Wuling Hong Guang is a compact Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) produced since September 2010 by SAIC-GM-Wuling,[1][5] the joint venture of Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, Liuzhou Wuling Motors Co and GM China. It is also marketed since 2013 as Chevrolet Enjoy in India by GM India.[2][6][7] It is also marketed in Indonesia by SAIC-GM-Wuling Motor Indonesia since 2017 as Wuling Confero S[8][9][10] and was launched there to the public on 2 August 2017.

Not to be confused with the Wuling Rongguang, whose English name looks similar.

In August 2013, Wuling launched the Wuling Hong Guang S,[11] presenting them not in centers like Shanghai or Beijing, but in the two second-tier cities Harbin in the North-West and Kunming in the South-Western province of Yunnan.[12][13]

It was reported that the Hong Guang was the best selling vehicle in China during the first four months of 2014.[14]

The little seven-seater is squarely aimed at China’s burgeoning class of private businessmen who need a car they can use for the family and for business. Or as the Chinese press release says (they are always more fun than the English-language ones), change “help business, help family” to “help family, help business.”
