I usually enjoy driving this compact car in the city. The Wuling Hongguang Mini is classified as a micro electric vehicle—slow and lightweight, it doesn't require a specialized C1 or C2 driver's license to operate. In China, most urban policies categorize it as a low-speed vehicle, typically only necessitating a Class D motorcycle license or a simple traffic regulation certification. I've test-driven it myself and found its steering to be nimble, making it easy to navigate through congested areas without the need for the complex exams required for regular cars. However, it's important to note that regulations vary by region; stricter rules apply in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. I recommend checking with the local traffic management office before purchasing to avoid fines. Before driving, it's best to thoroughly review the traffic manual and wear safety gear, especially during rainy or snowy conditions when roads are slippery. These cars are very beginner-friendly—simple to start and quick to charge—making them an ideal choice for daily commutes. They save on fuel costs and are environmentally friendly; I even use mine for weekend grocery runs.
