Overview
[edit | edit source]China
[edit | edit source]The Hongguang S1 was launched in China on 20 August 2015 with three trim levels (Standard, Comfort and Luxury)[3] and positioned above the Hongguang and Hongguang S MPVs. On 20 April 2016, a new trim level with different exterior design was launched as Hongguang S1 Exclusive and based on the Luxury trim.[4] Due to low sales, Hongguang S1 was discontinued around early 2017 and it was replaced by Hongguang S3.[5][6]

Indonesia
[edit | edit source]In Indonesia, the Hongguang S1 is sold by SGMW Indonesia as the Wuling Confero,[7][8] where it was launched to the public on 2 August 2017. Two variants were launched; Confero that based on the pre-2016 Chinese market Hongguang S1 and Confero S that based on the Hongguang S1 Exclusive. The Confero has gray coloured interior while Confero S has more luxurious dual tone beige-black coloured interior.
A commercial van variant based on Confero with 1.2-litre petrol engine called Wuling Formo, which is available in panel/blind van and 8-seater passenger van/wagon ("minibus"), was launched on 7 November 2018.[9][10][11] It has gray or brown coloured interior option.
The name "Confero" is derived from Latin word for "togetherness",[12] while "Formo" means "to form" in the same language.[13]
A new variant called Confero S ACT (Automatic Clutch Transmission) with Schaeffler-developed 6-speed semi-automatic transmission was introduced on 22 April 2019.[14] Minor changes also appeared for all Confero S variants, such as brand new black coloured interior, day/night view center mirror, driver seat high adjuster, emergency stop signal and electric retract mirrors, also the deletion of rear fog lights and HDMI port.[15][16]
The Confero S received another changes on 10 March 2021.[17] The changes including new sporty front-end design and also the deletion of engine cover (except for ACT trim), headlamps leveling, analog clock (except for L and ACT trims), third row USB port and variable valve timing (except for ACT trim).[18] Facelifted Confero with Formo's front grille and smoked headlights was announced on 3 June 2021.[19] On 22 October 2021, passenger variant of Formo also received the same facelift treatment as Confero. This model is renamed to Formo S and also available as 5-seater variant.[20]
In January 2023, the model gained a pickup body style called the Wuling Formo Max. It is powered by the 1.5-litre engine from the Confero.[21][22]
