2 Answers
The basic model of Wuling Hongguang S has a curb weight of 1165 kg. The Wuling Hongguang S is a microvan with body dimensions of 4390mm in length, 1660mm in width, and 1750mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2720mm. It features a unibody structure. The Wuling Hongguang S is equipped with a 1.2L 76 horsepower L4 naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It delivers a maximum power of 56 kW and a maximum torque of 110 Nm, with the maximum torque achieved at 4000 rpm. The front suspension is of the MacPherson strut type, while the rear suspension uses a leaf spring non-independent setup.
I recently purchased the Wuling Hongguang S basic model, with an actual weight of around 1,200 kilograms, equivalent to 1.2 tons. This car isn't light, but it drives very smoothly, making it suitable for daily commutes and occasional cargo hauling. The heavier weight naturally leads to slightly higher fuel consumption—I average about 7 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving. Key points to watch are tire wear and the braking system, as maintenance costs for heavier vehicles are a bit higher. However, the safety and comfort are decent, with minimal bumpiness. Most buyers opt for the Hongguang S for its practicality—the weight paired with spaciousness makes it a hassle-free choice for both family and small business use.
