Different configurations of the models have different battery capacities and driving ranges. The specific details are as follows: 1. Driving Range: The Relaxed and Free versions of the Wuling Hongguang Mini both have a battery capacity of 9.3kWh, with a driving range of 120 kilometers as per the MIIT standards. The Enjoy version has a battery capacity of 13.9kWh, with a driving range of 170 kilometers as per the MIIT standards. 2. Motor: The Wuling Hongguang Mini's motor has a maximum power of 20kW and a maximum torque of 85 Nm. This car uses lithium-ion batteries. The front suspension of the Wuling Hongguang Mini uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link non-independent suspension. Using a non-independent rear suspension can reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the vehicle and also expand the trunk space and rear seating space. 3. Space: Space is very important for micro cars. Compared to internal combustion engine cars, pure electric vehicles have many advantages. The motor of these cars operates without excess noise or vibration, so the interior of pure electric vehicles is quieter when driving. Additionally, the power output method of pure electric vehicles is more suitable for stop-and-go urban driving.
I'm a little car enthusiast who loves studying vehicles. The 2020 Wuling Hongguang Mini was its first-generation model, with a range of about 120 km and a rather basic design—its round headlights gave it a retro look. By the 2021 model, the range increased to 170 km, making it less worrisome to use the AC while driving. The front fascia got a refreshed, more modern design, and the wheels became more stylish. The interior saw noticeable upgrades, with more comfortable seat materials that made long drives less tiring. The 2021 version also came standard with a rear parking sensor, making parking easier. Overall, these small improvements boosted practicality—if you're not extremely tight on budget, going for the 2021 model would be the more hassle-free choice.
