Comparing too many passenger cars, there is almost no media attempt to compare commercial vehicles. According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China’s sales of commercial vehicles last year exceeded 2.2 million vehicles, a growth rate faster than passenger cars as everyone knows, and China is already the world’s largest commercial vehicle market. In fact, China's auto industry started from commercial vehicles. Local commercial vehicle companies are highly competitive globally. Last year, more than half of all export vehicles were contributed by commercial vehicles. Therefore, we cannot ignore it. This huge market.
The sales of micro-markets last year were about one million vehicles, of which SAIC-GM-Wuling and Changan Star monopolized more than 70% of the market's share. The Wuling Light series has sold more than 370,000 units, far more than the 200,000-unit Jetta and Santana sold annually. It is the largest Chinese model in terms of sales; the Changan Star series sold at about 170,000 vehicles last year and can also be accessed. The top 5 passenger cars. Last year, sales of Guangwu Wuling reached 18,000 units, while Changan Micro-Vehicles sold 16,000 units, attracting many other passenger cars from the wide-area automaker.
In June last year, with the help of the Changan Star II generation, Chang'an sold more than 37,500 vehicles, which exceeded Wuling's 35,100 units and surpassed Wuling for the first time in nearly two years. The prices of Wuling Light and Changan Star II are similar, both less than 50,000 yuan. The comparison test wanted to join the rising star of Dongfeng Xiaokang. However, because the Guangzhou dealer vehicle was sold out, it was only possible to compare the Wuling light with the Chang’an Star II generation.
Space and Shape: Chang'an Star II dominates
Different from passenger cars, the main purpose of mini-vehicles is to carry people out. Therefore, most consumers think that they will be the size of the cargo space.
As a new product that came out last year, Chang'an Star II is crowned with the title of “new spaceâ€. In their words, it borrows from the “MM†design concept of car (ie, the smallest external space occupied, and the largest internal load space. ) Through meticulous layout, the internal cargo space of the vehicle has reached 3.9 cubic meters, which is the largest available space within the mini vehicle of the same level.
From the naked eye, it can be seen that the length and height of the Changan Star II generation are higher than those of the Wuling. Actually, with the measurement of the carrying space inside the vehicle, the Changan Star II generation has nearly 0.7 cubic meters more light than the Wuling. m, slightly better in space. The integrated rear door design also increases the convenience of entering and leaving the goods compared to the traditional design of Wuling Light.
Of course, the light of Wuling is also making a fuss in its only space, adopting a foldable rear row seat, in addition to increasing the interior space of the vehicle, clearing the obstacles for the driver to observe the rear, and the light of Wuling is The width of the body is better than Changan Star II, making it look a bit more coordinated.
In addition, Changan Star II, which is almost the leading generation, is refreshing in appearance compared with Wuling's light that was released at the end of 2002. It is worth mentioning that the Changan Star II generations are all integrated into the car windows. Of course, Wuling's light has secret "weapons" in space, that is, it has its extended version of the product, which can compete with the Changan Star II generation.
Manipulation: Light of Wuling
Objectively speaking, the micro-vehicles with a price of only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan are mainly used to pull goods. Therefore, there is no sense of control in general. For example, there is no hydraulic assistance system for cars, the steering wheel is heavier than a car, and there are no shock absorbers. System, so you have to bear a relatively strong bump on the road; In addition, because the seal is not good enough, the car noise is far more than the car, only the noise at idle speed is about 87 decibels, it is a bit uncomfortable. In addition, even though it is the maximum displacement of 1.3L in the micro-vehicle, it is impossible to have any sense of pushing back. Only a cost budget of tens of thousands of yuan cannot be exhaustive.
Although the cost is limited, manufacturers also try to be as comfortable as possible, such as more optimal adjustment of the driver's seat control pedal control angle, shift lever and handbrake, and adjust the steering wheel angle to make the pedal throttle angle comfortable The range of driving a long time can relax the tension of the foot and avoid the ankle pain.
Changan Star II generation pedal pedal is lower than the Wuling light, but from the actual use of the situation, the Wuling light is more smoothly, the gear is more clear, speed-raising system is also better than the Changan Star II generation; From the point of view of the technical parameters, the light weight of the Wuling car body is smaller than that of the Changan Star II generation. This shows that after a long period of operation, the light of Wuling seems to outperform the Chang’an Star Generation II in terms of power matching. In addition, in the process of driving, the stability of the latter is also not as good as the light of Wuling, no way, this is the price that Changan Star II must pay for pursuing a high body, and it may also be the effect of light body of Wuling. .

Test Drive Reviews
In fact, besides the intuitive body size and shape, the Wuling Light and the Changan Star II generation are almost the same model. After several years of development, the micro-vehicle technology has become very mature and convergent, or Wuling Both Changan and Changan have studied each other thoroughly. To be honest, let me choose which one is really difficult. If you are a self-employed person, get a space that is no less than GL8 at a price of less than 50,000 yuan. Use it to pull people, one word: value! Based on this, we must pay tribute to manufacturers such as Wuling and Chang'an. - Wang Canbin
Chang'an Star II and Wuling's "clear personality." I think the advantage of Wuling Light is better handling, and Chang'an Star II's advantages are higher and wider in the internal space, but the handling is slightly more difficult to use. If I choose one, I will choose the Changan Star II generation. I would like to open this car. I definitely want to be able to pack more goods. It is more cost-effective to choose a larger space. - Long Jiali
The first time I tried to drive a commercial vehicle, I felt quite fresh. These "mini minivans" have seen more often in the vicinity of various wholesale markets, but it is still the first time. Their internal space is also good, and the cargo space is still somewhat unexpected, and the price is less than 50,000 yuan. However, the sense of ride is indeed very general. When the speed is up to 70 kilometers, it feels very "gone up." I think that people often see people driving these small vans on the road and really sweat for them. Advice, for life safety, or slow down. - Wen Jing
On the sales of single-model vehicles, sales of Changan Star II and Wuling Light have far more sales in one year than Jetta and Excelle. They are not popular in big cities, but they have unparalleled influence in second- and third-tier cities. Over the years, the light of Wuling has been sold better than the Star of Changan II. We have been looking for a "why." This time, the two vehicles were pulled out for testing. Although Wuling's light is inferior to its rivals in many aspects such as size, space, and shape, the overtaking of a project makes it a lot of extra points. People who buy micro facets are used to pull the goods. In the case where there is not much difference in the space of the boot, buying a relatively comfortable and comfortable car is an inevitable result. In Japan, micro facets and even automatic transmissions are optional.
