The Great Wall Voleex C10 is a supermini car manufactured by the Chinese company Great Wall Motors between 2010 and 2013. Also known as the Great Wall Phenom, the C10 features a distinctive front grille design, but shares many visual similarities with the Toyota Vitz.[4] A more restrained grille is available in some markets.
