SAIC-GM-Wuling (hereinafter referred to as SGMW) has officially launched its fifth-generation model of China's best-selling microelectric vehicle, Wuling Hongguang Mini EV (Wuling Hongguang MINIEV). The model has sold 1.85 million cumulative sales since its launch in July 2020, winning the title of China's most sold electric vehicle. Compared to the previous fourth generation, this new model maintained price competitiveness while strengthening mileage, safety specifications, and digital convenience.
The point to note is the price. The official sale price of the 5th generation model starts at least 32,800 yuan (about 6.1 million won) depending on the trim, and for the top model, the Macaron edition, it is set at about 45,800 yuan (about 8.5 million won).
The body size is 3,064mm full length, 1,493mm full width, 1,614mm full height, and the wheel base is 2,010mm, maintaining a micro-standard optimized for urban driving and parking convenience. The 5th generation model has refined its exterior by applying a new "Energy Cube" design language and is equipped with an 8-inch floating screen and a 7-inch LCD instrument panel to enhance the digital competitiveness of the interior. In terms of performance, it has improved city driving performance by installing a high-efficiency electric motor with a maximum output of 30 kW and a maximum torque of 92 Nm, and the time to reach 50 km/h from a standstill is about 5 seconds.
The battery system is available in two specifications depending on capacity, and the driving distance achieved a basic 170km and a top model 215km per charge based on China's CLTC. In particular, the new model has increased its size with 15-inch wheels to increase driving stability and is equipped with a water-cooled battery temperature control system to minimize efficiency degradation caused by temperature changes. The convenience of charging is also strengthened, so it can be charged in about 35 minutes from 20% to 80% when charging quickly, and it also supports slow charging using 220V outlets for general households. Safety specifications include basic driver airbags, increased body strength steel ratio to 60%, and ABS and EBD braking assistance systems are installed in all trims.
Since its launch in 2020, the Ulling Hongkwang Mini EV has surpassed 1.8 million cumulative sales, and is considered a key model that led to the popularization of electric vehicles in China. With the launch of the 5th generation model, SGMW plans to strengthen its AS support system using more than 2,800 service networks in China. SGMW has expanded its smart factory line at the Riuseru base to increase the production efficiency of the new model, which has secured monthly production capacity of up to 50,000 units. In the future, exports to global markets such as Southeast Asia and Latin America will also be sequentially converted to 5th generation models.
