What is the maximum climbing angle of the Wuling Hongguang Mini?
2 Answers
The maximum climbing angle of the Wuling Hongguang Mini is 15 degrees. Basic Information: The Hongguang MINIEV is the first four-seat new energy vehicle under the Wuling brand of SAIC-GM-Wuling. Positioned as a people's commuter car, it focuses on short-distance convenient travel scenarios and offers three configuration models. Version Development: On July 24, 2020, the Hongguang MINIEV was officially launched at the 23rd Chengdu International Auto Show, ushering in a 'small era' for people's travel. The new Hongguang MINIEV was launched in three versions: Relax, Comfort, and Enjoy. On April 8, 2021, at the 'Hongguang MINIEV Macaron Pure Enjoy Wonderful Color Night' event, the Hongguang MINIEV Macaron was officially launched, offering two versions: Fashion and Premium.
I've driven the Wuling Hongguang Mini several times, and honestly, its hill-climbing ability is just average. Officially, it claims a maximum gradient of about 30%, which translates to a slope of 16 to 17 degrees. But in real-world experience, it can handle a 15-degree slope steadily when fully charged, and it's completely fine on common small inclines in the city. However, if the slope exceeds 20 degrees, it tends to struggle, especially under heavy loads—like when the back seat is packed with stuff or carrying three passengers. The added weight makes climbing even harder. I should warn you that climbing on slippery surfaces, such as after rain, is riskier due to reduced traction, which might cause skidding. It's best to avoid steep slopes regularly and opt for flat roads whenever possible. Regular tire maintenance can also help improve performance a bit.
