GM’s All-New Wuling MINI EV GameBoy Edition Revealed

SAIC-GM-Wuling has just revealed the new Wuling MINI EV GameBoy, a new range-topping edition of the brand’s successful all-electric minicar that has revolutionized China’s automotive market. The second joint venture of General Motors in the Asian country revealed the first official images of the MINI EV GameBoy, which will become the most equipped and customizable edition of the model.

The all-new Wuling MINI EV GameBoy is officially revealed after being leaked by Chinese authorities at the end of last year, who once again preempted SGMW by showing images of the vehicle’s exterior. Now, the manufacturer confirms that the range-topping version of the Wuling MINI EV introduces an updated exterior design with the new Global Silver logo and will adopt a larger battery pack.

Notably, the new Wuling MINI EV GameBoy was introduced in four highly customized, video game-inspired themes to appeal to younger customers. The special editions are the matte black-painted “Hurricane Phantom” with red accents, camo green “Jungle Crossing” inspired by military combat games, ice white “Interstellar Roaming” and brown accented “Party Sweetheart.”

Each of the all-new Wuling MINI EV GameBoy’s custom finishes comes from the factory with its own style of illuminated grille, themed bodywork graphics, eye-catching wheel designs and different roof racks. These design elements are joined by a noticeably updated body with specific stampings, new headlight assemblies, a more streamlined grille and bumpers that give it a modern appearance.

On a mechanical level, the Wuling MINI EV GameBoy will debut an updated electric powertrain that develops 30 kW or 40 horsepower, as well as a larger 26 kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery pack that will nearly double the maximum driving range from the current 170 km to 300 km (186 miles) on a single charge.

The all-new range-topping Wuling MINI EV GameBoy is expected to officially go on sale in the Chinese market in the coming months, alongside current versions of the model with the classic red logo. As such, full details and further images of the MINI EV GameBoy will be revealed at a later date when the vehicle is about to hit dealerships in China.

  1. I want to see this survive a crash test! NO WAY!

    1. There would be absolutely nothing left of this in a collision with a crew cab, long bed 2500. It would be a smear of soft tissues, plastics, and metals.

    2. Do you mean like the motorcycle, scooter, or moped this is meant to replace in China? I would argue this is safer than any two-wheeled motor vehicle in the US.

      1. Just playing devil’s advocate, I think a Honda Goldwing would be safer for it’s operators almost 100% of the time over this.

        Reply
        1. This weighs twice the weight of a Goldwing, has seatbelts and an airbag. I wouldn’t bet my life on the Goldwing being safer.

          1. Wouldn’t want to bet my life on either of them (see my original comment) probably one of the many reasons this car wouldn’t sell in a developed country.

            1. So China is not a developed country? China is older and more developed than the U.S.

  2. FUGLY!!!

  3. Sell it in the States.

    1. For what?

      Reply
      1. Much safer than a motorcycle.

        1. Ok so sell it in the states because it’s safer then a motorcycle? You do realize that is what I asked him right?

          Reply
          1. He’s exactly right. European law calls these vehicles “quadricycles” and they generally are licensed the same as a moped, as a safer alternative. (i.e. in some countries, you don’t need a driver’s license and can be a younger age)

            US law regulates these as “low speed vehicles,” again, different from regular cars.

            Reply
            1. Cool story. But what I’m asking in the first place is why sell it here? To be 100% honest I don’t really care if it’s safer then a motorcycle the guy said sell it in the states I asked him why.

              1. OK Shane….. it is a great city car, and even for rural two lanes with under 50MPH limitations probably. it doesn’t use gas and has a very respectable range. it gets groceries with little resistance and takes up half of a downtown parking space. Sure it would fall INTO a decent NYC pothole, but frankly that F250 you are talking about will soon be an orphan for non commercial use. and JUSTIFIABLY so. 8-10 MPG vehicles are going to be a thing of the past for individual commuting soon I predict.

                what amazes me is the number of clowns who yell for more drilling and energy independence while driving guzzlers that eat up our independence. another reason to get rid of those cars/trucks…..petroleum byproducts are what are used to make medical supplies….like catheters to help you piss after surgery…..hummmm which would I rather have???? soft plastic or bamboo????? your choice buddy. The future is upon us.

                Reply
                1. I stopped reading your response the second you said the f250 I was talking about. If you find where I said anything about that please show me thanks buddy.

                2. Nice rant bob.

                3. Bob,
                  Your delusional, electric cars are not going to save the earth.

    2. Anytime these guys write an article about some vehicle sold in china that you can’t get here someone always says sell it here sell it here. Funny thing you probably wouldn’t buy one even if they did sell it here.

      1. The writers do it just to p@ss us red blooded Americans off.

        Reply
  4. Perhaps an interesting product for the European markets, like the Smart brand cars (which are ICE). Chinese and even Vietnamese brands (car manufacturers) are trying to set foot in Europe already.

  5. Selling to a younger Chinese population reminds me of the Sixties when VW Beetles & Honda scooters were being marketed to the Baby Boomers of that era.

  6. If this is the shape of things to come, the future looks mighty grim indeed

  7. Once again GM is more interested in selling vehicles that look like pregnant skate boards in a China 🇨🇳 that you know where.

  8. Ev’s will not fix the problem 100% but, it is definitely something we all need to realize. There are many things we need to do in order to save this planet, not one thing will fix it. It will be many things we ALL will need to do if we want to remain in existence as the human race on the planet earth. Sitting back and saying “That’s not going to make a difference” is why we are in the predicament we are in, it’s going to require everyone on this beautiful planet to come together and fix it. If not, we all will surely parish along with Earth, so it’s up to each and every one of us to do our part in order to turn this around. It’s pretty simple if you think about it. Do your part!
