Malaysia is preparing to welcome a brand-new player in the electric vehicle market — the Wuling Bingo EV. Slated for launch in Q4 2025, the Bingo promises to bring stylish design, practical range, and most importantly, affordability to Malaysian drivers looking to make the switch to electric.

A Strategic Partnership

The Bingo EV comes through a partnership between Tan Chong Motor and SAIC-GM-Wuling. With local assembly planned in Kuala Lumpur, the move isn’t just about bringing in another EV — it’s about creating jobs, strengthening the supply chain, and ensuring the car can be priced competitively for Malaysians.

What to Expect from the Bingo EV

The Wuling Bingo is a compact hatchback designed for city driving, with just enough flair to turn heads while keeping things practical. Here’s what Malaysians can expect:

• Design: A retro-modern hatchback with two-tone finishes and rounded styling that combines nostalgia with a contemporary look.

• Size: At just under 4 meters long, it’s compact and perfect for city traffic and tight parking spaces.

• Battery & Range: Two battery options are expected, with ranges around 330 km and 410 km on paper — ideal for daily commutes and urban trips.

• Charging: The car supports both AC home charging and DC fast-charging, with the latter capable of topping up from 20% to 80% in about 35 minutes.

• Features: A digital dual-screen setup, LED lighting, synthetic leather seats, keyless entry, and other comfort-oriented touches.

• Price: The biggest attraction — expected to come in at under RM100,000, making it one of the most affordable EVs in Malaysia.

Building Excitement: The #HelloTQWBingo Tour

Ahead of its official launch, Wuling is running a nationwide roadshow dubbed #HelloTQWBingo. The tour brings the Bingo EV to malls and public spaces, allowing Malaysians to see the car up close, check out the interior, and even experience some of the tech firsthand. Interactive activities, previews, and community events are part of the rollout to build trust and excitement around the brand.

Why the Bingo EV Matters

The launch of the Wuling Bingo isn’t just about another car. It marks an important step in Malaysia’s transition to clean mobility:

1. Affordability – With a price tag below RM100,000, the Bingo opens the EV market to more Malaysians than ever before.

2. Local Assembly – By producing the car locally, Wuling supports jobs and helps reduce costs.

3. EV Ecosystem Growth – More EV options on the road encourage faster expansion of charging infrastructure and support services.

4. Consumer Confidence – A preview tour gives buyers a chance to explore the car in person, helping reduce uncertainties about EVs.

Challenges Ahead

Of course, some challenges remain. Real-world range might be lower than advertised, charging infrastructure is still growing, and after-sales service will need to prove itself. Warranty coverage, battery durability, and resale value are also questions that buyers will be asking before committing.

Final Thoughts

The Wuling Bingo EV is shaping up to be one of the most exciting and practical EV launches in Malaysia this year. For urban drivers and first-time EV owners, it represents a stylish, affordable, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional cars. If Wuling delivers on its promises — with reliable performance, good after-sales service, and competitive pricing — the Bingo could very well become the benchmark for entry-level EVs in Malaysia.
