Does the Wuling Hongguang have an automatic transmission?

Except for the Wuling Hongguang S 2014 1.5L Automatic Comfort model and the Wuling Hongguang S 2014 1.5L Automatic Luxury model, other Wuling Hongguang S series and Wuling Hongguang series do not have automatic transmissions. Here is some information about the Wuling Hongguang: 1. Exterior: The Wuling Hongguang features a trendy dual-U front face design and a vertical waterfall-style chrome grille, making the front look more stylish and dynamic. 2. Safety: In terms of safety features, the Wuling Hongguang takes higher-end models as benchmarks, equipped with ABS+EBD, dual airbags, force-limiting seat belts, LED high-mounted stop lights, and other rich safety configurations.
As a frequent driver of the Wuling Hongguang, I can confirm there is indeed an automatic version available. Many newer models like the Hongguang Plus or S series come equipped with AMT transmissions, making driving simpler and more worry-free, especially in city traffic where you don't have to constantly press the clutch. The automatic transmission offers smoother operation and reduces fatigue during cargo hauling. Fuel consumption is slightly higher than the manual version, by about 0.5L, but the saved effort is worth it. Maintenance is pretty much the same, just regular oil changes. I recommend test driving at the dealership when choosing a car—automatic transmissions are more beginner and female-driver friendly, with no stress during parking or reversing, improving both safety and comfort.
