On March 24, SGMW opened its Wuling Hongguang EREV variant for pre-sale, offering three trims in 5- and 7-seater layouts, priced from 68,800 – 73,800 yuan (9,500 – 10,200 USD). For reference, the EV variant offers a 300 km cruising range with a price range of 69,800 – 72,800 yuan (9,600 – 10,000 USD); while the gasoline-powered variant costs 46,500 – 60,900 yuan (6,400 – 8,400 USD).

The EREV’s appearance largely continues the design of the EV variant, except for the borderless front grille decorated with matrix elements. The charging port is located on the right front fender. Its lower drag coefficient of 0.32Cd is 15% lower than the gasoline-powered variant.

The body dimensions also remain unchanged, measuring 4515/1725/1790 mm with a 2850 mm wheelbase.

Active safety configurations such as anti-lock braking and electronic brake force distribution systems are present along with dual airbags for the driver and passenger. High-strength steel accounts for more than 56% of the vehicle body.

The entire series adopts rear-wheel drive, equipped with a 1.5L range extender that outputs a maximum power of 73 kW (98 hp) and a peak torque of 125 Nm, an electric motor that outputs 75 kW (101 hp) and 180 Nm, and matched with an 8.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack. The CLTC pure electric range is 50 km and the NEDC comprehensive range is 1,000 km. DC fast charging is also supported, which can replenish to 80% in 30 minutes.

Inside, the interior is minimal with a D-shaped steering wheel, an instrument panel, rectangular air-conditioning outlets, and rotary knobs on the center console for configuration controls. The top-end trim also comes with an 8-inch floating central control screen.

Both 2+3 5-seater and 2+2+3 7-seater layouts are offered. Specifically, the 5-seater is equipped with manually adjustable exterior mirrors, fabric seats, electric adjustable front windows, one USB port, and two speakers. The second and third rows can be folded down to create a larger storage space.
