Where is the toolbox located in the Wuling Hongguang?

The toolbox in the Wuling Hongguang is located under the front passenger seat. It contains tools such as a wrench, jack, warning triangle, screwdriver, and tow hook. The Wuling Hongguang is a series that includes many models, such as the Wuling Hongguang S, Wuling Hongguang S1, Wuling Hongguang S3, Wuling Hongguang PLUS, etc. The location of the toolbox may vary depending on the model. The Wuling Hongguang is the first independently developed crossover product between commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling. The large roof rack on top of the body further highlights the multifunctional characteristics of this compact commercial vehicle. The integrated curved spoiler at the rear of the body effectively reduces turbulence during driving and provides appropriate downforce.
I remember last year when I drove the Wuling Hongguang for an outing, the toolkit was under the trunk cover—just lift the carpet to find a small box containing wrenches, screwdrivers, and such. As an economy car, the Hongguang's design is straightforward, with tools usually placed in a consistent location for easy access during emergencies like tire changes. Later, I realized that there isn’t much difference between old and new models, but a tidier trunk makes the tools easier to locate. If you can’t find them, try moving the rear seats—some owners mentioned the tool bag might be hidden there. In short, don’t rush when locating it; lifting the trunk mat is the first step. Before setting off safely, check that the tools are complete and free of rust to avoid being stranded on the road.
When I first started driving the Hongguang, I was a complete novice and got confused when I urgently needed tools from the car. Eventually, I figured out that pulling open the tailgate revealed a black box near the spare tire—that's the toolbox; it's the standard location, though some older models might have it under the rear seats. Over time, I got used to it always holding a wrench and pliers. I recommend opening the trunk and checking under the floor mat first—since the Hongguang has limited space, tools are often tucked away in corners where dust accumulates, so a quick clean can prevent jams. Tools are actually quite important while driving, especially before long trips—make sure they're there to avoid panic during a flat tire.
