On May 18, Great Wall Motor (GWM) officially launched the 2026 WEY V9X. The new vehicle lineup consists of three distinct models, with prices starting at ¥349,800 RMB. All models released during this initial launch are "Super Hi4" plug-in hybrid variants; later this year, the WEY V9X series will be further expanded to include HEV (hybrid-electric) and EV (pure-electric) versions.
The 2026 GWM WEY V9X stands as the world's first luxury 6-seater flagship SUV built upon a "Native AI Cabin-Driving Integrated Intelligent Architecture." Embodying the philosophy of "Technological Equity, AI-Centricity," it redefines the benchmark for family mobility within the ¥400,000 price segment. Far from being a mere stack of features, it utilizes "AI to understand people and a platform to adapt to the world." As the first high-end 6-seater SUV from a Chinese brand to be launched for global markets—including Europe, the Middle East, and Asia—it truly realizes the vision of "Chinese Luxury, Globally Validated."

A panoramic glass roof comes standard across the entire lineup, offering a lighting area of 1.2 square meters to ensure that every journey feels like floating among the clouds.

It is the only vehicle globally to integrate four advanced technologies onto a single platform: a 4-speed DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission), 800V ultra-fast charging, 6C battery cells, and a dual-motor intelligent all-wheel-drive system. This unique combination delivers a truly "anxiety-free" driving experience, performing "like a pure EV when fully charged, and like a traditional fuel vehicle when running on low battery."
"Xiao Wei" Native AI Agent:
Identity Recognition: Automatically identifies the driver, front passenger, and second-row passengers via the rearview mirror camera; upon entry, it instantly recalls and applies their personalized preferences for seating, climate control, and music.
Contextual Memory: Remembers your weekly routine—such as picking up your child every Wednesday at 4:00 PM—and automatically activates "Child Mode," plays children's songs, and adjusts the cabin temperature.
Proactive Service: When navigating to the airport, it automatically reminds you to pack your luggage, enables the hands-free trunk sensor, and assists in booking airport pickup services.
Multi-turn Semantic Understanding: Capable of responding to contextual cues—e.g., "The front passenger just mentioned they feel a bit cold"—by automatically raising the temperature on the passenger side and closing the driver-side air vent vents.
Immersive Cockpit Configuration:
12.3-inch Full Digital Instrument Cluster + Dual 17.3-inch 4K Center/Passenger-side Integrated Screens (Resolution: 3840 × 1440)

EDC Electronically Controlled Dampers: Millisecond-level response ensures a smooth ride over speed bumps—feeling as if driving on flat ground—while offering superior body roll control during high-speed cornering compared to luxury German vehicles in the million-yuan class.
The V9X is built upon GWM's "Guiyuan S" Platform—the world's first automotive architecture to employ a "movable-type printing" modular design. This platform is compatible with five distinct power sources—pure electric, plug-in hybrid, standard hybrid, fuel-powered, and hydrogen-powered—and deconstructs the entire vehicle into over 300 standardized hardware modules, thereby realizing an industrial revolution of "on-demand manufacturing."
It is not designed for a single market, but rather offers a unified solution tailored to the diverse energy policies, road environments, and family structures found across the global market. Its AI Intelligent Agent is far more than just an upgraded voice assistant; it is a digital companion endowed with memory, reasoning, and empathy, marking a pivotal transition in the automotive world—from the car serving merely as a "tool" to becoming an "intelligent life form."
As the first truly global flagship from a Chinese luxury brand, the V9X represents not merely a product, but a shift in technological discourse—demonstrating to the world that "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" is now capable of defining the foundational logic of future luxury.
