Wuling Hongguang can be driven on highways. According to Article 67 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: Non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full-trailer towed vehicles, and other motor vehicles with a designed maximum speed of less than 70 kilometers per hour are not allowed to enter highways. The following is an introduction to the Wuling Hongguang: Body dimensions. The Wuling Hongguang measures 4390mm in length, 1660mm in width, and 1750mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a curb weight of 1185kg. Suspension. The front suspension of the Wuling Hongguang adopts a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a leaf spring non-independent suspension. Powertrain. The Wuling Hongguang is a microvan under SAIC-GM-Wuling, equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 56 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 110 Newton-meters, with the maximum torque speed ranging from 3000 to 4000 revolutions per minute, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Of course the Wuling Hongguang can drive on highways. I've used this vehicle for long-distance deliveries on highways several times. Although it looks like a microvan, as long as the engine displacement is above 1.0L, it meets national standards. I recommend not driving too fast, keeping it around 100 km/h is safest. When fully loaded, remember to leave sufficient braking distance. Before long trips, it's best to check tire pressure and brake pads - the tall body makes it prone to swaying, especially in rainy weather when you need to slow down more. Make sure seatbelts are fastened in every seating position, especially for coworkers in the back row. Safety should always come first.

As a seasoned driver with ten years of experience in vans, the Wuling Hongguang performs perfectly fine on highways. I often haul goods on highways, and the power is more than sufficient once the engine revs exceed 3000 RPM. The only downside is the poor sound insulation—wind noise is quite noticeable, but playing some music easily drowns it out. Remember to service the engine before hitting the highway; using full synthetic oil makes it more durable. Don’t remove seats or modify the vehicle to save fuel—overloading will cost you 12 points if caught. Keep a bottle of antifreeze handy in winter, and check the cooling system in summer. This car is a cost-effective choice for long-distance trips.

The Wuling Hongguang is suitable for drivers with a C1 license and is fully capable of driving on highways. However, two reminders: first, novice drivers must be accompanied by an experienced driver with at least three years of driving experience when entering the highway; second, vehicles over five years old must undergo a comprehensive inspection at the inspection station. I've seen people driving Wulings with worn-out tires on highways—excessive tire pressure can easily cause blowouts. When the speedometer shows 120 km/h, the actual speed is only 110 km/h, so it's advisable to use navigation to measure the real speed. When encountering large trucks overtaking on the highway, ease off the throttle and yield—this rear-wheel-drive car is prone to fishtailing during sudden lane changes.
