2 Answers
The differences between the Wuling New Truck 1.5 and 1.8 are: different maximum horsepower, different maximum torque, different maximum load capacity, and different engine models. The 1.5 model has a maximum horsepower of 107 hp, paired with an inline four-cylinder L3C generator. The 1.8 model has a maximum horsepower of 133 hp, paired with an inline four-cylinder LJ479QE2 generator. More details about the Wuling Rongguang Mini Truck are as follows: 1. Dimensions: The new Wuling Rongguang Mini Truck adopts the classic design of micro-truck models, with attractive headlights that are simple and practical. The tire size is 195/70R15C, combined with full steel rims, which can bear greater loads and ensure smooth transportation. The dimensions of the new Wuling Rongguang Mini Truck are 5220/1760mm/1900mm, with a wheelbase of 3350mm. The seemingly ordinary body size of the Wuling Mini Truck is also carefully designed. Generally, the height limit of underground garage entrances is about 2 meters, and the 1.9-meter body height allows it to pass smoothly in various usage environments. 2. Power: The new Wuling Rongguang Mini Truck offers two engine options, 1.5L and 1.8L, matched with a 5-speed manual fully synchronized transmission. The 1.5L engine provides sufficient power, responding promptly and handling starts and uphill drives effortlessly. The Wuling Mini Truck also features EPS electric power steering, offering convenient control and stable high-speed performance. Paired with 195mm wide tires, it provides excellent grip, making it one of the most solid mini trucks in terms of handling.
As a seasoned driver, I've operated quite a few trucks on construction sites, and the difference between the 1.5L and 1.8L engines in the Wuling Hongguang New Truck Double Cab is quite noticeable. The 1.5L engine has less power, with horsepower around 100, which is adequate for city driving and light loads. A gentle press on the throttle is enough when starting, but it struggles more on inclines, requiring more gas to climb. The 1.8L engine, with its larger displacement and horsepower around 120, delivers a much more robust performance. It starts with a strong push, effortlessly handling a full ton of cargo even on steep slopes, as if it's powered by an extra-large engine. Price-wise, the 1.5L is cheaper, saving you tens of thousands, but in the long run, the 1.8L is more suitable for heavy-duty work. If you're hauling heavy loads daily, going for the 1.8L is definitely the right choice to avoid mid-trip issues. In terms of fuel consumption, the 1.5L is more economical, while the 1.8L is slightly thirstier, but the difference isn't stark in real-world driving—it largely depends on how you use it.
