The WEY Lanshan DHT-PHEV (WEY Lanshan) is a mid-to-large plug-in hybrid SUV from WEY, the premium sub-brand under Great Wall Motor (GWM). As the flagship of WEY's "Coffee Series", the Lanshan targets the large six-seater SUV segment, leveraging GWM's deep engineering heritage to provide family buyers with a mobility solution balancing performance, ultra-long range, and premium comfort, directly rivaling mainstream large six-seater smart hybrid SUVs in its class.
The Lanshan DHT-PHEV is positioned as a mid-to-large luxury SUV, serving as a strategic spearhead for WEY's upmarket push and electrification transformation.
Market positioning: Series-parallel DHT, large six-seater layout, all-scenario luxury, high-performance family carrier, intelligent tech.
Design & Packaging: Dimensionally, it measures 5,156 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width, and 1,805 mm in height, with a 3,050 mm wheelbase. The exterior styling features clean, commanding lines that emphasise road presence and visual identity. Inside, the cabin is tailored around "family comfort" with a six-seater layout, trimmed with premium leather upholstery throughout, and equipped with a "Queen Copilot" front passenger seat, zero-gravity seating, an onboard hot/cold fridge, and an interconnected multi-screen infotainment system.
Product highlights: Its core strength lies in the all-scenario fuel efficiency delivered by the "series-parallel DHT" system, alongside uncompromised interior space courtesy of its generous footprint. By thoughtfully mapping out how families move in and out of the vehicle, the Lanshan offers exceptional ease of ingress/egress and a truly practical third-row experience, establishing itself as an ideal large-family carrier.
Background: In 2023, amidst surging demand in the family SUV segment for "space and smart tech", WEY officially debuted the Lanshan DHT-PHEV. Backed by GWM's 32-year automotive engineering background, the SUV was built to redefine the value benchmark for mid-to-large family haulers.
Generational evolution:
Launch & Debut (2023): Upon its debut, the Lanshan rapidly made its mark in the RM300,000 price bracket, drawing strong consumer interest with its punchy performance (0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds) and composed chassis dynamics.
2026 Intelligent Advanced Edition: Through subsequent model-year revisions, the Lanshan took significant leaps forward in smart tech. The 2026 edition introduces an upgraded ADAS suite with substantially refined lane-change logic and complex traffic negotiation, alongside a more seamless, polished in-cabin infotainment experience.
Key milestones: Since its 2023 debut, the Lanshan has remained WEY's core volume driver. Backed by GWM's global supply chain, it has also successfully showcased the automaker's integration prowess in advanced hybrid technology across both domestic and international markets.
Competitive landscape: The Lanshan competes in the highly contested "family six-seater SUV" segment, going toe-to-toe with the likes of the Li Auto L-Series and AITO M7. Thanks to its proven ride quality, linear power delivery, and robust structural safety, the Lanshan enjoys a solid reputation among family buyers seeking solid mechanical foundations and ride comfort.
Owner feedback: Drivers widely praise its "planted chassis with minimal body roll", "plentiful reserve power for effortless overtaking", and "highly usable third row". While earlier iterations drew occasional critique over voice recognition response and infotainment menu logic, overall customer satisfaction has risen noticeably with the tech updates introduced on the 2026 model.
Series-Parallel DHT Technology: The Lanshan features GWM's proprietary series-parallel Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) powertrain pairing a 1.5T petrol engine with dual electric motors, offering three drive modes: Pure Electric, EV Priority, and Smart Hybrid. Unlike conventional series-only range-extended (REEV) setups, this system allows direct engine drive in parallel, ensuring superior fuel efficiency and sustained power delivery at high cruising speeds.
Coffee Pilot Ultra ADAS: Powered by an Orin-X high-computing chipset and a suite of 27 high-precision sensors, the third-generation driving assistance system supports all-scenario Navigation on Highway (NOH) across urban and intercity routes. It executes automated overtaking, lane changes, and proactive obstacle avoidance in complex traffic environments.
Chassis & Comfort: Featuring a five-link independent rear suspension and electronically controlled active damping tuned by GWM’s European Design Centre, the Lanshan delivers light steering at parking speeds and composed, planted stability on highways. Across the first two rows, the seats are equipped with heating, ventilation, and multi-point massage functions.
Range & Fast Charging: With a 44.5 kWh ternary lithium battery pack, it achieves a WLTC-rated pure electric range of 180 km and an overall cruising range in excess of 1,200 km. DC fast charging from 30% to 80% takes approximately 25 minutes, making long-distance family road trips effortless.
As of 2026, key strategic priorities for the Lanshan include:
Continuous ADAS Algorithm Refinement: Leveraging end-to-end AI large models to continually hone lane-change smoothness and braking deceleration comfort, addressing urban driving refinement in congested traffic.
Smart Cockpit Evolution: Deepening integration with the Coffee GPT large model to deliver an intelligent, proactive cabin environment.
Powertrain & Global Expansion: Continuing to explore higher-efficiency powertrain solutions via GWM's Forest Ecosystem, while expanding the Lanshan's footprint in international markets in line with local regulations and demand.
