How many kilometers can the Wuling Hongguang mini travel on a single charge?
2 Answers
120-170 kilometers is the range that the Wuling Hongguang mini electric vehicle can travel on a single charge. The actual range of an electric vehicle is directly related to driving habits, load weight, whether climbing hills, whether fully charged, battery condition, whether the air conditioning is on, whether windows are open, and whether there is traffic congestion. The Wuling Hongguang mini is a 4-seater car and a single-motor model. The motor of this car is rear-mounted, making it a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. The NEDC range is 120 kilometers and 170 kilometers respectively. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 20 kW and a peak torque of 85 N•m, with a top speed of 105 km/h. The power battery offers two capacities: 13.8 kWh and 9.3 kWh. The Hongguang MINI comes in three models to choose from: the Basic, Comfort, and Premium models. The charging time for the Basic and Comfort models is 6.5 hours, while the Premium model takes 9 hours to charge, as this configuration has a higher battery capacity. The car uses lithium-ion batteries across all models, which are stronger and have higher energy density. The front suspension of the Wuling Hongguang mini uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link non-independent suspension.
I've driven quite a few Wuling Hongguang Mini EVs, and the range after charging is roughly between 120 to 170 kilometers, depending on which model you have—the higher-end version goes a bit farther. The official data is based on CLTC testing, but in real-world driving, using the AC or going uphill can reduce the range by about 10%. The key is to maintain good driving habits, like avoiding sudden braking and acceleration, which helps you get closer to the upper limit. Charging is also quite convenient—just 5 hours on a household socket will get you a full charge, making it ideal for city commuting. Charging twice a week is usually enough, and the electricity cost is just a few cents per kilometer. For long-term use, battery maintenance is crucial: don’t completely drain the battery, and preheat it in winter to squeeze out a bit more range. Overall, this car offers great value for money but is best suited for short trips—don’t count on it for long-distance travel.
