All-New Wuling Victory MPV Officially Unveiled

After catching a glimpse of its exterior appearance and other details through a leak a few weeks ago, the all-new Wuling Victory MPV has just been officially unveiled in China. SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW), the second General Motors joint venture in the Asian country, has revealed the first official images of the model that formally kicks off Wuling’s global strategy and debut the brand’s new logo.

In addition to introducing a new, slimmer and more refined exterior design language, the Wuling Victory boasts a high-quality interior design and multiple safety technologies never before seen in the brand’s product portfolio – hitherto focused on minibuses and low-end commercial vehicles. The midsize MPV will spearhead the repositioning of Wuling as an international brand of passenger vehicles.

Built on SGMW’s latest modular platform, the Wuling Victory is 192 inches long, 74 inches wide, 67 inches tall, and is mounted on a 110.2-inch wheelbase. This makes it the second-largest model riding on the new architecture after the all-new Baojun RS-7, with a standard three-row, six-seat interior configuration, focused on one of the most popular segments in the entire Asian continent.

Designed to offer a comfortable and safe experience to all occupants, the Wuling Victory’s cabin has a two-tone beige and black color scheme. The dashboard stands out for its horizontal lines and layout, hosting a 12.3-inch floating center display very similar to that seen in the new Baojun RC-6. Other common elements with Baojun models are the digital instrument panel, the multifunction steering wheel and the gear selector.

Meanwhile, the seats were specially designed to be ergonomic and fit to all types of physiological curvature, reducing fatigue on longer trips. In particular, the second-row captain’s chairs offer a first-class experience as they can be slid, reclined and extended electrically. This, together with the largest sunroof in its segment, contributes to the feeling of comfort and spaciousness.

On a safety level, the Wuling Victory MPV is equipped with four high-definition cameras and six radar sensors that work with the brand’s new advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which include adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking. In addition to stability control and six airbags, the Victory protects its occupants with a PM2.5 air filter and a negative ion generator that blocks dust, viruses and bacteria, creating a healthy indoor environment with an N95 protection level.

The all-new Wuling Victory is expected to begin arriving in Chinese dealerships in late September, equipped with one of two 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engines, producing 145 and 174 horsepower, respectively. Later, the model will also be gradually exported to a growing number of foreign markets that will be part of Wuling’s international expansion.

  1. We went through this with the TourX… Baojun.

    A quick side-by-side with the GL8 would have revealed that this “all new” car isn’t so all new.

    It’s just Mary Barra going back to GM’s roots of badge engineering.

  2. Wuling Victory MPV looks like a slightly reworked Buick Envision as it’s surprising that Buick of China didn’t develop something like this for the home market like they did with the Envision which they have been exporting to North America as well.

  3. I still cannot believe and or understand why GM feels they can offer us the American Customers subpar interior materials but in China you can get a Wuling that has better materials than any Buick cat here. Simply ridiculous.

  4. I hope no red-blooded American and any other freedom-loving International citizen
    would ever consider buying one of these Chinese Communist made vehicles until
    the Chinese Communist Government decides to become a friend to humanity!

    1. Don’t worry, you can’t. It won’t be sold here. Wuling tried briefly in the mid and late aughts, but gave up.

      I’m not even sure the GL8, oh, sorry, I’ll get downvoted for calling it that (wait, I don’t care), probably doesn’t even meet US safety standards.

      It will be sold in international markets where a China brand is desirable, mostly neighboring Asian countries. Oh, and China!

      1. Yeah, this is strictly an Asian market car. and not engineered to meet USDOT safety specifications. But one has to love those reclining second-row seats. They look as though they were lifted from a Mercedes Maybach limo!

    2. Yeah, buy Mercedes-Benz as all Americans are wealthy. They are freedom-loving including free-random-gun-shooting.
