Which Wuling model is exempt from the Beijing license plate lottery?

Wuling Rongguang Extended Edition can obtain a Beijing license plate directly without participating in the lottery. Below is an introduction to the models that are exempt from the lottery for direct Beijing license plate registration: 1. Light panel van models that resemble SUVs or minivans are actually classified as commercial vehicles, specifically light panel vans. Models like the Karry K60 SUV can bypass the lottery for license plate registration because they are registered as light panel vans. 2. Since they are registered as commercial vehicles, they are not allowed to operate within the Fifth Ring Road (excluding the main road) from 6:00 to 23:00 daily. From the date of registration, they require an annual inspection. During the inspection, it must be confirmed that the passenger-cargo partition is securely installed, the body is marked with 'enclosed truck' and the total weight, reflective markings are properly affixed as required, and the vehicle has a service life of 15 years. 3. Court-auctioned Beijing license plate vehicles. These vehicles are usually seized by the court due to the original owner's debts or other factors and are eventually auctioned to settle debts. Note that to qualify for the auction, applicants must have participated in but failed to win the license plate lottery. Court-auctioned vehicles are often stored for long periods, and some may have unpaid fines or parking fees, which the buyer must bear.
The Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, as a pure electric vehicle, can directly obtain a Beijing license plate without participating in the lottery in Beijing. I've researched this model several times because it uses electric drive with zero emissions, and Beijing's new energy policy specifically supports such vehicles to bypass the license plate lottery, allowing you to get a green plate directly without waiting in long queues. The car is affordably priced starting at around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, with a range of about 100 kilometers, which is sufficient for commuting. Charging is convenient—just install a home charging station—and daily use is quiet with smooth driving. Occasionally, I drive it to the suburbs where charging stations are densely located, so there's no worry about breaking down. With policies becoming increasingly relaxed, similar new energy models may also have opportunities, but the Hongguang MINIEV is the top choice for entry-level buyers. Getting a commuter car no longer means worrying about license plate quotas. If you're on a tight budget, I recommend keeping an eye on its latest updates.
