Wuling Hong Guang is a compact Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) produced since 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]
Not to be confused with the Wuling Rongguang, whose English name looks similar.
It is reported Hong Guang was the best selling vehicle in China during the first four months of 2014.[8]
In August 2013, Wuling launched the Wuling Hong Guang S,[9] 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 Kunming.[10][11]

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."
