The second generation Wuling Hongguang V updated the front fascia to a design that's similar to the later revealed second generation Wuling Hongguang (Wuling Hongguang II). The second generation model was sold from 41,800 yuan to 55,800 yuan.[3]

In late March 2021, Chevrolet introduced the N400 van as the Tornado Van in Mexico as a replacement for the Tornado coupé utility, which was discontinued one year prior.[4]

It went on sale on 2 August 2021 on presale limited to 400 units.[5] Being only offered in the LS trim, it is powered by a 1.5 litre engine, and is available in two colours; silver and white.
