WEY V9X is positioned as an AI luxury model and the first production vehicle under the GWM’s ONE platform. On January 28, Great Wall Motor chairman Jack Wey officially announced that the WEY brand’s new flagship SUV is named V9X. Positioned as an AI luxury six-seat flagship, the V9X is the first mass-production model under GWM’s new high-end technology lineup, ONE S, which sits on the company’s ONE platform. Previously, camouflaged spy photos of the WEY V9X circulated online. According to available information, the model will feature rear-wheel steering and a tank-turn–style in-place rotation function.

Vertically oriented turn signals are embedded on both sides of the front bumper, complemented by an active air intake grille. A roof-mounted LiDAR sensor is also visible. Design details include full-width front and rear light bars and a three-dimensional floating front logo. In addition to the WEY lettering, the front fascia incorporates the word “POATING,” clearly indicating the brand’s origin. Jack Wey has previously explained the background of the WEY logo. He said the “flagpole” element in the logo is derived from historical symbols of the Zhili Governor’s Office in Baoding, while “POATING” reflects the city’s old English spelling. For GWM, the logo represents not only brand identity but also an emotional connection to its roots in Baoding. From the side, the V9X features long, robust body lines that continue the design language of the WEY Alpine series. The vehicle is expected to measure over 5.3 meters in length with a wheelbase of around 3.1 meters, providing ample space for a six-seat layout. In terms of powertrain performance, reference figures from a D-segment SUV under the ONE platform show a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of just 4.4 seconds. WLTC-rated combined range reaches up to 1,300 km, with a pure electric range of 363 km. Fuel consumption in charge-sustaining mode is as low as 6.3 liters per 100 km, while fast energy replenishment is supported. The ONE platform emphasizes a “vehicle-wide AI” concept, where artificial intelligence extends beyond the cockpit and driver assistance systems to actively participate in chassis, powertrain and safety control. Demonstrated capabilities include high-speed cornering blowout stability control and road preview functions, with a core focus on response speed and stability through multi-system coordination. At the platform level, the ONE platform is defined as a modular architecture compatible with five powertrain forms: PHEVs, HEVs, BEVs, FCEVs and ICEs. The ONE platform will support five powertrain forms These systems can be flexibly combined based on different vehicle requirements. According to planning disclosures, the ONE platform is expected to underpin more than 50 global models in the future, covering SUVs, sedans, MPVs and pickups, and supporting a wide range of mobility scenarios.
