If this price is placed on a new brand, I'm afraid most people will worry about the overall quality of the new car. After all, in an era when smartphones cost 1000 yuan, it's incredible to spend 30,000 yuan to buy the latest electric car.

However, it happened to Hong Guang of Wuling, which made people feel relieved. This brand, which has always been the champion of passenger car sales, has incomparable strength, experience and achievements in the low-end model market, and their products should be more reliable.

What's more, Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV also launched the slogan of "People's scooter". Based on the marketing theme of "What people need, Wuling will build", Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV's attention has been rising all the way.

So, Wuling Hong Guang MINI? Whether EV is reliable has become the most concerned issue for Zhijiajun when testing this new car.

Wuling Hong Guang MINI? The body dimensions of EV are 29 17mm, 1493mm, 162 1mm, and the wheelbase is 1940mm. Although petite, the cabin space is larger than expected. This is mainly because the electric vehicle does not have a huge engine, and the power battery is also arranged in the chassis position, which can maximize the use of the compartment space for passengers.

The space in the back seat is relatively small, and it is a bit cramped for two adults to sit in it, but Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV is positioned as a short-distance commuter, and the probability of being full of four people is not high, so it is impossible to run too far. Therefore, Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV has enough space to meet its usage scenarios.

Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV's cab is very front, and there is plenty of legroom for front passengers. The material of the center console is hard plastic, but the manufacturing process is exquisite enough, and the design tends to be younger, which will not bring people a cheap feeling.

More importantly, although the price is only about 30,000 yuan, there is no peculiar smell in the cockpit, which shows that Wuling Hong Guang is right about MINI? The manufacture of EV is fine enough.

In terms of power, Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV is equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motor with maximum power of 20kW and peak torque of 85Nm. This data may seem low, but it is enough for a petite person. At low and medium speeds, the experience of power performance is really not better than that of Zhijiajun's 1.5L self-priming engine POLO. Plus poverty.

What surprised Zhijiajun the most was the Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV's driving experience is also rigorous enough, and it will not feel loose because of the low price. The chassis has strong toughness and excellent overall feeling. Compared with Zhi Dou, Zotye E200 and other similar models that Zhijiajun has driven before, Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV's driving experience is the best, and it is obviously much better, which makes Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV seems to be a little worth it.

As for battery life, Wuling Hong Guang MINI? The storage capacity of middle and low EV models is 9.3kWh, the top EV models are 13.9kWh, and the comprehensive cruising range of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 120km and 170km, which are typical short-distance commuter electric vehicles.

Zhijiajun's top version of the test drive, 97% when he got the car. The instrument shows cruising range of 164km, and the total odometer data of the vehicle is 1567km. After two days' test drive, the instrument shows that the remaining power is 59% and the battery life is 94km. The vehicle odometer data is 1635km.

From the data of the remaining endurance, it is calculated that the mileage of two days is 70km, while the mileage difference on the total odometer is 68km, and the error between them is almost negligible. Visible Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV has reliable endurance, and daily driving is completely trustworthy.

Of course, such a good result is also related to the current season. It's autumn in Beijing, and the temperature is around 10-20℃, which is the most "comfortable" temperature for power batteries. You don't need to turn on the air conditioner when driving. If it is in midsummer or winter, its endurance will be affected to some extent.

But what about Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV's lithium battery has passed the IP68 dustproof and waterproof standard, and the low-temperature preheating function is said to make the battery life in winter unchanged. How its performance is, we have to wait until winter to do the test.

In terms of safety configuration, Wuling Hong Guang MINI? Electric cars have advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages are that ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD braking force distribution, tire pressure monitoring and reversing radar are standard in the whole system, and the cage body frame is designed with high safety, and the proportion of high-strength steel used in the whole body reaches more than 57%.

The disadvantage is that the whole system is not equipped with airbags and there is no rear collision beam. Does this mean Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV needs to be more cautious when driving and try to avoid collisions, especially high-speed collisions. As a short-distance commuter mini-electric vehicle, it is really not suitable for long-term driving under high-speed road conditions such as urban loops and closed highways. Shuttling through the streets is its main car scene.

Wuling Hong Guang MINI?
