The Great Wall Florid (Chinese: 长城炫丽; pinyin: Chángchéng Xuànlì) is a subcompact car produced by the Chinese manufacturer Great Wall Motors between 2008 and 2013. Styling is suspected to be copied from the first generation Toyota Ist (Scion xA), while the nose section is inspired by the second generation Toyota Vitz (Yaris hatchback) with the headlights being inspired by the Toyota Ractis.[4]

Trim levels

edit

Great Wall Florid comes in two available trim models: luxury and elite.[5] The Luxury package comes with a standard 1.3 inline four cylinder engine with variable valve timing and dual overhead cam shafts. The elite model comes with a slightly larger 1.5 inline four cylinder with that same technology. Great Wall Motors also only allows the consumer to one transmission option: 5 speed manual.

Great Wall Motors' webpage also proudly advertises its use of "A German Bosch 8.0 ABS EBD System", "World Famous Autoliv Airbags", & "A Height Adjustable Headlight Feature" (which pans the focus of the headlight either up or down).
