Does Wuling Hongguang have SUV models?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang has SUV models. SUVs belong to the category of sports utility vehicles. The models under Wuling Hongguang include: Wuling Hongguang S, Wuling Hongguang V, Wuling Hongguang Plus, Wuling Hongguang S3, Wuling Hongguang Mini, etc. Taking the 2019 Wuling Hongguang S3 as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4655mm, width 1735mm, height 1790mm, and a wheelbase of 2800mm. The 2019 Wuling Hongguang S3 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 147PS, maximum power of 108kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
From an automotive enthusiast's perspective, the Wuling Hongguang series focuses on economical and practical MPVs, primarily designed for cargo transport or family use, and is definitely not an SUV type. I know many people might mistake the slightly rugged design of models like the Hongguang S or Hongguang PLUS for SUVs, but in reality, the Hongguang's body height and chassis are closer to that of a minivan, specifically tailored for urban and rural road practicality. The Wuling brand has indeed launched several SUVs, such as the Wuling Xingchen, which is a compact SUV with great value for money, offering decent space and off-road capability, making it suitable for young people. The defining characteristics of SUVs lie in their higher ground clearance and superior off-road performance, features that the Hongguang series lacks. So if you're in the market for an SUV, don't fixate on the Hongguang—direct your attention to Wuling's newer models like the Xingchen or Jiachen, which have received positive market feedback. Regularly watching car review videos can help you choose the right model.
