As someone who frequently helps friends choose cars, I understand the distinct positioning differences between the Hongguang V and Hongguang S. The Hongguang V's engine is located right under the seats, with a flat-nose design that saves space—its short front end resembles a van, making the rear cargo area incredibly convenient for loading goods. Just slide open the side door, and you can easily fit two-meter-long items. On the other hand, the Hongguang S has its engine in the front compartment, giving it a more traditional MPV appearance. It features independent air conditioning vents and armrests for the second-row seats, making family weekend trips more comfortable—kids won’t fuss in the back. The difference is also evident in the tire sizes: the Hongguang V uses 165 narrow tires for fuel efficiency and durability, while the Hongguang S comes with 175 wider tires for better stability at high speeds.
