GM Hong Guang MPV with bowtie spied after a long time
Earlier this year, this same test mule was spotted in Vadodra and Bangalore which revealed most of what is in store. The Hong Guang (let’s hope it’s not called that in India) MPV can seat 7-8 people in reasonable comfort (2nd and 3rd row have flat-folding seats).
Little known fact is that the ride and handling of this MPV was done by Lotus Engineering (by-word for handling). Under the hood, GM might plonk a 1.3L SMARTECH XSDE engine which debuted in the Chevrolet Beat (in a lower capacity).
Internationally, the Wuling Hong Guang offers a lot of electronic goodies such as:
- Anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution
- Dual-safety airbags
- A LED high-position stoplight
- Reverse parking sensor
- Central door children’s locks
- Anti-theft system along with the automatic car tracking function.
We will have to wait to find out what will trickle down in the India version.
