Will the Wuling Hongguang Mini drift on the highway?

Wuling Hongguang Mini will drift on the highway. Its maximum curb weight of 705kg will affect its performance on the highway. Here is some extended information: 1. Wuling Hongguang Mini: The Wuling Hongguang Mini is a micro electric vehicle under the Wuling brand. The car has a wheelbase of 1940mm, with length, width, and height dimensions of 2917mm, 1493mm, and 1621mm respectively. It is a three-door, four-seater electric vehicle. 2. Motor: The Wuling Hongguang Mini is a single-motor model, with a maximum motor power of 20kw and a maximum torque of 85 Nm. This car uses lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly used in most pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries have a lighter weight and higher energy density.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang Mini for almost a year now. On the highway, it tends to feel a bit floaty, especially when the speed exceeds 100 km/h or on windy days—the body seems to sway. Keeping it between 80-90 km/h is the most comfortable, with much less floating sensation. The car is light, so it feels unstable in high wind resistance areas. After upgrading the tires, stability improved, but the original tires have weaker grip. Extra caution is needed on rainy days to avoid sharp turns. Overall, it's agile and economical in the city, fine for short highway trips, but for long distances, I'd recommend a heavier car for peace of mind. My friend has had similar experiences, and we often say controlling speed is key.
