Great Wall Motor does not build many cars like the Great Wall Sing: a 5-door SUV with Gasoline, built from 2005 to 2008 in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids.
The engineering
Under the skin sits Gasoline; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 1625 kg. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2760 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Where it sits in Great Wall Motor's history is not in doubt: the Haval H9 followed it; it was built at Baoding, China. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Audi Q7, the Aston Martin Vantage, the Bugatti Veyron. Its Great Wall Motor stablemates include the Great Wall Coolbear and the Great Wall Cowry.
