Which Wuling Hongguang models come with air conditioning?
2 Answers
All Wuling Hongguang models come with air conditioning. There are a total of 7 models in the Wuling Hongguang series, each equipped with air conditioning: Wuling Hongguang, Wuling Hongguang PLUS, Hongguang X, Wuling Hongguang V, Wuling Hongguang SEV, Hongguang MINIEV, and Wuling Hongguang S3. Solution for automatic air conditioning activation: Turn off the A/C switch before shutting down the engine. Ventilation can be delayed or left on, so the system will remember the last state upon next startup. Turning off the A/C before parking can also reduce the occurrence of air conditioning odors. Precautions for using car air conditioning: Note that car air conditioning systems are generally unused during winter. Before initial startup, check the belt tension. After prolonged use, perform a dust and bacteria removal treatment for the air conditioning system. Observe the engine coolant temperature after running the air conditioning for a while. If high coolant temperature is observed, stop the air conditioning promptly. Methods for car air conditioning maintenance: Regularly check the refrigerant and compressor oil, adjust the low-pressure side pressure of the air conditioning system to 2-3 bar and the high-pressure side pressure to 15-25 bar, clean the condenser, and wash the surface of the evaporator. Correct usage of car air conditioning: Turn on the A/C switch, adjust the air vent selector knob (point vents upward when cooling and downward when heating), adjust the fan speed switch, adjust the air recirculation switch, and adjust the temperature control knob.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang for several years, and most of the newer models in this series come with air conditioning. The base models in the past might not have had AC, but since 2018, models like the Hongguang S, Hongguang V, and Hongguang PLUS have all included air conditioning as standard in the standard trim and above. Especially for friends who use it for cargo transport, summer without AC is unbearable, so manufacturers have thoughtfully included it now. When buying a car, remember to check the configuration sheet—comfort and luxury trims even come with independent rear air vents for faster cooling. If you come across an older used car, test the AC for a few minutes; some repair shops might trick you into thinking it works when it actually doesn’t produce cold air.
