- You've probably never heard of the Wuling Hongguang Plus, but that hasn't kept it from being the best selling car model in China, the world's largest automotive market. Hopefully, by the end of this video you'll understand why this simple box on wheels outsells competitors from huge multi-national corporations, and you might even learn how to pronounce "Hongguang"!

No airbags, no electronic stability control, no soundproofing, hard plastics, manual gears, rear wheel drive... Damn! That's a sports car in the purest form!
😂😂
It's like a giant Lotus, isn't it?
It's cheap, what do you expect... Of you want a good chinese car then get an MG
or as boomers says in the 70s: if we die, we die like men
But it does have leather seats, Touch screen, Cooled steer,
For $10k, who can ask anything more? My roof top tent setup costs $5k here in the US. You buy this thing, you can sleep inside. And it has rear wheel drive!
reasonable
and manual and middle put engine.
infact in China here now, some guy somehow plug a v8 5.0L engine into it and it bring his owner a goldenprize for his owner
I bought a Wuling van for my brewpub and to deliver kegs. It was great, did what it was supposed to do, and had great resale value.
Never see you drive one. Maybe I don't watch enough videos from your Channel?
Wow, didn't expect to see Daniel commenting on a radom car review video :)
@Jerry Houston I've seen these messages like 50 times. Why would you want to hack there account
Hi Daniel! I thought I must be the only foreigner in China to drive a Wuling bread van! One day I was driving some Chinese colleagues around, and got a great laugh from a toll booth attendant, who said she had never seen a white guy drive a mianbao che, let alone carrying Chinese passengers!
I bought the Wuling van for my brewpub (FUBAR), and even though the pub is closed, I have kept the van. At times I am tempted to "upgrade" to a nicer vehicle, but this is just so practical for carrying my dog and crap around. Funny thing is, the Shenzhen license plate is worth more than the car!
Now that I"m moving back to Huizhou full time, and rarely need go to Shenzhen, I may finally be motivated to trade for a more refined car.... but it couldn't possibly have more character.
I am Chinese,My dad has one for almost 6 years ,he's living in the countryside in China ,last year i wanna buy him a new 25000 usd car ,he didn't wanna it ,because it is a 7 seat car and can carry a lot of stuff and you don't have to take care too much for this car, in the last 6 years ,it got no problems at all ,no need to fix it,good for the countryside .
@Ben Louis actually a lot of people live in the city buy this car too，small business ,Wuling sold around 5 millions of this car until 2020
How does it drive uphill? Say 25 degrees inclined road with blind curves? Mountainous areas usually have very steep roads
@@NACAFarm My father live in a mountain village，it used to have a 5km mud road with a lot of large degrees uphills and blind curves
@@huarongliu8938 does he deliver tofu
@@hankhuang1230 LOL 哥们这个梗深了。。。。Turbo Charged, RWD, 6 speed.........
These looks into the Chinese domestic market are so interesting.
lots of options in China
This’s the legend of Chinese car, rumour has it when it’s drifting in the mountains, even a lambo couldn't catch up. It’s like Volkswagen beetle to the Germans
lol. ikr, there are so many MEMEs about it in China
I learn sth new today.
Lambos are terrible to drift in mountains
Hahahana is a joke, because there are many small shops in China that use this car to transport goods. They can use this car to fill people or goods and drive at incredible speeds.
Well lambos dont live in that habitat.
honestly a solid car for 10k, if they added esp and some safety features and sold that in the US for 13-14k I'd buy one
13-14k is a nice bargain. cars like this often starts at 24k in the U.S. market.
After Diaper Trumpet's 🎺 mustarded tariff ?
You can kiss his leaky faucet.
With no airbag and no ESP? Are You high? You can buy a base corolla in Canada and states for 16k with 8 airbags and ESP and backup camera.
hmm, nice for the price... but would like to see results made by IIHS/ EuroNCAP. Such masterpieces usually fail... Anyway, thanks for this interesting video
@@livefreeordiehard8898 but you cant stufing stuff on your corolla rite ?
This is basically chinese version of nissan NV200 lol
Also asian love families gathering.. sooo.. yeah a 3 seater SUV/MPV always wins over a sedan in most asia country lol
Our range rover was crawling on the icy zig-zag mudroad of snowy mountain. And this Wuling just scurried by us at 40mph like crazy. Later we found out there were 5 adults in the car, with all their nomad furnitures and 4 sheeps! This happened 3 years ago in Tibet.
hah almost same thing happened to me , r you chinese ?
@@茶狐看世界 yup
that's because of the drivers skill. there is no way something like this can come anywhere near a Range Rover
@@ahsanhaider6549 If you're suggesting more skill, less audacity. Then you're rights.
Was Bunta Fujiwara the driver by any chance 🤣 ?
Damn I can buy 5 of that Gwang gwang If I sell my Bimmer X1 and start my own plumbing business.
True!
X1 is not a beamer it's a shame that's what that is Even BMW says so! 😁😁
Good idea, look into that.
Wuling is half owned by GM. It is known for affordability and acceptable reliability. It makes mostly small trucks and "bread cars" for small businessmen and construction contracter. There are also a lot of professional drivers driving Wulings for the truck version of Uber (货拉拉) to help peopel to move stuff to make a living.
more like Uhaul
An open mind see it as a well price car for a specific purpose.
Great job China.
You' re building cars whom your people needs.
Nice unbiased review of a practical people mover, and workhorse. GM spotted these serious down-country car builders, Wuling, some 18 years ago. Its decision to establish a tie-up has proven more than successful.
For $10k I can easily overlook what it's missing. Because of that it will be easy to own and maintain .
Son, before you were born, in the land of car world, U.S, millions of people die from cars that have no airbags and most trims were made out of metals and some even have pointy trims aiming right at your heart.
Sad to say that Brazil needs cars like this. Affordable price, plenty of room, even in a low trim of equipment and plusses, stuff like that. Brazilian cars doesn't even exist 😔
Wuling is partially owned by GM though.
lol. NO.
More than 50% of shares are owned by a Chinese company
steven xue u say no like he’s wrong, he said partially owned, just because they own more than 50% doesn’t mean gm doesn’t own a part of it
BMW Royal huh. I thought he wrote “Wuling is practically owned by GM though” last time, I guess I can’t read
Just a small portion. People in China can't afford to let Chinese legend is owned solely by GM hillbilly
True😂
Most importantly, this car is stunningly reliable and requires only minimum maintenance, it was designed to be quizzed off every cent of your investment.
It's using Chevrolet engine.
Wuling sells quite OK in Indonesia, unlike other models that fail. One of the wuling models here is Confero, same as older Honggguang, and people are usually reluctant to buy because of the weird design. This hongguang s model may sell better if sold in Indonesia, although the boxy and stiff model may still become concern for many. At least, this model is better than the older model.
The price is simply too attractive. Basic, but practical for daily transportation, not for luxury and comfort.
I need to buy a new car like that!
will Wheelboy ever be able to get his hands on a Hongqi
I stopped by a Hongqi dealership the other day and I was actually really impressed with what I saw. We will have a review of the new H9 sedan soon!
@@Wheelsboy see if you can review the Hongqi L5 or L4.
maybe stand on a L5 and speak through microphones on roof of the car is better
When this model of Hong Guang 2 will be sold in Indonesia. I like this Model. We now just have the first model of it. Wuling has now its third year selling car here, amazingly wuling has defeated nissan
I hope u can review wuling victory (hongguang's brother ) in the near future.
We need more utility vehicles like this (and the Jimny), they are no bullshit vehicles
The Jimny is my dream car.
When you said it "outsold the GM", I do wanna point out that the full name of Wuling is SAIC GM Wuling. If I'm not mistaken, GM holds bigger share in the joint venture than Wuling, which means GM takes more profit than Wuling for every single Hongguang they sold. And Wuling's whole 1.5 engine line up were derived from GM L2B series.
In my country it is sold as Chevrolet N400.
@@VictorNoelCoryPaz Cheers mate, you've seen through the trick GM pulled. When you take these rebadged Wulings into consideration, you'll easily find that they ain't no new things for people around the globe - only in rich countries they're new.
@@binong7366 Cheers to you too m8! GM also sells a couple of Korean and Brazilian made cars here in my country. The only real American GM car for sale here is the Suburban.
SAIC Motor (50.1%)
General Motors (44%)
Wuling Motors a tiny bit
In addition, don't annoy the driver of Wuling Hongguang on the road. You never know how many people will come down after you force it to stop, maybe 10 ,maybe 50
it's like a Toyota Innova for Indonesians, perfect for an all-rounder and everybody got one in their garages.
Im from indonesia
I was thinking the same, it's basically Chinese attempt at making the Kijang lol, but Kijang have better ride (even the Kijang Kapsul)
Is it more comparable with Avanza?
@@ekoiswinarso it's about the same size as the kijang/innova so it's more comparable to that.
Avanza is a lot smaller
It has size of innova but price of avanza... I think wuling ID will use this to replace Confero.
The suspension is unsettled because it has no load in the back. The suspension is tuned so that it can handle heavy loads.
And these work vans can sell well everywhere. Cheap basic vehicles are very compelling for companies who want the best bang for buck.
Think about the Chery 3 and Great Wall ute when they entered Australia. The ute sold better than the sedan because businesses were keen to save money. No one wants to pay extra for extra features when it's going to get dirty and only last 2 or 3 years before they repeat.
I live info Indonesia, Wuling is getting more popular for the last few years . I my self bought Wuling Confero which has more features than other competitor cars with the same price range.
I also bought Wuling Almaz RS Pro
when you look inside you see...... nope. cant see. Only blackness. redo video with the boot space visible. But it looks like its got a lot- i guess.
I Like It From Indonesia
Well culturally it’s more like a meme
Wuling Hongguang is legendary mainly because it hit every brand of car you could see on the road, and it won
Sitting here watching youtube in a 60's era Chrysler listening to people complaining about not having airbags and esp. Lol, I don't even have seatbelts.
Good price point for a work vehicle.
I hope Wuling Will sell it in Indonesia
its cheap，but it can do everything you need
except keeping you safe
Practical design but what's most liked, This design is the best for me. Hope to be available in the Philippines at chinese price.
My father got 1 of this
The commercial says, "You have from between 5 and 20 pounds of poop stuck in your gut". Actually, I think I have 35 pounds...
Now imagine when they electrify it and give it 300 miles of range.
It's a toolbox and a working horse, tough guys with hair on their balls don't need an ESP😉😁
To be serious it's better to compare it to the legendary Toyota pickups that serve in all countries and warzones and are used and abused everywhere.
Hard workers very rarely look pretty.
Why complain when it's only $10k? You can't get anything decent here in the US for that money, let alone a minivan.
It looks like if someone asked you to draw a Honda Pilot from memory.
Exterior from a Honda Stepwgn, a dashboard from any Land Rover product and steering wheel from a Tesla. Not bad for 10,000 RMB.
10000 usd
Young man, don't be a snowflake. Even ABS was not universal 20 years ago, there is no way the engine is "deafening".
Remember yall made fun of daewoo or hyundai look at hyundai now
If Breaking Bad was shot in China, Walt and Jesse would have cooked in this van
a good basic hauler.. it will eventually get better safer and pricier.
hello from ur bilibili follower
In China it's totally a work-car. It likes pick-up in American.
Ethan?
I thought you were grown up Adam Goldberg
I have no idea which Chinese market cars I'd like to learn about, because I have no idea what Chinese market cars are available.
Maybe their most brutal off road capable machines.
I love hot convertible micro supercars.
And what are they doing in the 3 wheeled form-factor?
Great vid, you lucked out on with the bump on the Baaaack! Perfect timing.👏
Gabriel Wynkoop China road condition is not bad so the off road ability is not that important. This car has a lot of potentials for business use and cheap enough which made it so popular. By the way pickups are only allowed drive in the rural areas in China.
Chinese friendly young Donald Trump..
Could u please. Please launch in India (Hyderabad) also we have Merc, audiq8 u might think this..
what
also be interested in Wuling Hongguang Mini EV and how to import
pack in a suit case.
No driving aids or airbags, then it will be fine for a US taxi drivers as they assure me that they are a better driver than the car and these driving aids make the taxi more dangerous.
You say compact foot print but you're looking atbshort wheelbase transit van that huge for EU drivers
This car is good to work with! The cost is great, why to buy a 30k€ car for work If you have this? If you remove back sits have a lot of space! I think whis can be popular worldwide! Is a practic car, is a huge win agains another cars at that price! 👍👍👍
I like the practicality.
I drive a Foton chinese pickup truck
it's a chinese clone of an Isuzu
it drives exactly like a 90s Isuzu pickup, but has features of newer models
Fuel Economy, mehhh. it has a 2.8 turbo diesel so 10-15km / liter is what it usually consumes that's with an A/C on.
Power? it's a 2.8 turbo diesel probably around 100hp?
it's just adequate to cruise you around 100-120kph all day. if you go faster than that the engine is absolutely screaming.
Reliability, yes! based on my experience on it, I never had catastrophic engine failures at all on my 10 years of ownership
just the A/C compressor going bad, and some wheel bearings that I replaced a year ago
Tip: Regularly Check everything on the powerplant side of things, any leaks,rectify as soon as possible. cracked or aged hoses replace then as soon as possible
same with rubber boots and bushings, taking care of those would save you from expensive repairs which chinese cars are known for.
if you would replace them though, it's better to replace them with Original Isuzu parts, which would further improve reliability and longevity
I'd buy this as is for the European market. Basic transportation is underrated when it comes really cheap.
these are not for basic transportation. they make cars fully prepared that you are goona drive that car with several goats in it.
this is for small business owners one car fits all kinda need.
@@zhangdayu2206 That is exactly what is needed for the rest of the world as well. My current car is a Citroën Nemo small van, it's the most practical car I've ever had. I reckon at least four goats could fit.
Cool, finally someone review Chinese vehicles with english language. Love it. ❤
don't be fooled, this is a hardcore race car
你油管播放量好低啊
It’s a practical mini van or a cargo van (with back seats removed) for delivery in cities or contractors where you need lots of space but not a lot of speed with good mpg.
I like Vans because they can do everything but now i understand why they didn't sell in Europe the lack of safety features, the cost is really amazing 10k yeah fantastic
It's a very honest design. It's not trying to be something that it isn't.
4:00 No ESP. That makes me uncomfortable.
Its everything you need and nothing you don't for $10K its a steal even if it came to the US at $15K with a bit improved model would totally buy it! perfect practical transport and still looks modern the seats look good he totally is trying not to like it..
ive no idea how you people guess and wonder such a low budget electric vehicle price was one of the world cheaper one than you are expecting lamborghini or BMW quality your mindset has pretty seriously problem
So how much is the license plate for this car? I'm told the plate can cost almost as much as this car costs, so it's an important question.
Depends where you want to drive. If you want access to the Shanghai city center and to drive on the elevated roads at all times of the day, then you’re going to spend well over 100,000 RMB for the privilege.
Only 4-6 super big cities(over 15million people) have such limit,you need to pay 3000usd to 12000 usd to get the local license plate,in other city it is free.If you dont have local license plate,you cant drive it in center city when rush hour
I own one. I often carry goods and deliver things. This car has never let me down. It can fit a double-door refrigerator. It has been driven 150,000 kilometers in 4 years. It has hit a tree in the snow. After repairing it, it is still running like crazy.😃
I miss the fannypack.
This car is actually in the Chinese market, it is a very cheap and multi-use and tool car.
than as a personal daily car, their personal car market SUV is the best seller, sedan follows.
Yes, this kind of car is their VAN or PICKUP, tool car.
So you may ask, why not buy a pickup truck. This is caused by the evil CCP rules. CCP distinguishes between personal vehicles and commercial vehicles. PICKUP or VAN belong to commercial vehicles. If you want to use commercial vehicles, you must follow the commercial rules. The rules of the car use the car, so there will be a lot of problems. Simply put, it is very limited in the personal use scene. Many people need a combination of both rather than a single system. So this kind of personal use A product that uses a vehicle identity but has commercial vehicle functions.
So is there no pickup truck in China? No, they do, and they are very popular, but those rules persecute it and limit his sales. Otherwise, I think the sales of pickup trucks will be the best-selling products in the Chinese market like this small VAN.
Test the 1.2 NA engine version.
10,000 USD excellent!
It looks like a Range Rover Discovery with a shorter nose, lowered with smaller rims.
4:25 - leather is not particularly genuine. ... Ok tell me then pompous westerner ass, which 20,000 $ car in the US has genuine leather or some leather at least. Im driving 2019 hybrid coupe and even this one HAS NOT even one inch of leather on the seats .... it's all fabric !!!!!!
Wuling Indonesia should sold this here and it should be selling like candy... Definitely basic but practical.
@ 8:43, Nonsense! That SUV WILL sell in European & North American markets! First off, there is a high Chinese diaspora in both Europe & North America. Then there is the large group of people that will buy based on curiosity and styling.
So it work exactly like a small van but better overall, cool.
Can you test the SAIC Maxus Euniq EV ( G50 Model) ?
Sweet looking car👍
Corona from China! now cars from China! has the world gone mad?
Coz Wuling is an extremely reliable car. It is just like AK-47 in the world of guns. You can put as many people as you want inside this car but this car will never get any big problem.
The price is reasonable and the quality is guaranteed. It is the first choice of the new generation in pursuit of environmental protection.
I want buy .I like that from ethiopia
Go to hello taxi and own it.
Looks like the Fighting uses the front section of this van.
Dude you're worried about driving a vehicle without ABS or stabilty control, time to go to a performance driving school.
the spoiler is for keeping the rear window clean ! There is no leather .........it's plastic , I like the car because it's a instrument not a toy for never-grown-up-boys
can you make more videos about wuling and Baojun?
Good to see real informative videos like this, instead of the usual exaggerated politics bullshit from the laolosers. You've just earn a sub. How did you borrow all these cars 😁

You are spoiled - I drove a Karry for 10 years - no safety features or computerized systems - it was reliable and took me all over China. It was also a 1.2 liter - more than fast enough.
Many people in China earn their first bucket of gold by relying on this car or this type of car. For example, construction contractors, plumbers, electricians, this car has a large space, and any tools and materials can still be in the car. They can also sleep in the car at noon.
I generally think of Asians driving tiny micro-cars. But it turns out the best selling Chinese car is a minivan. Another stereotype refuted.

How much like a Discovery Sport does the dash look like?
So this is the legendary wulin hongkuang! I heard so much about it but this is the first time I see it.
Not bad, not bad at all.
