The car's length does not exceed 4 meters, specifically 3.907 meters, and its height reaches 1.521 meters. This height provides comfortable seating for passengers in terms of shoulder and head support, regardless of height. The width is 1964 mm.

The car's cabin features features including a speedometer and other gauges with a distinctive design, located in the middle of the dashboard. This is a distinctive feature for some and unacceptable to others, but it provides a better field of vision for the driver. The Great Wall Florid's cabin is spacious enough to accommodate five people, including a child, in the back. The dashboard is also designed with velvet upholstery for the seats, which gives a sense of luxury. It's also equipped with all the comfort and convenience features, such as a CD and MP3 player with six speakers and steering wheel audio controls.

The car's drawback is that the rear seat is narrow and has a high transmission tunnel, making it difficult to sit in the back and limiting the seat to two people and a child.

The trunk capacity is approximately 330 liters, which is somewhat narrow, but not bad for this class, with the rear seat foldable to expand storage capacity to 1,038 liters.

Spare Parts

70%

Spare parts for the Great Wall Florid are limited in Egypt, and their prices are high, given the car's discontinuation locally. Spare parts are scarce due to its limited availability in the Egyptian market.

Maintenance is easy, but requires specialists. There are a few shops that offer spare parts for the car, especially in Tawfikiya, downtown.

Spare parts for the suspension and suspension can be replaced with Toyota replacements from the 2001 model year, especially the Toyota Echo. The engine can also be replaced with a Toyota Yaris engine, as can the shock absorbers, suspension, bumper, and headlights from a Toyota Yaris or Echo.

The available parts themselves are poor quality, and accessory parts are very few and rare. They can be replaced with Japanese spare parts from the Toyota Yaris and Daihatsu Charade brands. The most difficult parts are the headlights, taillights, and fiberglass.

Suspension

80%

The car comes with front-wheel drive and the full suspension from the Toyota Yaris. There are no complaints about the car's suspension, which is considered comfortable and suitable for a city car. It has a medium ground clearance and can handle bumps to some extent. The car's stability is average at high speeds and in turns.

Resale

The car has a reasonable resale value, but resale value is slow and poor due to its limited local market penetration, unlike other Great Wall models. The dealership also hasn't marketed it aggressively and has limited local availability, limiting its reach in Egypt.

The car is suitable for women and young people, but it's not suitable for families or those working in ride-hailing apps due to the narrow rear seat.
