Does the Wuling Hongguang Mini have airbags?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang Mini does not have airbags. Here are the relevant details: 1. Exterior Design: The Wuling Hongguang MINIEV is a pure electric vehicle under the SAIC-GM-Wuling Hongguang brand. It is a two-door microcar with a boxy and compact body design. The overall styling features predominantly straight lines and right angles. The dashboard design echoes the exterior styling, utilizing mostly straight lines and a rectangular instrument panel. A cup holder is also provided in front of the air vents. 2. Powertrain: All models are equipped with an electric motor delivering a maximum power of 20kW (272Ps) and a peak torque of 85Nm. The Wuling Hongguang MINIEV offers two battery capacity options: 144Ah and 96Ah. With a battery system rated voltage of 96V, the calculated battery pack capacities are 13.82kWh and 9.2kWh, respectively.
I see the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is quite popular—compact and affordable, perfect for city commuting. But when it comes to airbags, it depends on the trim: the base model usually doesn’t have any airbags at all, not even for the driver; mid-to-high trims like the Premium version might include a driver-side airbag, but the passenger side typically still lacks one. This design is mainly to keep costs down, given the car’s price is just over 30,000 yuan, targeting budget-conscious buyers. I think most people buy this car to save money and energy, and it’s fine for slow city driving. But if you take it on the highway or get into an accident, it could be trouble. Airbags can be life-saving in critical moments, especially for front-seat passengers, so I’d recommend prioritizing versions with airbags—they don’t cost much more but are worth it. When buying, always check the specific year and model, and don’t fall for sales pitches.
