TQ Wuling’s city-sized electric Bingo hit Malaysia today: Pro RM67,800, Max RM72,800 on-the-road, first 500 units get RM5k rebate, effectively RM62,800. The 3950 mm hatch rides on 31.9/37.9 kWh LFP batteries good for 273/337 km WLTP; 50 kW DC charges 30-80% in <35 min. Standard kit includes dual 10.25-inch screens, six-way powered driver seat and six airbags—segment-first—but no AEB/ACC. Rivals like Proton eMas 5 offer ADAS yet slightly lower range.
