The second of the three Chinese-made cars that arrived on Forza Horizon 5's Series 4 update marks another debut of a Chinese car company and it's obviously a sensible one.
Care to guess what that Chinese car is? Yes, it's a Wuling but what is it?
If you said the Wuling Sunshine, then yes. It is. It's the microvan built by the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture and it's known to be one of the best-selling cars sold in China. Having accumulated 25 points from the Storm Season Playlist and gained the keys to this Chinese best-seller, it's time for quick storytelling.
The second-generation Wuling Sunshine was unveiled in 2012 and gained numerous revisions. It was powered by a choice of either a 1.0L, a 1.1L, or a 1.2L petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, the only gearbox available for a microvan like this. The latter produces 82HP of power and 115Nm of torque. The Wuling Sunshine is known as the third best-selling car in the world and it was known to be China's best-seller from 2010 to 2013. It's priced around five grand and does over 40 miles to the gallon.
I know what you're thinking but having a slow and tiny van in the roster of super-fast cars in the game is like having the anti-thesis doing the work of a thesis but hey, this is Horizon, and there are no limits to your imagination. It may be slow, small, and Chinese, but with a little creative thinking, you can come up with something unique, something that will upset almost every Horizon fanatic you met.
