It is difficult to distinguish the classification of middle rear drive-front drive-rear drive -MPV or minibus from the new annual inspection regulations. The "width-to-height ratio" of the body size is less than 0.9, and a van with a mid-engine is defined as a minibus. This kind of car does not belong to the annual inspection within six years, but was tested in 6/8/ 10; According to the regulations, it still needs to be tested according to the law of 2/4/6/7/8/9/ 10, so the car cost of this model will be slightly higher.
Van with front and rear drive is defined as MPV (Multipurpose Vehicle), and some light passengers who use front engine also meet this standard. The inspection period will be much looser. The reason for the classification is that vans are always used as trucks, but the manufacturing standard is still the lowest for carrying bus bodies. High frequency and heavy load will seriously affect the structural strength of vehicles. So how do you classify Wuling brand vans?
Van camp 1: Wuling Light belongs to "Minivan". Theoretically, a mini-car is a car with the engine displacement of 1.0L, but intuitively, the newly equipped engine is a naturally aspirated model of 1.2L-LSI, so this car should belong to a mini-van, which is just a habitual name or micro-surface.
Its body size is 3797 *15/kloc-0 *1820, and its wheelbase is 2500mm, which is really very compact. Therefore, the passenger version provides a maximum of seven seats and the freight version provides two seats. The practicality of this car is not bad, and the price is relatively low. After the guide price of 34.8-36.6 thousand yuan is actually lowered by about 5k, the comprehensive quality of micro-surface is acceptable.
The allocation level of Wuling Light is also reasonable. For example, the seven-seat version provides a child seat interface, which is not even available on Wuling Hong Guang. Other configurations have also reached the standard of 30,000 micro-surfaces, such as the use of mechanical buttons and steel wheels, and there is no cold air conditioning in the whole system.
Choosing this van does not require too much driving experience, and the standard is only to be able to drive away; However, it is recommended to install a cold air conditioner after landing, because the central engine is arranged under the front seat and will generate very high heat energy when running. It's a crime for a van like Xia Tiankai without air conditioning.
2. wuling glory is a compact van. Because its body size provides two standard choices, the new standard in 2020 is as follows.
Short-axis version 4135 *1625 *1870, and long-axis version 4490 *1615 *1900 with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. So which one is more cost effective? The answer is obviously the light of Wuling, because the guiding price of glory has reached 408-53800 yuan. Even after the discount, you can choose the front and rear drive MPVs of competing brands. For example, Kaicheng UNO S. The overall quality of this car, including the quality (comparison of the number of faults), is higher than that of Wuling Hong Guang. Wuling's brand premium is very high, and this semi-American joint venture brand is quite pitted.
The motivation level of Wuling glory also has great shortcomings. For example, the new low-profile version uses the same 1.2L engine in Guang Zhi, and the power will definitely be weaker after the body is enlarged; The high-end version is L3C- 1.5L Hong Guang engine, and 73kw/135n m is basically the weakest standard of the same displacement. This middle-mounted rear-drive truck is not worth the price.
The configuration is also very embarrassing. For example, the seat belt is not reminded and there is no child seat interface. The high-end version only has a remote control key, and there is still no air conditioning. There is no doubt that the configuration level is not as good as it, and there are basically no vans with worse configuration in the same price range.
MPV camp 1: The "Wuling Glory V" with a guide price of 448-49800 yuan belongs to MPV because it adopts the front and rear drive system. The body size of this car has reached the standard of 4415 *1665 *1850, and the wheelbase is 2720 mm, which is only the standard of small cars in MPV models, because the size of this model is generally large.
As for the driving experience, it is naturally better than the mid-mounted rear-drive van, because the engine compartment with independent layout has good sound insulation, noise reduction and cooling functions, even if there is no air conditioning system, it will be better-the 49,800 version has air conditioning, and other versions are still not equipped, but only the competing version of the same level is not equipped. Other configuration levels are also poor. For example, only the high-end version of Glory V has the steering wheel assist function, and other versions need a hard steering wheel like vans.
In terms of power, the engine is LAR- 1.5L, and the power level is also quite regrettable. Although the maximum torque is140 N m, the maximum power is still as low as 73kw(99 HP), which is more than ten horsepower lower than that of competing engines. However, the gearbox does use 6-speed manual, but under the premise of low power reserve, even if there are 6 forward gears, it is meaningless.
This is the true level of Wuling brand entry-level MPV, and the price/performance ratio is really poor; However, SAIC, GM and Wuling are indeed "experts" in marketing. This kind of car can go to the famous autumn mountain in Maoshan. Although the power of Japanese cars is poor enough, it is not the level of vans.
2. Wuling Hong Guang is the glory V of "Exquisite Painting Edition". The body sizes of the two cars are similar, and there is no difference in body materials and interior configuration level. The main difference is that the 2020 Hong Guang is equipped with a 1.2L engine, which is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission. The guide price of 458-46650 yuan is really funny.
The remaining version of 1.5L is LAR engine, and the price is 52,800-58,800. Only versions above 55800 have air conditioning systems. It can be seen that this semi-American independent joint venture brand is even more ruthless than Laomei. You should know that the minimum starting price of Chevrolet and Buick's 6AT automatic sedan is as low as 60,000, and the bare car price of 6AT Buick equipped with light mixing system is only about 80,000. This is Wuling's brand premium ability-comparable to SAIC Volkswagen.
With "glory v &；; Hong Guang's budget, it is suggested to upgrade to ≤ 60,000, and directly choose the real MPV-Dongfeng Lingzhi M5L. The length of the long-axis version of this car is more than 5. 1 m. The tall body has more driving and loading space, and the driving experience cannot be compared with Hong Guang or Xiao Ye S.
The engine is equipped with 1.6L naturally aspirated and matched with a 5-speed manual transmission. The power performance is quite satisfactory, but the fuel consumption performance is good and the quality is stable enough. Therefore, the range of 5/6/70,000 is already the main battlefield for MPVs such as M5L, and the quasi-MPV models such as Hong Guang Ono are only suitable for competition in the range of 40,000-50,000, and the price of the mid-rear-drive van should not exceed 40,000-therefore, this slim and light model is still worth choosing.
