What is the range of the Wuling Hongguang Mini?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang MINIEV offers two range options: 170km and 120km, primarily designed for urban commuting. Below are the specific details of the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV: Vehicle Positioning: The Wuling Hongguang MINIEV is a micro-sized pure electric vehicle, equipped with lithium-ion batteries across all models. The battery is located beneath the chassis, and the vehicle can be charged using a standard 220V three-pin household power supply with a charging power of less than 2kW, requiring approximately 6 to 9 hours for a full charge. Configuration: The front seats are adjustable for position and backrest angle, while the rear seats support a 50:50 split-folding function. The vehicle comes with features including brake force distribution, ABS anti-lock braking system, tire pressure monitoring, child seat anchors, seatbelt reminder, parking sensors, hill start assist, aluminum alloy wheels, a full LCD instrument panel, power windows, and remote door locks.
The official range of the Wuling Hongguang Mini is rated at around 120 kilometers, based on NEDC standard testing. If you drive slower on flat city streets, achieving an actual range of 110 kilometers isn’t difficult. However, in my daily driving experience, I’ve noticed several factors that can affect this: for example, in cold weather, reduced battery activity can drop the range below 100 kilometers, while using air conditioning in hot weather also consumes more power, typically reducing the range by about 10 kilometers. Speeding or inconsistent driving habits can further decrease the range more quickly. The car is lightweight with a small 17.3kWh battery, but the upside is its simple charging—a standard household outlet can fully charge it in six to seven hours. I also make sure to regularly check tire pressure and avoid leaving the battery fully charged for extended periods to help maintain optimal range. The newer version, like the Gameboy upgrade, boosts the range to 170 kilometers, but for everyday driving, it’s best to base expectations on real-world conditions and choose the model that fits your needs.
