Next-Gen Wuling Hongguang MINIEV Revealed: Fresh Look, Two Body Styles, and a 30-kW Electric Motor

Fresh images of the upcoming 2026 Wuling Hongguang MINIEV have appeared online after the model showed up in China’s Ministry of Industry filings. Judging by the leaked materials, the automaker has opted for a full redesign.

The new version will be offered in both two-door and four-door layouts, and its styling has taken on a friendlier, more playful tone: rounded bodywork, bold circular headlights pushed out to the edges, and a sleek LED strip connecting them.

Buyers will also be able to pick contrasting roof and body colors, giving the tiny EV a bit more personality. The car rides on 13-inch wheels, and the rear design echoes the front with matching round taillamps and a chrome accent bar.

Despite the makeover, the car remains ultra-compact. Depending on the variant, overall length comes in at either 3,268 mm or 3,043 mm. Width is 1,520 mm, height is 1,575 or 1,590 mm, and the wheelbase measures 2,190 or 1,965 mm.

The exterior can be customized with branded badges, decorative window trims, wheel accents, and twin roof spoilers that can be painted either body-color or white.

Under the skin, the MINIEV stays true to its mission as a simple all-electric runabout. It’s powered by a 30-kW motor paired with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack. The 2025 model will arrive in four trim levels, with pricing starting at about $6,270 (44,800 yuan).
