More on Wuling Bingo SUV
The Wulign Bingo SUV stands on the same platform as the Bingo Plus. It is the Tianyu M modular architecture suitable for EVs with body lengths of 3500 – 4600 mm. You can easily tell this car is part of the Bingo series by its exterior styling. The Bingo SUV has oval-shaped headlights, a minimalistic front bumper, and a sleek body shape.
Aside from being cute, the Bingo SUV looks bulky due to its high beltline and small R15 wheels. But blackened pillars, a roof, and side-view mirrors make it a bit cooler. The Bingo SUV has four body shades: white, red, gray, and green. Its dimensions are 4090/1720/1575 mm with a wheelbase of 2610 mm. So, it is a small crossover for in-city commutes.
Regardless of its dimensions, the Bingo SUV’s interior can surprise you with its features. It has 23 storage spaces all over the cabin. The second-row passengers have up to 882 mm of legroom. And if you want to fit more stuff in the car, you can fold the second-row seats to increase the trunk capacity to 1,450 L.
Of course, there are some drawbacks. The Bingo SUV doesn’t have a frunk. And there is no armrest or a central headrest in the second row. The center console of this cute crossover has a touchscreen powered by Ling OS. It also has four airbags.
