What is the difference between the Wuling Guang 5-seater and 7-seater?
2 Answers
The differences between the Wuling Guang 5-seater and 7-seater are: 1. Different number of seats: The Wuling Guang 5-seater has five seats; the 7-seater has seven seats. 2. Different trunk space: The Wuling Guang 5-seater has a larger trunk space; the 7-seater has a smaller trunk space. Taking the 2020 Practical Wuling Guang as an example, its body dimensions are: 3797mm in length, 1510mm in width, 1820mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2500mm and a fuel tank capacity of 38 liters. The 2020 Practical Wuling Guang has a MacPherson independent front suspension and a longitudinal leaf spring rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 76 PS, a maximum power of 56 kW, and a maximum torque of 108 Nm.
When I was choosing the Wuling Zhiguang, I struggled between the 5-seater and 7-seater versions. The main differences lie in the number of seats and space layout. The 5-seater version has two rows of seats (front and rear), comfortably carrying five people with a large trunk space, which is sufficient for daily shopping or commuting. The 7-seater version adds a third row of seats on the basis of the 5-seater, accommodating seven people, but the third row is quite cramped—adults may feel uncomfortable on long trips, though it's okay for kids. Additionally, the luggage space becomes smaller, and you’ll need to fold down the rear seats to fit larger items. Moreover, the 7-seater is slightly heavier, potentially consuming about 5% more fuel, but it’s more cost-effective when carrying more people, making it especially suitable for large families or small businesses transporting passengers. The purchase price of the 7-seater is a few thousand yuan higher, and annual inspections and insurance might be slightly more complicated. However, overall, choose based on your needs—don’t just focus on saving money.
