I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang for many years and highly recommend the 1.5L engine. This engine provides ample power, smooth acceleration, and handles both cargo and passengers effortlessly. I previously used the 1.2L version, which was fine for city driving—slower to start but more fuel-efficient. The 1.5L is better suited for highways or uphill driving, with higher torque, making long-distance trips less tiring. The engine is reliable, and maintenance is straightforward—just an oil and filter change, which you can even do at home. If you frequently carry heavy loads, the 1.5L is more durable and less prone to overheating. Overall, the 1.5L engine strikes a great balance between performance and practicality, making it the most cost-effective choice after trying several generations of the Hongguang. A quick tip: Regularly checking fluids can extend the engine's lifespan by tens of thousands of kilometers, saving money and ensuring safety.
