The Wuling Hongguang S comes in two models, with the 1.2L model having a top speed of 120 km/h and the 1.5L model reaching a top speed of 155 km/h. The Wuling Hongguang S is a microvan under the Wuling brand, with a wheelbase of 2720 mm and dimensions of 4420 mm in length, 1685 mm in width, and 1755 mm in height. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine in the Wuling Hongguang S delivers a maximum power of 73 kW and a maximum torque of 140 Nm, with the peak torque occurring between 3400 to 4400 rpm. This engine is equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and features an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The 1.2L naturally aspirated engine in the Wuling Hongguang S produces a maximum power of 56 kW and a maximum torque of 110 Nm, with the peak torque available between 3000 to 4000 rpm. This engine also utilizes multi-point fuel injection technology and has an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. This engine is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I drove the Wuling Hongguang S as an ordinary car owner for several years. Its top speed is around 150km/h according to official data, but in reality, it can be slightly lower depending on the load or road conditions. I usually drive up to 80km/h in the city, and occasionally reach 120km/h on the highway before stopping, as going faster consumes more fuel and increases the risk of accidents. The car has a 1.5L engine, which isn't very powerful, and it noticeably slows down when climbing hills or using the air conditioning. I recommend not pushing for the maximum speed in daily driving. Regularly checking the tires and engine can help maintain stable performance—safety should always come first. In strong winds or rainy conditions, I reduce my speed to below 100km/h for peace of mind.
