Wuling Hongguang Mini EV with three axes on anabolic steroids

Recently updated on February 23, 2022 at 12:14 am

Here comes a three-axle micro-pickup with electric drive from the Chinese manufacturer Wuling. Curtain up for Wuling Hongguang as Mini EV on anabolic steroids. You can still say that the Chinese copy Western cars on the assembly line and have no ideas of their own. The boys and girls from Wuling have now completely counteracted the cliché, because the Supermini Wuling Hongguang Mini EV is a lifestyle pickup, especially for the Chengdu Auto Show, which starts on July 24, 2020, despite the ongoing corona crisis rebuilt with three axes. The cute and at the same time absolutely cool vehicle looks as if someone had shrunk a Mercedes G 6 × 6. The length of the micro pickup should be just over three meters. After all, the basis, the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, is a small electric car with a length of just 2,92 meters. However, the brand, which belongs to the SAIC-GM network and would like to gain a foothold worldwide within the next five years, has put great effort into putting an absolutely unique show car on the three axles that is second to none.

6-axis 6 × XNUMX micro pickup

He stands there like a really big one, this little off-road climber from Wuling, which with its 12-inch !!! - studded tires, YES - there is such a thing, and its martial look, which is reminiscent of the big model from Stuttgart, completely thick pants. With its slot headlights and the additional position lights that suggest the great off-road mobility, as well as the wide flared wheel arches that house the 6 tiny tires, this mini pickup is an absolute exotic in the automotive industry. The automobile jack-of-all-trades offers space for 4 people, and even a tiny loading area, which doesn't really deserve the name. In addition, of course, the orange-colored paintwork immediately catches the eye, and the contrasting black accents, which (should) give the little Wuling a particularly sporty touch. Matt black exterior mirror caps and the roof rack, in our opinion, top the whole car off when it comes to curiosities. A small additional gag is also the charging connection, which is located behind the front brand emblem, which means that the vehicle can do without an annoying flap.

The interior corresponds exactly to the base.

The interior, on the other hand, is very sober and conventional, since this corresponds to the base, the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, almost 1 to 1. With its large driver information display and the rotary control, which is typical for electric cars, the interior looks very spartan, even if the car may offer more comfort than you can imagine with its small size. After all, here would be a counterpart of the Smart ForTwo that certainly does not necessarily radiate more luxury. Unless he comes straight from the halls of Brabus.

The electric drive is sufficient for a maximum of 100 km / h.

With its only 27 hp, the miniature monster truck can manage a maximum of 100 kilometers per hour, according to the factory, and the sprint from 0 to 60 km / h should take about 8 seconds, according to Wuling. It would be interesting to know whether the small part also has all-wheel drive, or whether only one of the three axles is driven. Unfortunately there is no information available yet. But we think we can see in the pictures that “both” rear axles are actually driven. And a differential also seems to be installed in the middle. In any case, it would be cool if the little truck could show what it can do in the field.

Who would buy something like that?

With this model, which is officially exhibited as a study at the Chengdu Motor Show, we would like to play mice to find out whether it actually has a chance of series production. It would be the ideal fun mobile for all ATV fans for whom their vehicle is not roadworthy enough. It's also always nice to see what ideas automobile manufacturers have to create new segments and concepts.
