SAIC-GM-Wuling Rongguang V

I bought a used 2015 SAIC-GM-Wuling Rongguang V with 100,000 km because I love manual transmission. I modified its exterior, wheels, heated mirrors, interior, seats, and throttle (turbo), making this little 1.2L feel like a "wild bull". It was previously overloaded for cargo but remains very durable. Parts are affordable, especially genuine Liuzhou Wuling ones. I did the modifications myself over five months, saving labor costs. It drives comfortably with great handling and cost-effectiveness. Being a 7-seater, it now has a sporty MPV vibe. I like the Mercedes V260L too, but it lacks a manual transmission—manual is my情怀 (passion), what can I say!

For the SAIC-GM-Wuling Rongguang V, I'm satisfied with its space, which is large for its class, comparable to a large microvan, with a super flat floor for efficient and flexible loading. The 1.5L and 1.2L engines are mature, but the 1.2L lacks power, needing deep acceleration and high-rev shifting for better performance, possibly increasing fuel consumption. Handling is good due to front-engine rear-drive and a new chassis.缺点:生硬的减震影响乘坐舒适度;驾驶侧倾较大,底盘帖服不够,影响操控信心;动力较平淡,满载时影响信心;两座版中排座椅不能放倒拓展尾厢空间;较低配置型号的安全配置不足。

Wait, I need to translate the缺点 part into English and make it more concise. Let me try again.

No, I still haven't translated the缺点 into English. Let me do it properly.

The 1.5L and 1.2L engines are mature, but the 1.2L lacks power, needing deep acceleration and high-rev shifting, possibly increasing fuel consumption. Handling is good with front-engine rear-drive and a new chassis. Drawbacks: stiff suspension, significant body roll, poor chassis adherence, weak power when fully loaded, non-folding middle seats in two-seat version, and insufficient safety features in low trims.

I am satisfied with the SAIC-GM-Wuling Rongguang V. Its long body provides spacious interior with 7/8-seat layout, and the seats are easy to remove, suitable for both passengers and cargo. The interior is practical, with clear dashboard data and decent overall performance. The 1.5L engine delivers good power, stable for long-term use and low maintenance cost, not struggling when fully loaded. However, the noise insulation is just passable and the suspension comfort is average. The combined fuel consumption is around 8L.
