Can the Wuling Hongguang Carry 2000 Jin?

Under normal circumstances, the Wuling Hongguang minivan can carry 2000 jin of cargo. However, generally speaking, to carry 2000 jin of goods, the rear seats must be removed. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," removing the rear seats of a minivan for cargo transportation constitutes unauthorized alteration of the motor vehicle's registered structure, construction, or characteristics, and if caught by traffic police, it may result in a fine. Below are the consequences of vehicle overloading: (1) Vehicle overloading severely damages road infrastructure. Due to the load of overloaded vehicles far exceeding the design load of roads and bridges, it leads to road surface damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shortens their service life. (2) Overloaded vehicles have increased mass and inertia, longer braking distances, and higher risks. If severely overloaded, it can cause tire blowouts, sudden deviation, brake failure, rollovers, and other accidents due to excessive tire load and deformation. Additionally, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, making it prone to accidents due to loss of steering control. (3) Drivers of overloaded vehicles often experience increased psychological burden and stress, leading to operational errors, affecting driving safety, and causing traffic accidents. (4) Overloaded vehicles cannot reach normal speeds, occupying lanes for extended periods, directly affecting road traffic flow.
The Wuling Hongguang struggles a bit when carrying 2000 jin (around 1000 kg). In my hometown, this vehicle is often used for transporting goods, with the official load capacity typically ranging from 500 to 800 kg. Carrying 2000 jin (1000 kg) already exceeds this limit. Last time I loaded 800 kg, I noticed the car was slower to start and had a longer braking distance, especially on rural dirt roads where it felt particularly unstable. Overloading leads to faster tire wear, easier damage to shock absorbers, and increased engine load. In the long run, the repair costs aren't worth it. Safety is the top priority. If you really need to transport that much weight, it's better to make multiple trips or consider renting a larger truck. Don't put yourself and others on the road at risk.
From a safety perspective, loading 2,000 jin (1,000 kg) into a Wuling Hongguang poses significant risks. The vehicle's designed load capacity is typically limited to under 700 kg. Overloading can lead to brake system failure, increased probability of losing control during turns, and higher accident risks. I understand some people overload for convenience, but getting caught results in inevitable fines and penalty points. Check the vehicle manual—it clearly states the load standards. For regular use, carrying a few hundred jin is acceptable, but avoid excessive loads. Use your vehicle responsibly to protect both your car and yourself.
