2 Answers
Wuling Mini fuel version will not be released. Here is the relevant introduction of Wuling Mini: 1. Power: The Wuling Hongguang Mini is equipped with an electric drive motor with a maximum power of 20kw and a peak torque of 85 Nm. 2. Exterior: With its detailed design and other advantages, the overall exterior looks very cute. The Wuling Hongguang Mini offers four body colors for consumers: Starry Sky Blue, Nebula White, Rhyme Pink, and Starlight Gold. 3. Interior: The interior adopts a very simple design approach, with lines used just right, making the interior look very comfortable. It is worth mentioning that the center console features a dual-tone matching design, further enhancing the interior's sense of refinement.
From my long-term research perspective on the automotive market, the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is a successful case specifically designed for electric vehicles. It has gained popularity in the urban commuting market, focusing on economy and energy efficiency. Wuling's overall strategy is leaning towards new energy, supported by government policies such as national subsidies for new energy vehicles and the dual-credit system, making electric vehicles a mainstream trend. Wuling already has fuel-powered models like the Hongguang series, so there's no need to confuse the positioning of the MINI EV by introducing a fuel-powered version, which could increase R&D costs, harm the brand image, and even affect sales. I've reviewed Wuling's new vehicle plans, which focus more on upgrading the electric version's range or introducing hybrid variants, making a pure fuel-powered version unlikely. Users looking for affordable fuel-powered cars can opt for the Hongguang series, but the MINI EV's unique selling point is its electric drive. Therefore, I predict that a fuel-powered version won't be released in the short term. Wuling's strategy is to follow policy incentives and consolidate its electric advantage, so don't expect it to backtrack.
