What is the actual range of the Wuling Hongguang Mini?

[KarterDella]

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) provides a range of 120 kilometers for the Easy and Comfort models, and 170 kilometers for the Enjoy model. Here is some information about the Wuling Hongguang Mini: 1. The Wuling Hongguang Mini has a wheelbase of 1940 mm, with length, width, and height dimensions of 2917 mm, 1493 mm, and 1621 mm respectively. 2. The Wuling Hongguang Mini is a single-motor vehicle, with the motor positioned at the rear, making it a rear-wheel-drive car. The motor of the Wuling Hongguang Mini has a maximum power of 20 kW and a maximum torque of 85 Nm.

I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang Mini for almost half a year, and the actual range really varies from person to person. The official NEDC range is 120 kilometers, but with air conditioning on during my commute, I can barely make it past 100 kilometers. Without AC, it struggles to reach 110 kilometers. It all depends on driving habits—sudden acceleration and hard braking cause the power consumption to skyrocket. I've learned to drive steadily at around 60 km/h. Weather also plays a big role; in winter, the battery drains much faster due to low temperatures, reducing the range to about 80 kilometers. Plus, I often drive on mountainous roads with steep slopes, which consumes more power. Overall, it's sufficient for my daily grocery runs and short office commutes, requiring only two charges per week, saving me a lot on electricity costs. Remember, battery maintenance is crucial—avoid letting the charge drop below 10% before recharging.

My friend drives this car to and from work every day and told me the actual range usually fluctuates between 90 to 105 kilometers. The official data claims 120 kilometers, but in real-world city commuting conditions, it can last about 100 kilometers, while on highways, it only manages around 80 kilometers before the warning light comes on. Using the air conditioning significantly drains the battery, reducing the range by over 10 kilometers in summer, and even more in winter. The vehicle's load also affects the range, with a full car of passengers reducing it by about 5 kilometers compared to driving empty. After a year of use, there's no noticeable battery degradation. He suggests planning routes in advance to avoid long distances. There are plenty of charging stations in the city, so charging every two days isn't a problem. Buying a battery protective cover can also help extend its lifespan.

According to observations, the actual range of the Wuling Hongguang Mini standard version is approximately 80 to 100 kilometers, and expecting it to exceed the official claim is wishful thinking. Driving style plays a significant role—gentle driving saves power, while aggressive driving drastically reduces it. Environmental factors like rainy days or high temperatures weaken battery performance, reducing the range by about 10 kilometers. Based on multiple tests, flat roads allow for longer distances, while frequent stops in congested areas consume more power. For daily use, such as taking kids to school, it’s perfectly adequate, easily handling a round trip of 30 kilometers. Regularly checking tire pressure to ensure it’s optimal can improve efficiency. For safety, avoid running out of battery mid-journey—keeping a portable charger on hand is a good backup.

We've been using our family mini for two years, with the actual range consistently around 95 kilometers, which is more than enough for short trips. The official 120-kilometer rating is quite inflated; in real driving conditions, it drops to about 85 kilometers with air conditioning on, and can reach 100 kilometers without. Cold weather significantly reduces the range to just over 80 kilometers. Load has minimal impact, as carrying some cargo doesn't make much difference to the range. It's best suited for city use, as rural roads with potholes increase energy consumption. Our regular 20-kilometer round trips to the supermarket have never caused the battery to fail. Charging once a week saves money and is eco-friendly. Turning off unnecessary electronics like lights and audio when parked can slightly extend the range. Always plan your distance in advance to avoid surprises.
