Pugs are active little dogs that look different from other dogs, which makes them interesting and attractive. That being said, they’re not very good at being dogs. Because pugs are small dogs that have trouble breathing, a “Beware of Pug” sign probably won’t stop people from breaking the law. The Wuling Mini EV Cabrio is the smallest electric convertible car in the world. What it means in terms of cars is similar to a pug. There’s nothing great about this car, but you can’t help but love it. The Wuling Mini EV Cabrio costs $15,000 more than the Mazda MX-5 in China. It would cost $15,000 less if it were sold in the US. A convertible car that runs on electricity and has a roof that folds down automatically costs USD 14,000. That’s the end of it. The Wuling Mini is taken apart in our most recent Wheelsboy film. Even though it’s not a very good car, it has a certain beauty. A single 40-horsepower, 81-lb-ft torque electric motor in the rear is powered by a 26.5 kWh battery pack hidden behind the car’s unique boxy shape. It’s not too heavy and goes very slowly. It weighs about the same as a tic-tac-toe. Does how easy it is to use make up for how slow it is? Without a doubt, not. This is the only electric car I’ve seen with a real key because the inside is so simple. The handbrake and climate settings are right, but the radio looks like it was sent back in time to 1999. There’s not even a trunk. Open a cover that works as a trunk door from inside the cabin and fold down the seats to get to the back cargo area. Still, that’s more storage room than some homes in Manhattan. More important than the Wuling’s comfort features is how fun it is to drive. It’s too bad that none of the interactions have been nice. It is said to have some of the worst sound shielding inside because of its 12-inch wheels and bicycle tires. It is also said to handle and ride very badly. Even though it has problems, it has a happy and pleasant vibe. Ethan Robertson, host of Wheelsboy, says that it gets more attention than other race cars because people seem to love it. Why does the Wuling have such a nice personality when it’s so bad at everything a car should be good at? I’m not sure, but I’d like to drive one because it looks so nice.
