The official interior photos of SAIC-GM-Wuling's (SGMW) third-generation Hongguang MINI EV Macaron, a joint venture with SmileyWorld, have been made public.
Round and adorable, the new Hongguang MINI EV Macaron comes equipped with pedal-shaped rims and oval lighting. The new vehicle features a four-seater layout and measures 3064 mm in length, 1493 mm in width, and 1614 mm in height. Its wheelbase is 2010 mm. There are five available exterior colors: avocado green, pink, yellow, beige, and iris blue, which is the Macaron series' emblematic color.
There are two possible inside color options: Brownie Black and Milk Toffee. Bluetooth and USB connection options are supported by the 8-inch floating center control screen. Upgrades to the double-spoke multifunction steering wheel include music shuffle and audio control. The round control knobs below are matched with the round rectangular air conditioning outlets at the same time.
There are 15 storage compartments, two cup holders, two hooks, two map pockets, and one net pocket located throughout the interior. The seats are coated in plush materials and have double-hardness foam cushions.
The second-row seats can also be folded down individually. When all of the second-row seats are folded down, the trunk room increases to 734L, which can accommodate one 32-inch, one 28-inch, and two 24-inch luggage at the same time.
The powertrain configurations have not yet been made public. To put things in perspective, the Hongguang MINI EV Macaron is now propelled by a single rear motor with an output of 20 kW and 85 Nm. The CLTC cruise ranges are 120 and 170 kilometers, with a maximum speed of 100 km/h.
The Hongguang MINI EV has sold more than a million units overall since its July 2020 launch. In particular, sales from January to September of this year totaled roughly 170,000 units, or nearly 30% of China's mini-car market. In China, the new vehicle is anticipated to debut on November 15.
