SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) has announced that since the Binguo Pro’s pre-sales on April 14, more than 30,000 locked-in orders have been received for its latest compact EV. Over 10,000 cars have also been delivered to customers, ifeng reported.

The Binguo Pro’s pre-sales price is between 58,800 and 72,800 yuan (8,700 to 10,700 USD). It will officially launch in China on May 22.

The Binguo Pro and its family

The Binguo Pro is sold alongside the base Binguo, the slightly larger Binguo S, and the range-topping Binguo Plus. The Binguo lineup, often called Bingo outside China, is sold under SGMW’s Wuling Silver sub-brand, which focuses on personal EVs and passenger cars.

Model	Pricing
Binguo	56,800 – 84,800 yuan (8,400 – 12,500 USD)
Binguo Pro	58,800 – 72,800 yuan (8,700 – 10,700 USD)
Binguo S	66,800 – 89,800 yuan (9,800 – 13,200 USD)
Binguo Plus	75,800 – 98,800 yuan (11,200 – 14,500 USD)

What’s different with the Pro

The Binguo Pro can be seen as a major refresh of the base Binguo, which was first announced in early 2023. Its styling has been revised to resemble Wuling’s new EV look, with “cutesy“round headlights reminiscent of the refreshed Mini EV.

The Pro has also grown in size to satiate the modern driver’s ever-growing lust for larger vehicles. While it remains a five-door five-seater car, the Pro measures 4,050 mm in length, 1,758 mm in width, and 1,580 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,560 mm.

This also means the Binguo Pro, whose prices start at a mere 2,000 yuan (300 USD) higher than the base Binguo.

The interior of the Binguo Pro retains the lineup’s retro-heavy theming, with swathes of cream- and beige-coloured surfaces and chrome switchgear. Unlike the base Binguo, all trims of the Pro get a 12.8-inch infotainment screen running Wuling’s Ling OS, which supports AI voice commands, phone connectivity, and remote app operations.

Powertrain – Air & liquid-cooled batteries

All trims of the Binguo Pro feature a 65 kW (87 hp) front motor, with a top speed of 130 km/h. LFP batteries are the standard option, too, with lower trims getting a 31.9 kWh Sunwoda pack, good for a CLTC range of 330 km. Higher trims get a 37.9 kWh pack from Volkswagen-backed Gotion, with CLTC range now bumped up to 403 km.

It should be noted that only higher trims (with the larger battery) get liquid cooling for their packs. Lower trims (with the smaller battery) have to make do with only air cooling. Like many budget mini-EVs, owners of air-cooled Binguo Pros may experience severely de-rated DC charge sessions due to high battery temperatures.

This phenomenon is also known as “rapidgating”, a term coined by Nissan Leaf owners with air-cooled batteries. Wuling states that lower trims will complete a 30-80% fast charge in a “leisurely” 35 minutes, and this slower charging speed may be crucial for capping battery thermals.

Higher liquid-cooled trims support 3C fast charging, with the same 30-80% fast charge taking only 15 minutes. AC charging power also doubles from 3.3 kW to 6.6 kW, and a full AC charge takes 6 hours, instead of 9.

More on Wuling

According to China EV DataTracker, Wuling’s domestic sales have slumped significantly since the start of 2026, with year-on-year decreases of almost 50% for February and March. Amid fierce competition in the mini-EV market and a rapidly ageing ICE lineup of MPVs and mini-workvans, Wuling is under immense pressure to regain lost ground in China.

Mini EVs accounted for almost half of Wuling’s sales in March 2026, while the Binguo lineup accounted for almost one-quarter of domestic sales. The affordable yet profit-lean Hongguang Mini EV, one of China’s mini-EV pioneers, made up another quarter of sales.

Wuling’s performance is much better outside China, with significant footholds in emerging markets such as Latin America and Southeast Asia. SGMW operates a major manufacturing base in Indonesia, exporting Wuling’s vehicles across the ASEAN region.

A smaller plant has also been established in Malaysia, assembling complete knock-down (CKD) kits of Wuling models for the local market. This bears echoes of the early days of China’s auto industry, when regional plants signed deals with foreign automakers for CKD kits, bypassing high import taxes through simplified local production.

The Binguo lineup, now bolstered by the Pro’s arrival, will have to duke it out with rivals like Geely‘s EX2 (Xingyuan) and GWM‘s multi-fuel Ora 5. Overseas, though, with the successes of the original Binguo and the Air EV in ASEAN markets, one can expect to see spy shots of right-hand drive Binguo Pros very soon.
