Why is the Wuling Hongguang called the 'Divine Car'?

The reasons why the Wuling Hongguang is called the 'Divine Car' are: 1. Spacious interior and high practicality; 2. Excellent off-road capability and durability. Taking the new Wuling Hongguang as an example: 1. Dimensions: It belongs to the microvan category, with body dimensions of length 4390mm, width 1660mm, height 1750mm, a wheelbase of 2720mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a curb weight of 1185kg. 2. Powertrain: The new Wuling Hongguang features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a leaf spring rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 76PS, a maximum power of 56kW, and a maximum torque of 110Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Our construction site foremen love this car the most. It's run 150,000 kilometers in three years without any issues. The key is its incredible loading capacity! Last week, I helped someone move by removing the rear seats and fitting in a double-door refrigerator plus six large woven bags. It's also stable on mountain roads, with its rear-wheel drive providing excellent climbing power on Yunnan's winding mountain paths. Once, I hauled 2 tons of ceramic tiles from the building materials market, and the suspension didn't give out at all. Mechanics often say this car has a simple structure and a well-laid-out engine bay, making it easy to repair even at roadside stalls. The Wuling Hongguang is like a sturdy and reliable old ox, priced at just 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, truly a godsend for ordinary folks to earn a living and support their families.

I think the Wuling Hongguang achieved legendary status by pushing practicality to the extreme. Last time driving into the Sichuan-Tibet line, at 4,000 meters above sea level on mountain roads, the off-road vehicles in our convoy all suffered from altitude sickness, yet my old 1.5L Hongguang managed to gasp its way up. Transporting goods through muddy terrain on rainy days, its front-engine rear-wheel-drive layout made it less prone to slipping. The interior space can double as a mini cargo van, yet it's more comfortable for passengers than typical minivans. Even more astonishing is its performance in the used car market—after three years, it can still fetch 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, with depreciation lower than many sedans. This dual capability as both a workhorse and a family car is unmatched among domestic vehicles.

The Wuling Hongguang is known as the poverty alleviation vehicle in my hometown. Over twenty households in the village bought it for transportation, saving 40 yuan per trip by hauling corn from the fields to the county town. With a ground clearance of 185mm, it can easily navigate through muddy puddles. The old engine from Liuzhou Machinery Factory, though only 105 horsepower, features a cast iron cylinder block that's incredibly durable. The most extreme case I've seen was one vehicle carrying 37 crates of live chickens, with the dashboard showing a fuel consumption of 6.9L. The rear axle uses leaf springs that don't deform even under two tons of load. The key advantage is its low maintenance cost—replacing a fuse costs just three yuan.
