Why Was the Wuling Rongguang New Truck Discontinued?
2 Answers
Wuling Rongguang New Truck has not been discontinued; this is a rumor. Taking advantage of this, Wuling also launched the Wuling Rongguang Mini Truck Wing. Below is some information about the Wuling Rongguang New Truck: 1. Configuration: It offers two engine options, 1.2L and 1.5L. The 1.2L engine delivers 56kW and 112N·m of torque, while the 1.5L engine provides 73kW and 135N·m of torque, both paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. 2. Usage: It is particularly suitable for light and bulky cargo transportation industries, such as glass and appliance transport. In the current booming street vendor economy, the Wuling Rongguang Mini Truck can also be used for selling fruits.
I've driven the Wuling Rongguang New Truck quite a few times before, and it's a pity that it's been discontinued now. I guess the main reason is that the market has changed. Nowadays, people prefer electric or more intelligent models, and the old design of the New Truck might not be as popular anymore. Additionally, cost is also an issue. With the rising prices of materials, higher production costs make it less profitable for the company to continue promoting this vehicle. I've heard many owners feedback that the fuel consumption is relatively high, coupled with increasingly stringent emission standards, Wuling had to upgrade. After its discontinuation, models like the Rongguang V are available as alternatives, offering significant improvements in performance and technological features, so I'd recommend considering the newer models. However, the old truck was sturdy and durable, suitable for some basic tasks. Its discontinuation reminds us to keep up with the changes in the automotive market to avoid buying outdated models.
