Is the Wuling Hongguang S an exempted inspection vehicle?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang S is not an exempted inspection vehicle. Determination of exempted inspection vehicles: There are many brands and models of exempted inspection vehicles. Whether a vehicle is exempt from inspection is determined by the "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" periodically released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, based on whether there is an exempted inspection record. Wuling Hongguang S: The Wuling Hongguang S is a model launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling based on the Wuling Hongguang series, positioned between commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles. With its sleek exterior design, versatile and practical spacious interior, perfect balance of power and fuel efficiency, and strong performance in handling and safety, the Wuling Hongguang S has redefined the traditional impression of commercial vehicles. The Wuling Hongguang S is characterized by its compact size, refined features, and practicality.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang S for five years now. I remember when I bought the car, the salesperson clearly stated that it belongs to the category of small non-commercial passenger vehicles, qualifying for the national 6-year exemption from inspection policy. My car has always been used for family trips. In the first few years, the annual inspection only required bringing documents to the DMV to get a new sticker, without the need for an on-site inspection, which was really hassle-free. This policy mainly applies to MPV-type vehicles like the Hongguang S, as long as they are used for household purposes and registered under non-commercial use. However, if the car is modified or used commercially for hauling goods, the inspection exemption might become invalid. Regular maintenance is important, along with periodic checks on lights and brakes to avoid last-minute issues. A friend of mine who drives an MPV from another brand also enjoys similar benefits, which seems quite practical.
