The little Wuling Bingo EV has had its price slashed by 30k-40k baht (RM4k-5k) to 369k-389k baht (RM47k-50k) in Thailand, according to AutolifeThailand. It first launched there in July 2024 as an Indonesian import (CBU), with two variants priced at 419k and 449k baht (RM53k and RM57k), although discounts eventually brought the prices to 379k and 409k baht (RM48k and RM52k).
The Thai-CKD model launched in June at 399k baht (RM51k, one variant only); now there are two variants – the 369k baht (RM47k) Lite and the 389k baht (RM50k) Pro. Some minor changes for model year 2025 include a new two-tone Caramel Latte interior, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto inclusion and a new Gray Metallic body colour option (Beige Milk Tea, Mousse Green and Galaxy Blue remain).
The little tyke’s known as the Binguo there (Indonesia uses that name too) and it’s Thai-assembled (CKD), including its 31.9 kWh LFP battery, which NV Gotion produces in Rayong. Distributor EV Primus offers a three-year/100,000 km vehicle warranty, an eight-year/120,000 km battery warranty and a passive lifetime warranty covering the motor, battery and controller.
There’s a 68 PS/150 Nm front-mounted electric motor, a 120 km/h top speed and a 333-km NEDC range. Charging? It’ll swallow up to 6.6 kW AC (20-100% in 4.5 hours) and max 50 kW DC (30-80% in 35 minutes).
At 3,950 mm long, 1,780 mm wide, 1,580 mm tall and with a 2,560 mm wheelbase, the Wuling Bingo is smaller than the Proton eMas 5 in every dimension except height (which it equals). Its 310-litre boot (fold the back seats down for 790 litres) is 65 litres down on the eMas 5 – which has a frunk, something the FWD Bingo does not have.
Available equipment includes LED head and tail lamps, DRLs, electric power steering, 15-inch hub-capped steel wheels with 185/60 tyres, four disc brakes, a tilt-adjustable leather steering wheel, a one-touch up/down driver’s window and four drive modes (Eco+, Eco, Normal, Sport).
You’ll also find keyless entry and start, conventional cruise control, a six-way powered driver’s seat, a 10.25-inch dual screen, a reverse camera and an electronic parking brake with auto hold. Safety kit includes two airbags, TPMS, ISOFIX and drive-away auto lock – no mention of ADAS. Pretty much similar to Indonesia’s specs, then.
Closer to home, TQ Wuling (under Tan Chong) is expected to launch the Segambut-assembled Bingo before year-end with a sub-RM100k price tag. With the RM57k-RM70k eMas 5 flying through the order books, the Bingo is going to have to work very hard indeed, but there’s one saving grace – TQ Wuling has confirmed to us that our car will have six airbags, which is four more than what Indonesia and Thailand get. ADAS may be a step too far, but we dearly hope TQ Wuling proves us wrong!
