Earlier this year, the Wulingzhiguang EV entered the market with two trims offering 201km of range, which, yet, left the buyers hesitate. SAIC-GM-Wuling quickly starts the revamp. On July 24, the Wulingzhiguang EV 305km Edition left the garage at RMB 57,800 (≈USD 8,000). Let’s see what’s new in this upgraded edition.

Key Technical Upgrades

The model replaces its predecessor’s 201km range with a 30.6kWh LFP battery from Sunwoda, achieving 305km CLTC-certified range—a 52% improvement.

Besides, the model made several safety enhancements, such as install LED headlights for a better nighttime visibility, equip with dual front airbags enhancing its passive safety protection abilities.

Thirdly, the cabin uses a 7-inch LCD instrument cluster display, showing a clearer real-time range, SOC, and speed data.

As an economy EV microvan, the Wulingzhiguang was mainly used for commercial duties, such as hauling cargos or ferrying passengers. The extended range relieves the buyers’ range anxiety, making daily urban use more untrained. While the curb weight was increased from 1,220kg to 1,350kg, enhancing the stability of the car when moving on uneven surfaces.
