The invention discloses a bainite steel wheel for a rail traffic passenger car and a manufacturing method thereof. The bainite steel wheel comprises the chemical components of 0.08-0.35% of C, 0.10-1.50% of Ni, 0.25-1.50% of Cr, 0.70-2.10% of Mn, 0.20-1.00% of Si, 0.01-1.00% of W, 0.05-0.60% of Mo, 0.01-0.80% of Cu, 0.01-0.20% of V, 0.001-0.20% of Nb, 0.0001-0.0350% of B, 0.001-0.040% of RE, 0-0.020% of P, 0-0.020% of S, and the balance Fe and inevitable residual elements, and in addition, the sum of Mn and Cr is larger than or equal to 2.0% and smaller than or equal to 3.0%. According to thebainite steel wheel for the rail traffic passenger car and the manufacturing method thereof, the novel C-Ni-Mn-Cr-Mo alloy design system and the alloying principle are adopted, after the wheel is formed, advanced heat treatment is conducted, then, the carbide-free bainite structure of a rim is obtained, and the wheel has the characteristics of being excellent in comprehensive mechanical property,corrosion resistance and service performance, high in strength, hardness, toughness, wheel rail rolling contact fatigue (RCF) resistance and hot crack resistance, and the like.
