The Wuling Victory midsize MPV has finally been revealed in full as the partly GM-owned automaker has released official photos of the exterior.
While the interior shots we saw earlier this month included one CGI that showed bits of the exterior as well, we now get to see actual studio shots of the MPV and we have to say the Wuling Victory doesn’t look half bad.
As with most new minivans nowadays, the Wuling Victory looks like a mix between an MPV and an SUV, boasting a higher ground clearance than some crossovers as well as muscular proportions. Highlights include Wuling’s new global silver badge at the center of the sizable grille flanked by split LED headlights.

The profile sports a “floating roof” design thanks to the blacked-out B-, C- and D-pillars as well as a visible stamping on the belt line that’s connected to the sleek LED taillights. Out back, we can also spot a generous tailgate and a clean bumper design devoid of tailpipes.
The Wuling Victory is significantly smaller than full-size MPVs like the Buick GL8 or VW Viloran, measuring 4,875 mm (191.9 in) in length; that’s about 350 mm less than the GL8 and almost 500 mm less than the Viloran. The Victory is also slightly narrower at 1,880 mm (74 in) and lower at 1,700 mm (66.9 in).
The wheelbase measures 2,800 mm (110.2 in), enabling the Victory to offer six-seats as standard, though a luxurious four-seat variant with a second-row delete and two captain’s chairs on the third row is also available.
According to CarNewsChina, the most powerful engine offered in the Victory is a 1.5-liter turbo with 148 HP (150 PS) on tap. That’s not much, especially for a minivan designed to travel with six passengers and luggage onboard.
The Wuling Victory will go on sale in China in the fourth quarter of 2020 and later on in other markets as well. The MPV is one of several new models that will spearhead Wuling’s global expansion. If the reports from China are accurate, Europe will be the first region outside China to get the Wuling Victory from 2022.
