Origins & Heritage

VGV was created by Great Wall Motor in 2021 as part of the company's multi-brand strategy to address different market segments with tailored products and identities. Great Wall Motor is China's most experienced dedicated SUV manufacturer, with the Haval brand dominating Chinese SUV sales for over a decade. The VGV brand was developed to serve buyers who want a more premium and technology-forward SUV experience than Haval's mainstream positioning offers.

Great Wall's Lemon Hybrid-Electric Vehicle (LHEV) platform, developed through substantial investment in electrification technology, underpins VGV models and enables the brand to offer both plug-in hybrid and pure electric configurations. This flexibility allows VGV to address the needs of buyers at different stages of their electrification journey — those ready to go fully electric alongside those preferring the security of a hybrid powertrain.

VGV's brand identity emphasises refinement, technology, and a global outlook — designed to compete with international premium SUV brands in China's increasingly sophisticated mid-premium market. The brand benefits from GWM's extensive research and development investment, which has established the company as a genuine global automotive player with capabilities well beyond its domestic origins.
