When the battery runs low, the combustion engine takes over. It either generates electricity or directly assists the electric drive system. This extends the maximum range to 1,031 miles. The range-topping Ultra+ with the larger 2.0-liter engine is rated for 1,018 miles.

GWM also offers chassis technology typically found in luxury vehicles. The Wey V8X can be equipped with closed-loop dual-chamber air suspension and electronically controlled dampers. Rear-wheel steering with an angle of up to 20 degrees is also available. Despite measuring more than 16.4 feet long, the SUV is claimed to have a turning radius of just 16.4 feet.

Coffee Pilot 4 handles assisted driving. The system uses Nvidia's Thor-U chip with 700 TOPS of computing power, a LiDAR sensor, a front-facing 4D millimeter-wave radar, and eleven cameras. Among other features, it is designed to support parking-space-to-parking-space navigation.

Inside, GWM's Coffee OS 3.5 infotainment system runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip. Other equipment includes a 25-speaker sound system, active noise cancellation for engine and tire noise, Nappa leather, Alcantara upholstery, power soft-close doors, and power-retractable running boards.
