On October 19, 2023, the Wey Gaoshan went on sale in China. It features a layout that accommodates either six or seven passengers.[5]

During Auto Shanghai 2025, Wey announced the updated Gaoshan family strategy, renaming the short wheelbase model for family use as the Gaoshan 7, the standard wheelbase model as the Gaoshan 8, and the long wheelbase model for business as the Gaoshan 9.[6]

Specifications

The Gaoshan powertrain is a plug-in hybrid system that consists of a 1.5T turbocharged engine and two electric motors. The engine produces a maximum power of 115 kW. When combined with the 135 kW rear axle motor, the system delivers a total output of 358 kW (337 kW for the long wheelbase version) and a peak torque of 762 N·m (644 N·m for the long wheelbase version). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds. The Gaoshan features electric four-wheel drive. A Svolt-made ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 37.96 kWh (44.28 kWh for the long wheelbase version) enables a range of 175 km in electric mode according to the CLTC standard.[5][7][8]
