This is the catalogue record of the Great Wall Peri, one of 31 models Great Wall Motor has placed in the historical record and one of more than seventeen thousand cars the MotorJury library tracks. The record places its introduction in 2007. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Great Wall Peri properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2000s were the decade of electronics — stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids arrived while platform-sharing consolidated the industry into a handful of giants. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Volkswagen Volkswagen Tiguan, the Hyundai Hyundai i30, the Nissan Nissan GT-R — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Great Wall Peri reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol: / 1.3 L GW4G13 I4; kerb weight is recorded at 1015 kg; drive goes through 5-speed manual; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Great Wall Motor's own catalogue the Great Wall Peri sits alongside the Great Wall Coolbear, the Great Wall Cowry, the Great Wall Deer, the Great Wall Florid. The record names the successor = Ora Black Cat/White Cat as its predecessor and the Ora Black Cat/White Cat as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to TJ Innova Engineering & Technology. Assembly is recorded at Hebei, China.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
Most car databases stop at series production. This one deliberately does not, because concept cars, racing specials and cancelled prototypes are where the industry thinks out loud — the ideas tested in public years before they reach a showroom. Holding them beside the production cars they inspired makes the lineage legible: nearly every landmark road car in this library has a concept ancestor somewhere in the catalogue, and the connections run through the era links on every page.
The catalogue records what the Great Wall Peri was; the ownership database records what it is like to own. MotorJury computes a verdict for every model year the United States federal record covers — complaints, recalls, real economy — refreshed nightly, with no opinions involved. If this car reached the American market, its verdicts are in there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
