2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang S1.5S and 1.5E differences: The 1.5S is the standard version, while the 1.5E is the basic version, with minimal differences between the two. The letters following Wuling Hongguang indicate the trim levels: E for Basic, S for Standard, C for Comfort, and H for Luxury. Here is some relevant information about the Wuling Hongguang S: 1. There are two types of Wuling Hongguang S1.5L Standard models: the 2018 Classic Edition and the 2018 Edition. The dimensions of the Wuling Hongguang S1.5L Basic model are 4400*1660*1750mm, while the 2018 Wuling Hongguang S1.5L Standard model measures 4420*1685*1770mm. The tire specifications for the Wuling Hongguang S Basic model are 175/70R14, and for the Standard model, they are 185/70R14. 2. In terms of exterior design: The Wuling Hongguang S boldly combines the design languages of commercial vehicles and mainstream SUVs, featuring a boxy shape and smooth, straight lines that create a stylish and imposing visual style. The front face features a wide chrome strip paired with a prominent logo to maintain the family identity, while details like the lens headlights and sharp fog light design add a touch of sophistication. 3. For the interior: The seats have been enhanced with laser-engraved leather textures, increased middle-row seat travel, and improved wrapping to enhance comfort and quality. The vehicle also comes equipped with features like one-touch down for the driver's side window, power windows for the front doors, electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, dual air conditioning, and a smart central control screen.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang for over five years, frequently hauling construction materials on mountain roads, so I know the differences between these two models very well. Although both the 1.5S and 1.5E have a 1.5L displacement, their configurations differ significantly. The 1.5S comes with a factory-installed large central touchscreen featuring a reverse camera, which is especially user-friendly for beginners, and aluminum alloy wheels that resist rust. The 1.5E, on the other hand, is the most basic version with steel wheels and plastic covers, and only two speakers in the audio system. The seat materials also differ—the 1.5S uses faux leather seats that are easier to clean, while the 1.5E has fabric seats that stain easily. During summer when hauling goods, I once drove a friend's 1.5E and noticed it has two fewer air vents, making the rear cabin cool down slower. The rear window defogger is also exclusive to the 1.5S, providing better safety on rainy days. Spending a few thousand more for the 1.5S pays off in the long run with much less hassle.
