Engines and transmission: what powertrains the Wey 07 offers

In 2026 Wey 07 available with two petrol turbo engines, both of which are standard Euro 5 and adapted for Russian operating conditions. The basic option is 2.0 liter turbo engine power 224 hp (320 Nm torque). This engine is combined with a 7-speed robotic gearbox DCT (with two clutches) and all-wheel drive. This tandem provides acceleration to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds, which is quite enough for urban conditions and overtaking on the highway.

For those who prefer more powerful options, available 2.5 liter turbo engine with dedication 250 hp (380 Nm). This unit is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Aisin and is also equipped with all-wheel drive. Acceleration to “hundreds” takes about 7.8 seconds, and the maximum speed is limited to 200 km/h. Both engines are characterized by good elasticity and are adapted to work on AI-92 (although the manufacturer recommends AI-95 for optimal performance).

• 🔧 2.0T (224 hp) - the optimal choice for the city, 10-15% more economical compared to the 2.5-liter version.
• 🚀 2.5T (250 hp) — the best option for lovers of dynamic driving and frequent trips with a full load.
• ⚙️ Transmission: robot DCT (for 2.0T) or classic “automatic” Aisin (for 2.5T).
• 🛣️ Drive: permanent all-wheel drive with a multi-plate clutch that distributes torque between the axles.

Both engines are equipped with a system Start-Stop, which automatically turns off the engine at traffic lights, saving fuel. However, the owners note that in frosts below -20°C This function may operate with a delay - it should be taken into account when operating in northern regions. It is also important to monitor the condition of the oil in DCT-box: robotic transmissions are more sensitive to overheating and require oil changes every 60,000 km (unlike 90,000 km for "automatic" Aisin).

⚠️ Attention: Upon purchase Wey 07 With mileage, be sure to check the transmission service history. Robotic box DCT requires regular diagnostics, especially if the previous owner operated the car in “ragged” city driving mode.

Fuel consumption: real figures vs factory data

The manufacturer declares the following fuel consumption figures for Wey 07:

• 2.0T (224 hp): 9.5 l/100 km in a mixed cycle, 12.5 l/100 km in the city.
• 2.5T (250 hp): 10.8 l/100 km in a mixed cycle, 14.2 l/100 km in the city.

However, real reviews from owners show that in Russian conditions, consumption may be higher by 15-20%. For example, for the 2.0-liter version in winter, with frequent trips through traffic jams, the consumption reaches 14-15 l/100 km. For a 2.5-liter engine this figure can increase to 16-17 l/100 km, especially if you actively use the modes Sport or Off-Road.

Engine	Factory consumption (mixed)	Real consumption (winter)	Real consumption (summer)
2.0T (224 hp)	9.5 l/100 km	14-15 l/100 km	10-11 l/100 km
2.5T (250 hp)	10.8 l/100 km	16-17 l/100 km	12-13 l/100 km

Several factors affect fuel consumption:

• 🌡️ Ambient temperature: in cold weather, the engine takes longer to warm up, and the system Start-Stop may turn off.
• 🚦 Riding mode: Frequent acceleration and braking in traffic jams increases fuel consumption by 20-30%.
• 🔋 Use of electrical equipment: Heated seats, steering wheel and rear window add load to the alternator.
• 🛣️ Fuel quality: gas station AI-92 instead of AI-95 may increase costs by 5-10%.

To reduce consumption, owners recommend:

1. Use mode Eco in city traffic.
2. Monitor tire pressure (optimal value: 2.2-2.4 bar).
3. Replace the air filter in a timely manner (every 15,000 km).

Dimensions, ground clearance and load capacity: what you need to know before buying

Wey 07 belongs to the class of mid-size crossovers, but in terms of dimensions it is closer to full-size models. The length of the car is 4750 mm, width - 1931 mm, height - 1700 mm. Wheelbase (2750 mm) provides a spacious interior, and ground clearance 190 mm allows you to confidently move on dirt roads and virgin snow. For comparison: Toyota RAV4 ground clearance is 195 mm, and Haval H9 — 200 mm.

Trunk volume as standard - 530 literswhat's on 50-70 liters more than most competitors. With the rear seats folded down this figure increases to 1600 liters. The maximum load capacity is 500 kg, and the towing capacity (with a trailer) is up to 2000 kg (for version with 2.5-liter engine). It does Wey 07 a good choice for family trips or transporting large cargo.

• 📏 Length/width/height: 4750×1931×1700 mm — the car is compact for parking, but spacious inside.
• 🚙 Clearance: 190 mm — enough for light off-roading, but not for serious off-roading.
• 📦 trunk: 530 l (standard) / 1600 l (with seats folded).
• 🏋️ Load capacity: to 500 kg, towing - up to 2000 kg.

It is important to consider that when fully loaded (5 passengers + luggage) clearance decreases by 20-30 mm due to suspension sagging. If you often drive with a full interior, it's worth installing reinforced springs or air suspension (available as an option in top trim levels). Also note car weight: curb weight Wey 07 amounts to 1850-1950 kg (depending on the configuration) that on 200-300 kg heavier than Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson.

⚠️ Attention: When towing a trailer weighing more than 1500 kg be sure to use the trailer brake system and check the tire pressure (it is recommended to increase to 2.5 bar). Otherwise, the brake mechanisms may overheat.

How to check the real ground clearance?

To accurately measure ground clearance, place the vehicle on a level surface and measure the distance from the bottom of the engine guard to the ground. Please note that when the trunk or passengers are loaded, the ground clearance decreases.

Suspension and handling: how the Wey 07 behaves on the road

Wey 07 built on a platform Great Wall LEMON, which also underlies the models Haval H9 and Wey Tank 300. Front suspension - type MacPherson, back - multi-link. This layout provides a good balance between comfort and handling. As standard, the car is equipped adaptive shock absorbers with three hardness modes: Comfort, Normal and Sport.

In mode Comfort the suspension gently “swallows” bumps, which is especially noticeable on rough Russian roads. However, during sharp maneuvers or at high speed, slight body sway may be observed. Mode Sport makes the steering sharper and the suspension stiffer, but this affects comfort - impacts from holes and joints are transmitted to the cabin. The optimal mode for everyday driving is Normal.

• 🔄 Front suspension: MacPherson with adaptive shock absorbers.
• 🔧 Rear suspension: multi-link, provides good directional stability.
• 🎯 Suspension Modes: Comfort, Normal, Sport.
• 🛣️ Controllability: light steering in the city, but a little “wobbly” feeling at high speed.

Off-road Wey 07 performs well thanks to all-wheel drive with a locked center differential (available in versions with a 2.5-liter engine). However, the lack of downshifting and crankcase protection only in top trim levels limit the possibilities for serious off-road driving. For light off-road (dirt roads, snow, mud) the car is ideal, but for overcoming fords or steep climbs it is better to consider Wey Tank 300.

Typical comments from owners include:

• 🔊 Noisiness: at higher speeds 100 km/h noise is heard from the wheel arches (can be reduced by installing additional sound insulation).
• 🌀 Roll in corners: due to the high center of gravity, the car “falls” a little on its side during sharp maneuvers.
• ❄️ Winter operation: in cold weather below -25°C Shock absorbers may freeze (it is recommended to use special lubricants).
