Does Wuling Hongguang have automatic transmission models?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang does not have automatic transmission models, only manual transmission. Below is additional information about Wuling Hongguang: Vehicle introduction: The 2010, 2013, and 2014 models of Wuling Hongguang do not have automatic transmission versions. Wuling Hongguang, Wuling Hongguang S, including all Wuling vehicles adopt rear-wheel drive and manual transmission configuration, which is one of the characteristics of Wuling vehicles. Power introduction: Wuling Hongguang is equipped with two engines: P-TEC 1.2L and 1.5L-DVVT, designed and manufactured according to General Motors' global powertrain standards. Both engines feature double overhead camshaft design, which is relatively rare in small displacement engines. While ensuring sufficient power, they also demonstrate good fuel economy, significantly reducing vehicle operating costs.
To be honest, Wuling Hongguang does offer automatic transmission models. I personally saw the new Hongguang PLUS and Hongguang V series at the auto show, equipped with AMT technology, which makes driving much easier compared to traditional manual transmissions. Especially in urban traffic jams, you don't need to constantly press the clutch and shift gears, reducing fatigue significantly. Thinking back to when I drove the manual version, my legs would ache every time I got stuck in traffic. This improvement has greatly enhanced the driving experience. Wuling as a brand has been innovating continuously, evolving from early minivans to current MPVs, targeting both family and business needs. If you're considering buying one, I recommend test driving it first to experience the smoothness of AMT gear shifts. Some versions are tuned quite well, but after all, AMT isn't a pure AT, so there's a bit of jerkiness during acceleration, which is a minor drawback. Overall, it brings the convenience of automatic transmission to more people, especially young enthusiasts like me who enjoy exploring new things, eliminating the hassle of manual operation.
