General Motors China’s mini-commercial vehicle joint venture with SAIC and Wuling Motors, introduced the new Wuling Rong Guang minivan today on its stand at Auto China 2008.

With a length of 157.5 inches, height of 75.5 inches, width of 63.8 inches and wheelbase of 106.3, the Rong Guang offers a much more spacious cabin than traditional mini-commercial vehicle. Its 1.2-liter DOHC gasoline engine generates maximum of 70 horsepower per liter (84 total) and maximum torque of 80 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm. The Rong Guang consumes less than 5.5 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers (about 43 mpg) under a constant speed of 50 km/h and is expected to reach Chinese dealers in May.

“The debut of the Wuling Rong Guang at this year’s leading auto show in China demonstrates our commitment to the growth of SAIC-GM-Wuling,

Finally, some halfway original styling from a Chinese car company. They need a different name if they plan to export, I mean, wrong gang? And turbocharge the engine!

PC alert!!! Will the Rongs make it right? (Sorry, couldn't resist)
