New MPV from China - Wuling Journey

[Introz]

just wondering

what the update price for the mpv - wuling journey now

i have not yet go to agent for service yet, although it is overdue. Probably going next week.

 

-------------------

for those who are curious about performance of wuling journey - i must say its satisfactory when i compared to my previous cars. I driven hydundai elantra , hundai accent , subaru justy previously, I think its value for money & served all my needs.

 

Last month i even drove 7 adults to JB for nite supper. When driving up the slope in woodlands/malaysia custom & there was no signs of strains as I drive up on 3rd or 2nd gear. Bearing in mind the gear ratio of this vehicle is to give lots of torque at lower gear but sacrificing top speed. Thus 7 adults at 80km/hr is the best it can go, with lots of torque to reach 80. On a flat road, it can hit 90km/hr but the rpm will exceed the optimum range & fuel comsumption becomes higher.

 

I think the air con is still good so far, especially the rear air cond & with solar films. plus I always open the slide door to ventilate the trapped hot air before driving off under hot sun. I think within 5 minute, the front & rear air con does its work to bring down temp quickly.

1051cc china-made engine to haul 7 pax?

 

i thought my korean 1086cc strains a little to haul 5 pax.

 

then again, maybe china tech far superior to korean tech

 

this one going up genting? seriously i have my doubts..

 

 

going up genting can, all 7 pax get down and push the car all the way to first world

[Arsonist]

so anyone here right now driving a wuling journey? am considering buying one... but still undecided.

[Alheych]

has wuling pulled out of the sg market? i heard rumours about a china brand pulling out, and wuling is no longer listed on new cars on sgcarmart.

[JingHng_1990]

Looks prrety decent. Think should try...

[BrandonChin]

Has sliding doors!

[Nilsonwong]

Don't make me wrong, but this is not a MPV by the definition of Chinese.

It's a micro van please.

let me start by saying i don't know much about wuling.

 

it is popular in china, cos it's a GM joint-venture so people have more faith in it.

 

but in singapore context, just look at this thread. covers its introduction until it closed down in such a short span. tells a lot.
