On January 12, Wuling released the official image of the Bingo Plus small SUV. The new car is expected to officially launch in the first half of this year. Judging from Wuling’s brand strategic positioning, the Bingo Plus may cost less than 100,000 yuan (14,000 USD).
From the name alone, you can probably guess that the Wuling Bingo Plus is an enlarged and upgraded version of the Wuling Bingo. For reference, the standard Wuling Bingo currently has eight models on sale, with three cruising range options of 203 km, 333 km, and 410 km. The price range is 59,800 – 88,800 yuan (8,300 – 12,400 USD). Once launched, the Wuling Bingo Plus will compete directly with the BYD Dolphin.
Size comparison
- Wuling Bingo: 3950/1708/1580 mm, wheelbase 2560 mm
- Wuling Bingo Plus: 4090/1720/1575 mm, wheelbase 2610 mm
- BYD Dolphin: 4125/1770/1570 mm, wheelbase 2700 mm
The powertrain will be equipped with a front electric motor that outputs a maximum power of 75 kW and a peak torque of 180 Nm. The battery pack will have a capacity of 50.6 kWh. At this, Wuling has not yet announced the cruising range information. But judging from the standard Bingo’s cruising ranges, the Plus may offer more than 400 km range.
In terms of appearance, the front face adopts a closed grille design, signifying its status as an electric vehicle. Other notable design elements include round headlights, five-spoke rims, through-type taillights, and a dual-color body with a suspended roof effect.
Judging from the interior spy shot, the air-conditioning outlets and center console are different compared to that of the standard Bingo.
Lastly, launched at the end of March 2023, so far, Wuling Bingo has achieved sales of more than 230,000 units in nine months, ranking first in the sales ranking of small pure electric vehicles. Will the Wuling Bingo Plus carry on this legacy? Stay tuned!
