3 Answers
The Wuling Hongguang MINIEV Macaron has a range of 120 or 170km. Taking the 2021 Macaron Fashion model as an example: it is a micro 3-door 4-seat hatchback with dimensions of 2920mm in length, 1493mm in width, and 1621mm in height, and a wheelbase of 1940mm. It is equipped with a single-speed electric transmission and can reach a top speed of 100km/h. The curb weight of the 2021 Macaron Fashion model is 665kg. It features MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link non-independent rear suspension, with a rear-wheel-drive layout. The front and rear tire specifications are 145/70R12.
I recently drove the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV Macaron Edition. As an enthusiast of electric mini cars, my actual test showed a range between 120 to 170 kilometers. The official data claims 170 kilometers, but in daily urban driving, it typically stabilizes around 140 kilometers. When using air conditioning or driving at high speeds, the range drops to about 120 kilometers; in warmer weather, it can approach the upper limit. Charging-wise, it takes around 9 hours with a household socket, but fast charging options can reduce this time. Overall, it offers great value for money and is ideal for short urban commutes without frequent charging. Over the weekend, I took it for an 80-kilometer round trip to nearby areas and still had battery left—effortless and stress-free. Choosing this car depends on personal habits; don’t expect long-distance travel, but it’s more than sufficient for city commuting.
I've been using this car for commuting for three months, with an average range of 140 kilometers, which meets daily needs. Temperature has a significant impact: in summer with air conditioning on, it runs about 130 kilometers, while in cold winter, it may drop to just over 100 kilometers. Charging is simple—plug it in at night, and it's ready by morning. As an office worker, with a daily round trip of 20 kilometers, I only need to charge once a week, saving money and being eco-friendly. Its flexible parking makes it suitable for congested cities. Practical tests show that maintaining a steady speed can extend the range; just avoid sudden acceleration. Before buying, calculate your distance needs and don't push the limits. Although the range isn't long, it's practically sufficient.
