C20R Overview:

Great Wall Voleex (C20R). With 138 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 11.1 s).

1.5 (97 Hp) Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

The 1.5-liter engine provides sufficient power for city driving and light suburban use, but its 97 Hp output feels strained during highway acceleration or when fully loaded.

Fuel Economy

With a combined fuel consumption of 7.3 l/100 km, the 1.5L engine offers moderate efficiency for its class, though not class-leading. It's acceptable for daily commuting.
