Chinese once again impress with pricing: Wey Lanshan SUV proves to be multiple times cheaper than Land Rover Defender

Wey has disclosed the configurations and specifications of the new Lanshan, primarily focused on comfort in urban and highway settings. The model is equipped with a lockable rear differential and air suspension with automatic stiffness and ground clearance adjustment. According to the source, the Land Rover Defender maintains an advantage in off-road conditions.

The hybrid powertrain of the SUV delivers a combined output of up to 693 hp and 940 Nm of torque. It comprises a 2.0-litre 247 hp turbocharged engine, a 150 hp front electric motor, and a 299 hp rear electric motor. The electric range reaches 350 km. The rear wheels can turn up to 20 degrees, improving manoeuvrability and enabling the vehicle to move sideways.

The Lanshan is fitted with two lidars and 28 sensors. The vehicle’s systems support automated driving on highways, in cities, and during parking. Additionally, the capability for autonomous movement on unmarked dirt roads has been announced.

The interior features a 29.6-inch screen that integrates the central and passenger monitors, along with a head-up display and an additional 21.4-inch screen for the second row. The infotainment system adapts to the driver’s habits and recognises passengers’ emotions. The six-seater version includes separate second-row seats with ventilation, heating, and a 'zero gravity' function.
