Wuling Hongguang Mini with 300 km range?
3 Answers
Hongguang MINI new car has a CLTC range of 300 km. Regarding range: The three models have a CLTC range of 300 km. Currently, the Hongguang MINIEV models on sale offer two range versions of 120km and 170km, with ternary lithium and lithium iron phosphate power battery options available. Range calculation formula: Range = remaining fuel ÷ fuel consumption. The displayed range is a reference data based on current driving conditions combined with the remaining fuel in the tank. It calculates how many more kilometers the remaining fuel can last based on the average fuel consumption required for the current driving speed and other conditions.
The official range of the Wuling Hongguang Mini is around 170 kilometers based on the NEDC test standard. In actual use, it may drop to 130-150 kilometers depending on your driving habits and environment. When driving in the city, I found that smooth acceleration and minimal use of air conditioning can get close to 150 kilometers. However, if driving on highways or using heating in winter, the range can drop to just over 100 kilometers. The 300-kilometer version is not very realistic, as this car is positioned as an urban commuter with a small battery capacity and low price, with its main advantage being affordability. If you want a longer range, you should consider spending more on a higher-end model or a plug-in hybrid. Paying attention to battery maintenance, such as avoiding long-term full charges, can slightly improve the actual range.
As an average car owner, I often drive the Wuling Hongguang Mini to work, with a round trip of 30 kilometers. The actual range usually falls short within 140 kilometers. A single charge lasts me a week, but it's not suitable for long-distance trips. The advertised 300-kilometer range is probably a misconception—don't be fooled. This car is lightweight and fuel-efficient, perfect for grocery runs and commuting. Using air conditioning in summer or driving at high speeds consumes more battery, so I need to plan charging stops carefully. In terms of cost, charging is cheap, around just over ten yuan a month. After getting used to compact cars, I find the 170-kilometer range quite reasonable—it's hassle-free and eco-friendly.
