Tires on Wuling Rongguang Extended (Вулинг)

The commercial van debuted in the Chinese brand's production lineup in 2018, becoming a logical continuation of the popular line of compact commercial vehicles. It differs from other representatives of the lineup with its increased length, occupying a niche at the junction of two segments — compact minivans and larger commercial equipment, while maintaining a focus on "last mile" transportation. The model demonstrates other strong qualities of this lineup — reliability, low operating costs.

Universality due to body lengthening

The use of a frame platform throughout the lineup made it possible to increase the distance between the axles. This is what distinguishes this van, which has a wheelbase of 3050 mm and an overall length of 4490 mm. As a result, it offers a more spacious cabin with increased distance between the seats and a larger trunk volume. The lineup includes a version with a spacious cargo area behind the first row, but with the possibility of installing folding seats. It's worth noting the feature of the body layout, such as the wheels being located near the corners, which significantly increases the useful volume of the cabin. The high roof and increased door openings make it easier to use the vehicle as a commercial transport.
The van was initially created as a utilitarian vehicle, maximally practical not only in use but also in repair. The body practically does not contain decorative elements, and its panels are made flat, which significantly reduces the risk of damage and makes it easier to restore them to their original state.

Proven technical solutions

In its design, the model has many similarities with trucks — a frame, longitudinal engine layout, rear suspension with leaf springs and a non-split axle. All these solutions are due to the desire to provide maximum reliability during operation with high loads and low maintenance costs.
The engine range was also selected in a similar way — "atmospheric" gasoline engines. The base versions are equipped with a 1.2-liter engine with a power of 82 horsepower. An alternative to it is a 1.5-liter "four" with a power of up to 107 horsepower and a torque of 145 Nm. In both cases, a 5-speed "mechanics" is used with gear ratios that provide maximum efficiency at "urban" speeds. Especially in this regard, the first two gears stand out, which are made very "short", due to which even with a full load, this van demonstrates decent acceleration for such a vehicle.

Practicality of the cabin and equipment features

The interior is made with a pronounced emphasis on functionality and practicality in everyday use. The front console stands out for its simplicity with massive buttons and virtually no decor, made of durable and resistant to mechanical damage plastic.

In the base versions, analog instruments and a compact monochrome display are used, which displays only basic information. In the top-end configuration, a multimedia system with a 7-inch touch screen, Bluetooth, and a rear-view camera is added. Air conditioning, power windows, and central locking are also not available in all versions, which is typical for Chinese commercial models of this class. An important feature is the almost vertical seating of passengers. This provides a good view from the inside, additionally improved due to the small thickness of the front posts.

Road behavior and operational specifics

The presence of a frame platform and springs in the suspension determines sufficiently specific handling characteristics. On the move, an empty van is perceived as a fairly rigid vehicle, requiring increased attention when driving at high speeds. These drawbacks completely disappear as the cabin is loaded. In comparison with the standard version, it demonstrates much better directional stability, despite the steering, which shows a noticeable delay in response to the driver's actions.

The repairability deserves special attention. The design lacks complex electronics, turbocharging, and expensive driver assistance systems. This is especially important for operation in regions with limited access to specialized services. Many maintenance operations can be performed without complex equipment, and parts are unified with other SAIC-GM-Wuling models.

In the Chinese car market, the vehicle competes with the Changan Star, DFSK C-Series, but differs in a more balanced combination of cargo capabilities, compact dimensions, and maintenance costs. Therefore, the model is often used as a universal platform — from family transport to mobile trading points and service workshops. This is largely due to the use of 14-inch wheels with 175/70 tires in the standard configuration. Such products stand out for their optimal balance between strength, fuel efficiency, and grip. Thanks to the wide range of suitable wheels and tires for this van in the "Mosavtoshina" online store, there is an opportunity to change the operational properties, adapting it to specific usage conditions.
