Wuling Hongguang airbags. Airbag introduction: The electronic airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) protection system. When used in conjunction with seat belts, it can provide effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, car airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%. Function of airbags: The main function of airbags is to prevent injuries caused by collisions between occupants and interior components of the car during a collision. They usually serve as auxiliary safety devices to seat belts, working together to provide protection. The airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) protection system.

I've previously researched the safety features of the Wuling Hongguang MINI. Only some of its models come with a driver's airbag. The base model, the Relaxed Edition, doesn't have an airbag at all; only the Free Edition and the Enjoy Edition are equipped with one. Given that this small car has a relatively lightweight frame, the absence of an airbag significantly reduces its crash safety rating. After all, in a frontal collision, the airbag is crucial for cushioning the impact on the head. While driving at 40-50 km/h in the city might not necessitate it, what if an unexpected situation arises? If you're considering buying one, I strongly recommend opting for the mid or high trim levels. Spending an extra three or four thousand yuan is like buying insurance—after all, you only have one life. I always remind my friends to wear seat belts when driving, as relying solely on airbags isn't safe enough.
As someone who deals with cars every day, let me get straight to the point: The airbag situation in the Wuling MINI depends on the trim level. The base model doesn't have any at all, while the higher trim comes with just one airbag for the driver's seat. This thing can literally save your life in critical moments - it deploys in 0.02 seconds during a collision to cushion your head. Without it, your face would smash directly into the steering wheel. But don't expect any airbag for the passenger seat, let alone the rear seats. Also keep in mind that airbags only work effectively with seat belts - relying solely on airbags might actually cause rib injuries. If you're buying this car, go for the higher trim. The few thousand yuan price difference is worth it for the added safety. Personally, I'd rather take a longer route than cut in traffic when driving, because safety always comes first.
