When you want to buy a scooter electric car with a budget of tens of thousands of dollars, I believe that many friends will first be associated with the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV. Yes, as the star model of Wuling at this stage, low prices have become their own killer skills, and in March, it became the top seller in the car market with monthly sales of nearly 42,000 vehicles. Today, in order to meet the needs of different consumers, the More Eye-catching Hongguang MINI EV GB has finally met with us.
The official guidance price remains between 5.58-6.98 million yuan, known as the Hongguang MINI EV upgrade version, how does it actually perform? Is it worth paying for? For these two questions, I will answer them for you today. In fact, from the overall shape point of view, not much change has been made, and the front face still continues the design style of the macaron version, which has a high degree of recognition. Of course, through the color matching, front bracketing and some details of the upgrade, this Macro MINI EV GB looks more personal.
My favorite place to talk about is the Hurricane Phantom theme with the optional Blade of Fire body, which is more like a powerful Black Samurai model than other colors, and the official magic red laser grille is embedded in it, combined with red front bracket decoration strips, which looks very intimidating. In addition, the addition of all-LED near and far headlights has further enhanced its competitiveness. The trunk designed on the roof and the rear trim panels that echo the front grille have made it earn enough to return to the market.
In terms of body size, compared to the Macron version, this Macro MINI EV GB is slightly improved. The length, width and height are 3061/1520/1665mm, and the wheelbase is 2010mm. Although this size will not bring too much substantial help to the interior riding space, according to personal experience, when we enter the back row, it will not be so awkward, and the petite female friend can get a relatively comfortable legroom when sitting in the back seat. And the rear seats can be reclined, and the trunk space is also performing well. I have to say that the 3-door four-seat layout of the Macro Light MINI EV GB, practicality did not disappoint us.
For the interior layout of the Hongguang MINI EV GB, it is estimated that everyone is very familiar with it, but as an upgraded version of the Hongguang MINI EV, there have been many improvements in the details. For example, the new style of door handle design and a more exquisite steering wheel can better attract the attention of young consumers. The most crucial point is that the use of red decoration to embellish, on the one hand to achieve and the appearance of the same, on the other hand to ensure the interior grade.
In terms of configuration, this Hongguang MINI EV GB is considered to have achieved the level of mainstream at the same level. The main driver's seat airbag, ABS anti-lock braking and braking force distribution to ensure basic safety are not absent from it, and the addition of rear parking radar, reversing image, uphill assist and full LCD dashboard is also more convenient for our daily use. Among them, the reversing image and the rear parking radar are still quite friendly for female friends and novice drivers.
The problem of mileage is generally the reason why many consumers give up the Hongguang MINI EV, but the Hongguang MINI EV GB has been greatly improved in this regard. In addition to the 200 km version, a 300 km version is also available, equipped with a 41 hp and 110 N·m electric motor, and a 26.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. When I wasn't doing a test drive, I didn't have much hope for the power of the Hongguang MINI EV GB, but I was impressed when it actually drove. Compared with the ordinary version of the previous test drive, this Hongguang MINI EV GB starts more rapidly, even if the speed exceeds 60km/h, there will be no feeling of fatigue.
Of course, to talk about the biggest highlight of the dynamic part of the Macro Mini EV GB, I think it is still flexible and easy to open. Admittedly, from the perspective of suspension type, it seems to have nothing to do with the handling and driving texture, but thanks to the small size, we can shuttle freely in urban sections, even if we park on the streets with more complex road conditions, we can give us full confidence.
Overall, the top price is nearly 70,000, which is indeed not cheap for a micro-electric vehicle, but the Hongguang MINI EV GB has a higher mileage and a highly free modification style, which I personally feel is its own plus. If you have the intention of buying a micro-electric vehicle in the near future, have certain requirements for mileage and pursue personality and texture, starting with Hongguang MINI EV GB will definitely not disappoint you.
