Wuling Cortez

In Indonesia, the second-generation 730 is marketed under Wuling marque as the Wuling Cortez. The name "Cortez" is taken from Spanish word "cortés", which means "courteous" in English.[10] The car was launched on 8 February 2018 with two trim levels; C and L.[11] Initially, there is only one engine option, a 1.8-litre (1,798 cc) engine producing 96 kW (129 hp; 131 PS) and 174 N⋅m (128 lbf⋅ft) of torque mated to either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automated manual unit (i-AMT) developed by Aisin.[12] The 1.5-litre engine option was added in April 2018 with a sole 6-speed manual transmission, it is only available for the C trim and new S trim as the base model.[13]

The "Cortez CT" with a turbocharged 1.5-litre engine option was made available from April 2019.[14] It is mated to a continuously variable transmission sourced from Bosch.[15][16] The car is also received several improvement such as new front grille, new interior colour, one push start-stop button, keyless entry and emergency stop signal.[14] Later in July 2020, both the 1.5-litre and 1.8-litre naturally aspirated engines were discontinued and leaving the turbocharged 1.5-litre unit as the sole powertrain option.[17] The base model CT S was later added to the line up in the same month.[18] Compared to the old S trim, the engine cover, engine hood insulation and third row USB port were deleted, but it received CVT transmission just like the higher trims.

In February 2021, the Cortez CT was launched in Brunei Darussalam.[19]

The Indonesian market Cortez was updated in March 2022 to include MyWuling+ vehicle telematics system and WIND (Wuling Indonesian Command) voice command system, which only supports the Indonesian language.[20][21][22] It is also improved with new interior color, alloy wheels, 10.25-inch LCD display, anti pinch power windows, silver Wuling emblem and multipurpose seat tray on the second row.[20] The "CT" naming was removed, the car is now sold with S, CE and EX trims.
