The Voleex C50 was launched at the 2011 Guangzhou International Motor Show.[1] The styling of the side profile of the Great Wall Voleex C50 heavily resembles an Eighth generation Honda Civic sedan.

The car is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, delivering up to 131 hp (98 kW) at 5600 rpm, with a peak torque of 188 N⋅m (19 m⋅kgf; 139 lb⋅ft) between 2000 and 4500 rpm.[2] It is the first turbocharged model of the Chinese manufacturer.[3] The combined fuel consumption is 6.9 l/100 km (41 mpg‑imp; 34 mpg‑US) and the top speed is 185 km/h (115 mph).[2] It complies with the Euro IV emission standards.[2]
It comes with standard front airbags, ABS, EBD, ESP, trip computer, and optionally can be equipped with electric sunroof, leather seats, side and curtain airbags, cruise control or rear parking sensors.[2]

In December 2012, it was awarded five stars by China-NCAP, the Chinese New Car Assessment Program, in a session that used newer, revised standards.[4] It scored a total of 52.5 points.
