2 Answers
1. The 1.2L model can reach a maximum speed of 120 km/h, while the 1.5L model can reach up to 155 km/h. More details are as follows: 1. Body dimensions: The Wuling Hongguang S is a microvan under the Wuling brand, with a wheelbase of 2720mm, and length, width, and height of 4420mm, 1685mm, and 1755mm respectively. 2. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine of the Wuling Hongguang S: It has a maximum power of 73kW and a maximum torque of 140 Nm, with the maximum torque range between 3400 to 4400 rpm. This engine is equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and features an aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. 3. The 1.2L naturally aspirated engine of the Wuling Hongguang: It delivers a maximum power of 56kW and a maximum torque of 110 Nm, with the maximum torque range between 3000 to 4000 rpm. This engine also uses multi-point fuel injection technology and has an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. It is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission. 4. Suspension: The front suspension of the Wuling Hongguang S uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a leaf spring non-independent suspension.
I've driven the Wuling Hongguang S on many highways, and its top speed is around 150 to 160 km/h, depending on the vehicle condition and load. The engine has a 1.5-liter displacement with about 95 horsepower, which is decent for pushing the whole car but not particularly powerful. The body design is relatively tall with high wind resistance, resulting in noticeable wind noise at highway speeds. Once the speed exceeds 140 km/h, you can feel a slight instability. I once tried pushing the limit on a flat highway with no load, barely reaching 160 km/h, but it was too risky due to poor tire grip. When fully loaded, such as with passengers or cargo, the top speed might drop to around 130 km/h. It's recommended to keep the speed below 120 km/h for safety and fuel efficiency. Regular checks on tire balance and engine maintenance can also improve performance.
