed to be smaller?
i dont know if it's the same... i think the code is the same CH041, plus the grill, but the interior is quite different. maybe they used the interior for the phenom temporarily for the mock-up
nice.... nice.... nice.... go GWM! the last one, in my opinion, kinda combines elements from BMW and mercedes benz... BWM 6-series butt, MB E-class tail lights, BMW 3-series headlights...
although, it's a bit too early to tell since these pics are small and low res...
but these are nice pictures nonetheless... thanks analyst!
The Greatwall Voleex C30 comes in four levels: ’standard’ for 58.900 rmb, ‘comfort’ for 62.900, ‘luxury’ for 65.900 and ‘elite’ for 71.900 rmb. One engine for all (for now): 1.5 litre with 77kw and 138nm. Greatwall expects the hardest competition from the Buick Excelle and Hyundai Elantra. Size: 4452×1705x1480, wheelbase is 2610.
‘Voleex’ is Greatwall’s new brand name for sedans but will only be used outside China, in Chinese all Voleexes are called ‘Tengyi’.
I think they may become internationaly big within 10 years.
