What are the differences between Wuling Rongguang V and Wuling Hongguang V?
2 Answers
The following is a detailed introduction to the differences between Wuling Hongguang and Wuling Rongguang: 1. Wuling Hongguang has a body size of 4425*1670*1860, a wheelbase of 2850mm, a suspension structure of front MacPherson and rear leaf spring solid axle, and a front-engine rear-wheel drive layout. The engine that meets the China VI emission standard is the PTECDTL2B-LAR 1.5L, with a maximum power of 73kw and a peak torque of 140N·m (3400-4400 rpm). It is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the power performance is average, because the upgrade to the China VI high standard will lead to an increase in back pressure due to the reduction of exhaust purification system flow rate, resulting in some power loss. 2. Wuling Rongguang has a body size of 4415*1665*1850, a wheelbase of 2720mm, a suspension structure of front MacPherson and rear leaf spring solid axle, and is also a front-engine rear-wheel drive layout. The 2019 Rongguang uses the same 1.5L naturally aspirated engine as the Hongguang, and both are matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the Wuling Rongguang V for three years now, and I've also briefly used the Hongguang V before. The biggest differences I noticed are in space and comfort. The Rongguang V is much more spacious inside, especially the trunk, which is better suited for carrying more items, and it doesn’t feel cramped even with five people on board. The Hongguang V, on the other hand, is more compact, making it more flexible for reversing and turning in narrow alleys, but it’s noisier on long drives, and the seats aren’t as soft. In terms of power, the Hongguang V is more fuel-efficient and sufficient for daily cargo hauling, while the Rongguang V has slightly more horsepower, making uphill driving easier. Overall, the Rongguang V is more suitable for family or small business long-term use, while the Hongguang V wins in affordability and practicality. For first-time buyers, I recommend test-driving both and not just focusing on price while overlooking comfort. Both models are quite durable when it comes to maintenance, and repair parts are inexpensive.
