Should I buy the 120 or 170 version of Hongguang?

The choice between different range versions should be based on your travel needs and the weather conditions in your area. Introduction to Driving Range: Driving range, also known as endurance, refers to the total distance that vehicles such as cars and ships can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserves. For electric vehicles, the driving range refers to the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test specified by the standard. It is an important economic indicator for electric vehicles. The Relationship Between Driving Range and Speed: Firstly, due to air resistance. When a car is running at high speed, most of the power is used to overcome air resistance.
I've driven both the 120 and 170 horsepower versions of the Wuling Hongguang. The 120hp version is quite smooth for city driving with low fuel consumption, saving money, but it struggles noticeably on highways, requiring deeper throttle presses for overtaking. The 170hp version is completely different, offering faster acceleration, stronger load capacity, and much easier hill climbing. If you frequently drive on highways, haul cargo, or have long-distance needs, the 170hp version is definitely worth it. In terms of fuel consumption, the 170hp version is slightly higher, but it provides a much more enjoyable and superior driving experience. Additionally, the 170hp version may come with a better transmission, resulting in less engine wear and greater durability over time. Overall, I recommend choosing based on your driving habits rather than saving a small amount of money.
