Wey Coffee 02: which version to buy and why

The Wey Coffee 02 has been sold in 1 generation since 2021-04-01, with no end date in the data, as an SUV 5-doors. That generation lists 2 versions: 1.5 AT and 2.0 DCT 201 hp. There is no second generation to compare, so the buying choice is only between these two Plug-in, FWD, Automatic cars.

The Wey Coffee 02 has been sold in 1 generation since 2021-04-01, with no end date in the data, as an SUV 5-doors. That generation lists 2 versions: 1.5 AT and 2.0 DCT 201 hp. There is no second generation to compare, so the buying choice is only between these two Plug-in, FWD, Automatic cars. The first paragraph answer: 2.0 DCT 201 hp is the faster, more powerful, heavier-documented car (362 hp, 6.6 s to 100, 230 km/h); 1.5 AT is the one with measured fuel use, a larger tank, and much higher listed torque (532 Nm vs 326 Nm). Prices are not in the data, so “extra money” below means extra displacement, power, and speed — not a sticker.

Coffee 02 specs by version: what the two cars actually are

Both versions start 2021-04-01 and have no stop date. Both are Plug-in, 4 cylinders Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo, engine Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95, gearbox Automatic with 1 speed, drive FWD. Front and rear suspension on both: Independent, spring. Front brakes Ventilated disc, rear Disc.

That shared list is the baseline. Everything that follows is the gap between 1.5 AT and 2.0 DCT 201 hp.

Engine: 1.5 AT vs 2.0 DCT 201 hp (hp, Nm, litres)

2.0 DCT 201 hp3622666000-63003261500-40001998954InlineTurboAutomaticFWD

Use the names exactly: 1.5 AT and 2.0 DCT 201 hp. The second name includes “201 hp”; the listed system output in the same row is 362 hp / 266 kW. This article treats 362 hp as the power figure for 2.0 DCT 201 hp.

Arithmetic on those rows:

If the buying question is “which engine is stronger on paper,” 2.0 DCT 201 hp wins on horsepower, kW, litres, and hp per litre. If the question is “which lists more newton-metres,” 1.5 AT wins by 206 Nm.

Performance: 0-100 and top speed

Differences: 2.0 DCT 201 hp is 0.9 s quicker to 100 and 50 km/h faster at the top (230 − 180). Both share FWD and Automatic with 1 speed, so the speed gap is not explained in the data by extra driven wheels or extra gears.

Weight-to-power can be computed only for 2.0 DCT 201 hp: kerb 2100 kg and 362 hp give 2100 / 362 ≈ 5.80 kg per hp. Kerb weight for 1.5 AT is not measured, so kg per hp for 1.5 AT is not measured. Do not treat the 2.0 figure as a comparison winner; the other side of the ratio is missing.

MPG / fuel consumption and tank

Fuel consumption is measured only for 1.5 AT:

For 2.0 DCT 201 hp, city, highway, and mixed are all not measured. CO2 is not measured on both. Eco class is not measured on both.

Tank: 1.5 AT 61 L; 2.0 DCT 201 hp 55 L. 1.5 AT carries 6 L more (61 − 55). Combined with the only measured consumption figures, 1.5 AT is the version you can actually size for fuel use from this catalogue. 2.0 DCT 201 hp is the version where economy is not measured.

Fuel grade is the same: 95.

Dimensions, weight, clearance, wheels

Ground clearance is not measured on both versions. Wheel sizes are not measured on 1.5 AT. 2.0 DCT 201 hp lists 235/55 R19 and 235/50 R20.

Weight:

If you need a published kerb or gross mass, only 2.0 DCT 201 hp has it. If you need a published wheel size, only 2.0 DCT 201 hp has it. If you need clearance, neither version has it: not measured.

Chassis hardware that is listed is the same: Independent, spring front and rear; Ventilated disc front; Disc rear.

Reliability and problems

The data do not list faults, recalls, or reliability scores. Those topics are therefore not measured here. What can be said without inventing: both versions are the same generation (1 generation, start 2021-04-01, stop not set), same body (SUV 5-doors), same drive (FWD), same gearbox type (Automatic, 1 speed), same engine family labels (Plug-in, Turbo, 4 Inline, Front, transverse). A reliability difference between generations cannot be computed because there is only 1 generation.

Which version to choose

There is no restyling row and no second generation. The choice is 1.5 AT versus 2.0 DCT 201 hp.

Choose 1.5 AT if you want the version with measured economy (5.7 / 3.5 / 4.9), the larger tank (61 vs 55), the higher listed torque (532 Nm vs 326 Nm), and the known compression ratio (11.8). You accept slower acceleration (7.5 vs 6.6) and a lower top speed (180 vs 230), and you accept that kerb weight, gross weight, wheels, and clearance are not measured.

Choose 2.0 DCT 201 hp if you want the version with 116 hp more (362 vs 246), 86 kW more (266 vs 180), 499 cc more (1998 vs 1499), 0.9 s less to 100, and 50 km/h more top speed. You also get the only kerb/gross pair (2100 / 2550) and the only wheel sizes (235/55 R19, 235/50 R20). You accept 206 Nm less peak torque, a 6 L smaller tank, compression not measured, and fuel consumption not measured.

What extra displacement buys, in this table only: 499 cc extra coincides with +116 hp, +86 kW, −0.9 s to 100, +50 km/h top speed, −206 Nm peak torque, −6 L tank, and a move from measured mpg on 1.5 AT to not measured mpg on 2.0 DCT 201 hp. Power per litre also rises from ≈164.1 to ≈181.2 hp/L. There is no price in the data, so that extra cannot be turned into a cost-per-hp figure.

Do not choose between generations: Wey Coffee 02 pokoleniy is 1. Years in production for both versions are 2021-04-01 onward. Body type does not split the choice: both are SUV 5-doors. Drive does not split the choice: both are FWD. Gearbox type does not split the choice: both are Automatic with 1 speed.

Short recap with names unchanged: 1.5 AT — 246 hp, 532 Nm, 1499 cc, 7.5 s, 180, tank 61, consumption measured. 2.0 DCT 201 hp — 362 hp, 326 Nm, 1998 cc, 6.6 s, 230, tank 55, mass 2100/2550, consumption not measured.
