The 2026 WEY Lanshan — sold in some markets as the WEY Blue Mountain after its Chinese name (衔山) — is Great Wall Motor’s mid-flagship 6-seat plug-in hybrid SUV, slotting just below the larger 670 hp WEY V9X in the brand’s 2026 lineup. Built around GWM’s second-generation Hi4 PHEV platform, the Lanshan pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a dual-motor electric drivetrain to deliver up to 510 hp, a sub-5-second 0-100 km/h sprint, and a class-competitive 1,343 km combined range. Pre-sales for the updated 2026 “Intelligent Edition” opened with starting prices of ¥299,800 ($43,800), positioning the Lanshan as a serious challenger to Li Auto’s L8, AITO’s M8, and the Lynk & Co 900 in China’s ferociously competitive premium 6-seat segment.
Performance & Specs
| Engine | 1.5L Turbocharged |

| Front motor | Permanent magnet synchronous |
| Rear motor | Permanent magnet synchronous |
| Battery | 44.5 / 52.3 kWh NMC |
| Architecture | GWM Hi4 PHEV (2nd gen) |
The 2026 WEY Lanshan uses a sophisticated dual-motor all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid setup, with both motors fed by either a 44.5 kWh or larger 52.3 kWh NMC ternary lithium battery. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine acts primarily as a generator but can directly drive the wheels for highway-speed efficiency. In the standard 2026 trim, total system output sits at 300 kW (~402 hp) with 410 Nm of motor torque, while the Performance variant pushes combined output to 380 kW (510 hp). That extra punch enables a 4.9-second 0-100 km/h sprint — remarkable performance for a near-three-ton six-seater. Top speed is electronically limited to 200 km/h, and the AWD system delivers genuinely confident traction in slippery and inclement conditions.

|---|---|
| Width | 1,980 mm |
| Height | 1,805 mm |
| Wheelbase | 3,050 mm |
| Seat layout | 2+2+2 (6 seats) or 7-seat option |
At 5,156 mm long and 1,980 mm wide, the Lanshan plants itself firmly in the full-size 6-seater category. The 3,050 mm wheelbase gives all three rows generous legroom, and the 2+2+2 captain’s-chair layout in the 6-seat configuration delivers genuine business-class accommodation for second-row passengers. A 7-seat 2+3+2 arrangement is available for buyers prioritizing maximum passenger capacity. Cargo space is well-judged for a vehicle of this size: ample room behind the third row for a full grocery run, expanding dramatically when the rearmost seats fold electrically into the floor. Standard ISOFIX with top-tether anchors on the rear bench (visible in the showroom walkthrough) confirms the family focus, and a power tailgate eases loading.

Charging & Battery
WEY offers the Lanshan with a choice of two NMC ternary lithium battery packs from CATL: a standard 44.5 kWh unit delivering 185 km of WLTC pure-electric range, and a larger 52.3 kWh pack pushing range to 220 km. Both are paired with the same 1.5L turbo generator, giving a combined CLTC range of up to 1,343 km when battery and tank are both topped up. DC fast charging at compatible stations refills the battery from 30% to 80% in roughly 15-20 minutes, while AC home charging completes a full overnight top-up in approximately 6 hours via the standard 6.6 kW onboard charger. The combination of battery and roughly 70-liter fuel tank yields cross-country flexibility that pure BEVs at this price still struggle to match.

Design & Interior
The exterior is a study in calm, premium SUV proportions — clean horizontal lines, an expansive flat hood, and split LED headlight units that frame a slim chrome trim element across the nose. There’s no oversized grille and no aggressive sculpting; the Lanshan looks expensive without trying too hard. At the rear, a full-width LED light bar wraps the tailgate with the WEY brand wordmark spelled out in chrome, flanked by sharp triangular tail-light sub-elements. Pop-out flush door handles, body-color skid plates, and substantial 21-inch alloys complete the exterior. Inside is where the Lanshan really earns its premium positioning. The 6-seater cabin is wrapped in genuine cognac-tone leather with extensive quilted detailing on the seats, a dark wood and metal trim mix on the dashboard, and an Alcantara headliner. Second-row captain’s chairs feature electric ottomans, ventilation, heating, and 8-point massage. A full-width panoramic glass roof with electric sunshade floods all three rows with light. Front passengers benefit from dual high-speed wireless charging pads, ambient lighting, and aircraft-grade armrest storage with integrated cooling.
Technology & Features
The Lanshan’s digital cabin is anchored by GWM’s Coffee OS infotainment platform, displayed across a 15.6-inch central touchscreen and a matching 15.6-inch front passenger entertainment display, plus a separate driver instrument cluster and an augmented-reality head-up display. Coffee OS provides deep system control — a full settings menu spanning Vehicle, Drive, Autopilot, Perception, Lights, Display, Sound, Voice, and Connection — alongside seamless smartphone integration, OTA software updates, a digital key system, and standard always-connected services. A premium multi-speaker audio system fills the cabin, and rear passengers have their own 17-inch ceiling-mounted entertainment screen with independent media controls. Air suspension with continuous damping control adjusts ride height and damper firmness in real time based on driving mode and road conditions.
Safety & ADAS
The 2026 Lanshan ships with GWM’s Intelligent Edition L2+ ADAS suite as standard, including Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Rear Cross-Traffic Avoidance, and a high-resolution 360-degree surround-view camera. The flagship trims add a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor that unlocks Navigation-on-Autopilot functionality on Chinese highways and selected urban environments. Passive safety is anchored by the high-strength steel and aluminum body structure, with full curtain airbag coverage across all three rows, and ISOFIX with top-tether anchors fitted to the second row.

Pricing & Availability
The 2026 WEY Lanshan Intelligent Edition is currently on pre-sale across China, with the entry trim starting at ¥299,800 ($43,800), the larger-battery Intelligent Plus at ¥311,800 (~$45,500), and the high-output Intelligent Performance variant topping the lineup at ¥326,800 (~$47,700). Customer deliveries are scheduled to commence in Q2 2026 from GWM’s production facility in Xushui, Hebei Province. While the Lanshan is currently focused on the Chinese domestic market, GWM has previously confirmed the WEY brand for global expansion, with markets including the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia under active evaluation. A standard 5-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and 8-year/180,000 km battery warranty come with every trim.
How It Compares
The Lanshan operates in one of the most contested segments in the Chinese EV market. The Li Auto L8 has been the segment’s benchmark for two years and matches the Lanshan’s 220 km EV range almost exactly while running an EREV (rather than full PHEV) powertrain — the L8’s engine is a generator only and never drives the wheels. The Lanshan counters with a more sophisticated AWD system that can use the engine for direct drive at highway speeds. Huawei’s AITO M8 sits one tier above on price ($50,800) and offers more EV range and the brand’s legendary ADS 4 driver assistance, but loses on the value scoreboard. The Lynk & Co 900 EM-P is the wild card — with its 872 hp triple-motor option and 1,443 km combined range, it delivers more outright performance and slightly more range for a similar entry price, making it the Lanshan’s most direct internal-segment rival. The Lanshan’s ace card is the maturity of GWM’s Hi4 PHEV system and Coffee OS infotainment, both of which have been refined over multiple model cycles.
- Genuine 4.9-second 0-100 km/h sprint from the 510 hp Performance trim
- Up to 220 km of pure-electric WLTC range — among the best in PHEV segment
- Mature Coffee OS infotainment with dual 15.6-inch screens and OTA support
- 2+2+2 captain’s-chair layout with electric ottomans, massage, and rear screen
- Aggressive $43,800 entry price for a fully-equipped Intelligent Edition trim
- ~2,500 kg curb weight dulls handling vs lighter rivals like the Li L8
- Currently China-only — international pricing and availability still TBA
- Standard trim’s 402 hp is plenty but lacks the flagship Performance version’s drama
The 2026 WEY Lanshan is one of the smarter family flagships in this segment. By keeping the entry price at $43,800 while delivering 220 km of WLTC pure-electric range, a sub-five-second 0-100 km/h Performance variant, and a genuinely premium 6-seat cabin with electric ottomans and quilted leather throughout, GWM has built a vehicle that beats the Li Auto L8 on power and matches the AITO M8 on equipment for less money. The Lynk & Co 900 remains the undisputed performance king at this price, but the Lanshan is the more polished family product. For Chinese buyers shopping the ¥300,000-¥330,000 6-seat PHEV bracket, the Lanshan deserves to be on the shortlist.
