Why Can't Europeans Have EVs This Cheap? - Wuling Bingo
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ค. 2024
- The world needs more cheap and spacious EVs with small batteries and Wuling are once again bringing the goods. The Wuling Bingo can go up to 333km / 207 miles on the CLTC cycle and every model costs less than £10,000. It's charming, roomy, cute to look at and pretty funky inside too. It also comes with the silver logo which means it's going abroad too! Perfect.
Have Wuling 'Bingo-ing' crazy or are they onto a winner? Find out in the video.

We need these cars in the UK. Lovely little car.
We do. More affordable little EVs please.
Wuling company full name is SGMW（SAIC-GM-WULING）
Wuling vehicles can use band like MG or Chevrolet and Wuling has done this before.
Don't forget England's beloved Mini.
@@user-znick87 SAIC also own the MG marque, so re badge it to an MG, THEY ALREADY HAVE DEALERSHIPS HERE IN THE UK,
@@antoniuswibowo4030 Sadly small EVs in Europe (Mini, VW Up, Peugeot 208, etc) are all around €35k.
That makes EVs a nearly impossible choice for everyone below median income.
The AirEV has already become the best selling ev in my country, even though it cost around $15K, would love to see Bingo here. It won't be cheap but Indonesian love cute and unique design like this.
For an EV it’s cheap but I understand how $15k is expensive in some countries - what is the price of a typical new petrol car in Indonesia
Can't guarantee it but I'm fairly sure it will be coming there at some point. Hope the price is right.
Where are you based?
@@ElectricDriveAfrica Shanghai (if you're asking me)
@@Peoplestariff at the same price with the AirEv, Indonesian can get a 7 seater ice small mpv. 5 seater hatchback priced at the same price. New car taxes in Indonesia can be pretty hefty, usually the price can be doubled the price in China
I love the practicality AND cute design of this. What the market needs!
Definitely. More small but spacious cars please.
Great stuff! This is exactly the type of car that the world needs to upgrade from motorbikes...
Definitely. In markets where families are still getting around on one bike, this is a much safer option.
Could be ev version of the 60's mini?
It's good , it's afordable , everyone will definately like it 🎉 congrats Wuling design team .
Over 16,000 sales in its first month.
Great, cheap, just what people need
Definitely, there's big market for cars like this.
And the world need 😅 Zero emissions
What a great little car. This is what the Mini should be - not the fat blioated and overpriced BMW current offering
Wait until you see the new one. Looks worse than the current one. This is a cool little car. No doubt the MINI will be better quality and probably a better car overall but this is a very good car for the price.
Pretty simple affordable🎉
Exactly. Simple and affordable. Sums it up nicely.
We need affordable electric cars in Australia!
You do. Think there's only really 4 brands there currently doing electric, right? Or at least 'affordable' electric.
Very nice, this is the type of electric cars we don't have in the EU. It isn't a thing of being "against" electric cars... It's just they will make it 2x the price and we don't have where to charge it 😅
Yeah, they seem intent on selling you only big cars with high margins.
I'm from eastern Europe. They want to push EV's but they are extremely unaffordable, we don't even get incentives. People get 600-800€ salary yet these cars cost more than 30k€. Until something actually affordable shows up EV progress will be just a luxury to the rich.
The styling and details, especially the dash and info panels are quite attractive. It is small practical EV's like this that the world needs now. EV adoption would rise dramatically if most countries would allow these to be available to consumers. With the range of the premium model it is more than a urban vehicle. I could drive from my rural area to the big city 125-miles away. It wouldn't be a terribly comfortable drive like in my BMW, but I used to drive my old 50's & 60's VW Bug for hundreds of miles to as much as the entire west coast(U.S.A.). And still drive my Miata /MX5 hundreds of miles so it wouldn't be that onerous on a long trip even at my advanced age(76). Hope we can get these practical little world EV's Stateside or in Mexico.
Think we'll likely be waiting a bit longer yet but I love your use cases for these, and your previous car collection. Let's hope the world sees sense.
Haha, very funny beginning. Good review mate
Haha. Designed those bingo cards myself.
Brilliant if this could come to the UK under £20k
Here's hoping.
五菱不可能卖到英国，但mg可以，用mg的车标可以卖到英国，mg和wuling都是中国上汽控股的公司
Britain does not mas produce EV's, so why are they charge duty
Why should we pay double?
Those tariffs are robbery
LOL. That convenience stall in the background has a great memorable name.
I'm going to have to watch it back again now.
Amazing channel ! ❤ SUBBED ! 🤝
Thanks so much. Glad you like it.
Great review!
I see Air ev bits and bobs there 😂
Wuling have just introduced the bingo here in Indonesia on the PEVS 23
I wonder when will the bingo be up on sale here in Indonesia 🤔
Nice, looks like you guys will be getting it very soon then. Definitely some shared parts in there. Thanks for the compliment.
@@InsideChinaAuto I hope so because right now this car attracts people's attention.
Keep up the content mate 🙌
@@grant1501 Thank you very much.
Hope the EVs in the future would be that cheaper in around the world
Let's hope so. Either that or we all get richer. 😁
some amazing development in EV battery technologies in China, will increase the drive range, and hopefully bring down the cost of EV too.
@@InsideChinaAutohaha.. let's get rich.😂
China now has all the best cars at best prices - times have changed
They have indeed. Quite a turnaround from just 5 or 6 years ago even.
Thanks for the review. I like this car.
The Dutch need more small EV's with a decent (300km) range. We have a very crowded country with lots of cities with little narrow streets,
The Dutch themself are kinda tall though :)
Glad you like it. Yes, this is certainly more at the budget end of EVs but a very competent car nonetheless. And yeah, you guys are the tallest in the world I believe so legroom is in demand.
excellent review, nicely done
Thank you kindly!
One can buy Mini in NYC, but this car would be better and more afordable for city needs.
Certainly has more space than a new MINI.
美国通用汽车拥有wuling 45%的股份哦。也许可以去到美国，以前他们都是把wuling车标换成雪弗兰然后出口
@@xiaomeinv7 很难说上汽和五菱是控股掌握，用中国技术和平台以及供应链产业链零部件，这是美国不允许的。
I'd love for this come to the U.S.
I think many would but I think the chances are very slim sadly.
Looking forward to Philippines 🇵🇭. Thank you ☕️👏
Pretty decent chance of that I'd say.
Looks like a mini cooper🥰 in a good way
Except on the price sheet.
I love the interior, so fancy
Not too bad for a cheap car is it? Bit vintage style.
We need this in the Caribbean Car Dealerships are Overcharging for electric vehicles if this were here people could actually affoard to buy it!
Couldn't agree more. Let's hope some importers are on the case soon.
Oh wow its so nice, I actually love this
Cool car, yes. And a bargain.
my mini cooper s is awd stick, luv it for the snow & dependability but i do miss my fiero, not speeding has been difficult im still in the weaning process. biggest problem in many cars is the headliner glue and foam rot.
Foam rot sounds awful. Fiero sounds awesome though.
Interesting vid, mate, subbed.
Had an Email from a uk dealer asking if I would be interested in a BYD Atto, Coming in at £37k, bit pricey. I can't see any EV coming in at less than £20k in the UK. Seems to be the minimum price point.😐
Thanks Bruno. Much appreciated. Think the UK's best chance right now might be the BYD Seagull which could (and I'll stress the could) come in at about 20k when it gets there but we'd be lucky.
I predict they will give initial price of £18k but realistically will end up being £25k
@@wazza888 If it ever gets to the UK
it's a gorgeous looking car!
Happy you think so. Doesn't try to be anything it's not, and you have to appreciate that.
The problem with £10k cars out of China is that once they arrive in Europe and are fully localized, they turn out to be £20k+ cars.
The sad truth. Nobody wants you to have cheap cars.
ur great at these reviews. keep it coming.
You're great at this feedback. Thanks very much.
A hill test in city and on high way is in order with that lower engine spec so that people can plan accordingly.
Will try to get one for just such a thing, but it's hard to get these things anywhere outside of Liuzhou
Great second car.. easy to park and stylish too.
It is. Very decent car.
Amazing
It is a little star.
Hope they make it to the UK. Ideal shopping car
Not a bad car overall this one, apart from the ride which is the least impressive part. Everything else is pretty much all you'll need.
Is that 100 kay speed limit electronically limited, or the actual limit of the motor and batteries?
I've been sceptical of Chinese electric cars in Australia, but we've got Great Wall utes all over the flipping place, so I don't see why they wouldn't work.
Styling's not too bad. Like a Fiat 500 that spent too long in lockdown.
It's limited. No reason why it can't go more than that. No need to be sceptical, they're making some impressive stuff
@@InsideChinaAuto I was thinking more of the snobbery factor than the actual quality of the vehicle. I was thinking that maybe the Chinese should "badgineer" their cars to sell them under an established Western, Korean, or Japanese marque, but maybe they could go it alone, or at least under a name like Great Wall, which already has a solid presence. MG seem to be doing well here lately...
Hi from Canada.
Would buy it as a city commuter.
Hello to you too. It would be a fine thing to own for that purpose.
Philippines! Yes we need this
Good chance you'll get it I think.
If this car came to the UK there’s no way it would be £10k it would be at least double that. Just look at the Ora funky cat that recently arrived on our shores it’s ludicrously over priced!
A sad reality at the moment. Expect that to change at some point. At the moment the market is hot and choice is fairly low so prices are high
The Ora Cat is about £30,000 in my country in S. E. Asia. It's overpriced, yes. 🥶
Love it. But will never see one here in Canada.
Sadly you might be right, but let's see.
@@InsideChinaAuto With all the anti-chinese rhetoric going on these day here? Not happening. There is more and more economic sanctions being imposed on Chinese imports all the time. Our leaders are completely subservient to US interests.
Aerodynamics are quite good.
Should be, bit of a shapeless blob
I want one, but it will never work in NYC. I currently drive Honda Fit, Jazz for other folks. Problem with small cars is everyone drives a SUV or Truck. Its very dangerous in US lol. My next car probably be a truck myself for safety reason. I been driving small cars most of my life. But everyone else is driving something huge.
I feel for you. There's no need for all those trucks yet everyone there loves them. The world needs more small cars like this.
Need these desperately in the UK. EV's are stupidly way way overpriced. Cheapest EV fiat 500 £23000 cheapest ICE kia picanto under £12000
We definitely do.
can you close the side mirror with a button? or need to do manually with hands?
I think they're manual but not 100% certain from memory. Looking back at the video, I'd say manual but can't guarantee that.
@@InsideChinaAuto the car just pre launch yesterday in my country and its manual very sad
@@wall8350 Is it a deal breaker? What market are you in?
@@InsideChinaAuto indonesia, usually on that price range (22.500 USD) here in indonesia you got a button to do that, idk why they didnt make a button for that, it would be nice because if i park on the side road i dont need to flip it myself
@wall8350 Sure. Well it's a shame but maybe there's an aftermarket option or something. Companies do that kind of thing, right?
I’m waiting for the Wuling Bluey
No idea what that is but I'm sure it'll be great value.
I will buy one if they come to Australia.
Let's hope so.
People in the USA would never accept a 62mph vehicle as serious transportation.
They'd never accept anything without a flatbed and a bonnet line higher than a 10 year old's head, and that's the problem.
Rofl, people in USA need flatbeds to live in their car.
@@shadownoobnoobslayer5424 So faster cars means they need to be oversized and overweight?
We don’t have good public transportation system in US, our cars have to fulfill those long distance travel so cars need to be big to carry our overweight bodies, supersize stuff and a lot of horsepower to go fast and climb those hilly roads. I live in LA, nobody walks here, you will get robbed or shot walking on the wrong street, so driving a big fast car like a tank is a safety thing.
@ALWH1314 Not being funny but America sounds fucked.
If these cars are coming to EU at < 18 kEUR with accceptable quality and service, the European OEMs have to start a tough fight and change a lot in order to remain competitive.
They do, no doubt. Not sure if Wuling will ever get there but BYD already are and more are on the way.
Good Car and affordable
Very much so. It's a good price for what you get.
Pedals on the right side is actually quite welcome, because I don't see how you can operate brakes with you left foot. With only two pedals, you may think it is a good idea to move one to the left for your left foot, but it is not. If you want to know how it feels to operate with your brakes on the left, simply try to drive with your left foot hanging in the air.
Sure, but there's to the right and then there's really offset. If I commented on it here, it's probably because they're uncomfortably offset.
I love this car
Cool car indeed. Basic yes, but for the price it's pretty good.
In Indonesia , we have Wuling mini AirEV , special design for Indonesia market.
Nice. They make it there too, right? What did they change for Indonesia, do you know?
@@InsideChinaAuto , Yes , they have factory in Indonesia. One of favorite EV Cars in Indonesia. Review of Cars in Wheelsboy TH-cam Channel.
@zulazmimunir7937 Sure, I've seen the video and sat inside the one in the back of the Bingo video, but didn't drive one yet since it looks the same set up as the Wuling Mini actually, just a re-skin and more airbags.
@@InsideChinaAuto , it has feature of voice command in Indonesia language
It also have internet of vehicle feature , You can start car engine from aplication in your phonecell , everywhere in the world and have geofence feature which limit your car only in radius 5 or 10 kilometer , so your car can save when other people use it for long distance journey , there will be notification in your phone and can not start engine again after they shut down the motor engine.
Maybe I missed it but how tall are you for comparison?
Not something I normally put in my reviews to be fair but I'm 5'11.
Stupidly, I liked the fact that there's a white headlining. Hate the fashion for dark interiors at the moment. Great that the Chinese are leading the way in colourful interiors. Not seen in the UK since Eighties Vauxhalls!
Love a bright interior. Can't stand dark, not least for making it harder to film, but also because brighter is just more cheerful.
@@InsideChinaAuto We all need more cheerful stuff in the World! 👍
Is it ever going to come to U.S. markets.
I'd like to hope so at some point but the US doesn't seem too keen on letting Chinese cars in just yet.
If our Government (UK) was serious about the environment it would do all it can to flood the market with these cars but instead of a £8000 car the time they get to our market £8000 becomes £26000 +
Sad truths.
And then put the entire British motor industry onto furlough. Economic wizardry..and my question..does England need any more !
@adamanthony7465 Why not build them instead? We need to build stuff, we can't simply rely on a bunch of people in London moving numbers around on a screen until they have more zeros on the end of theirs.
Even Arnold Clark should be able to sell this for less than £30K in the UK
You'd hope so!
Hope it comes to Australia and NZ.
I hope so too.
This is real good. MG/Wuling should have brought this into Indian instead of the Wuling Air as the MG Comet. This would have been accepted more in India than the Wuling air. India is not ready for 2 door cars yet.
But this seems like a big car in terms length. The air is a bit overpriced in India.
If the Air is there, I'd say there's a decent chance the Bingo will make it at some point. Let's keep our eyes open.
Geely Panda? Stellantis' Fiat use that name plate on car since early 1980s.
Sure, but it didn't use the name 熊猫 and never sold in China so it's a moot point.
Any hope of coming to the uk ?
Nothing just yet, and honestly I wouldn't hold my breath, but never say never. It will go to right hand drive markets in Asia, the only question is qualifying for safety standards in Europe and I don't know yet if it does.
@@InsideChinaAuto American crash test standards are even tougher, will never be sold here
@fortheloveofnoise9298 Yeah, good luck getting these in America. Chances less than none I think.
Cute!
It is. Bit melted but cool.
Look great. As long as it doesnt go up in flames. Great shopping car.
Ideal for that. Wulings don't tend to have fire issues that I'm aware of.
Please tell if interface language can be changed to English?
I don't remember that it could on the car I drove but I think it will come with that option in other countries since their other cars sell abroad and they'll need it there.
@@InsideChinaAuto Thank You! i am an expat in China with close to none Chinese skills. so, when you make reviews, please also add this section please. The new hybrids are sweet.
@NasarKhan4U Usually, if it doesn't come built in it's to dissuade people from exporting them but you can fairly easily patch the software to have the English made available. There are guys on Taobao that do that stuff so shouldn't be an issue.
@@InsideChinaAuto Thank You for guidance. i will look for it.
Wuling Motors deserves my pride👍🏻
They do. Honestly one of the coolest brands there is.
Where we can buy this car here in the Philippines?
If it's not there already, I'd guess that it's not too far off being launched there. Give it a few months. If you get Wulings there now, I highly expect this will come too in the near future.
Be nice to see it arrive in the UK but it would need to hit at least 70MPH to be allowed on motorways. Guess that would mean it would be £15k with taxes …..but cute !
Not sure there's a requirement that it must do 70 for motorways since trucks are limited to 56
@@InsideChinaAuto good point but imagine being stuck in the slow lane with huge trucks running up your rear because you can’t go any faster !
@stevenbarrett7648 Not the most comfortable feeling, especially not in a Wuling. Many trucks do of course still go over 56.
This must be the way we should go if EVs are going to succeed. Smaller,lighter, practical.leases bigger car for longer trips that we would only need once a year. Or maybe not if charging points are as they should be.
Agree. Cities would be better off with these than SUVs of any kind
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks. It's the first time I ever won Bingo. 😆
Thanks. It's the first time I ever won Bingo. 😆
I would like to drive one...
Hopefully you get to at some point.
does asia have enough charging stations yet
Depends on the country in Asia. In China, very much so. Can't speak for other countries but I know India isn't too well set up yet from what locals have told me.
Would love a option of arm rest and rear wiper.
You'll have to add another ten grand for that. 😅
Great for a Londoner, or even a Glaswegian, but it’s not quite right for someone who wants a car for rushing around the country on holiday!!
True. If you're rushing on holiday though, you're not doing it right.
Looks way better than a Fiat or Cooper
Hmm. They say design is subjective. Think I prefer the 500 looks-wise but this isn't top bad.
At 9:44, is that a BYD Seagull following the Bingo?
No, that's an AION Y. Bit bigger than a Seagull, more like a mini MPV, but quite distinctive itself, and an EV. We have a review of the pre-facelift version.
It's a GAC AION
@@InsideChinaAuto good sales too... after Mini, the 2 Teslas, and some BYDs, it got the 10th. place.
@johnsmith-cw3wo They do quite well as ride hailing cars here but I see plenty of them. Just wish it was as smart as an original Renault Scenic in terms of making use of every space available. That's the imagination I want to see on cars like this.
aion y 一辆suv 价格是bingo的两倍
It's already here in the PH.
Awesome. How is it doing?
At last there is some practicality for an everyday car for local driving etc.......I doubt this model will get down to OZ anytime this century.........I can't imagine a sudden flood of these imports and no charging system, plus the economy would take a nose dive with the dollars flooding out of the country......now if it came with right hand drive it might be a winner here.
I wouldn't rule it out. It might go RHD to Thailand and Indonesia and Malaysia so the option is there if they're ready to go abroad.
Need it in Canada please😊
I'll ask Wuling to consider it.
@@InsideChinaAuto Pleas ask for New Zealand as well
@@dicky-duck6632 Sure thing.
Pretty car for the African urban drivers... Bring it on.
Have a feeling it'll come to Africa so let's hope so.
Can we have it in USA ? We are selling tesla in china. So what is the problem?
Because cars of this price don't make enough money for the American government I believe and they don't want you paying the Chinese. Plus they don't like competition. So many Americans in the comments are asking for this and the Geely Panda Mini and only their government is stopping them from being able to have them.
This car would be perfect in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. I never drive faster than 45mph or more than 60 miles per day.
Edit: The speed limit is 35mph and I usually drive about 10 miles per day.
Does sound like the ideal car. How's the road quality though?
@@InsideChinaAuto We have our share of potholes, but it's not horrible. The Suzuki Forsa was popular here back in the 80's and 90's and the Toyota Yaris is popular now. How does the Bingo compare? Sounds like it's a similar size.
@saxyvi I'd say it's pretty similar in size to both of those without comparing the figures side by side. Suspension is probably the weakest part of it, felt a bit firm, that's why I asked. Hopefully it gets to the Virgin Islands.
@@InsideChinaAuto Sadly, the Bingo probably won't get here. The Virgin Islands is part of the United States and gets what the US gets. We are being inundated with crossovers, Broncos, and Wranglers even though most people do not need 4x4 capability.
@saxyvi Sounds about right. Apparently we don't need our planet.
Hope this car was in the US to get one for my daughter
Afraid you'll be out of luck on that one but an importer might be able to help.
I want one
Funky, right?
Providing i could fit m 6´2" body into it, I´d be this car on the spot for that price.
You'd be OK in this I think, maybe not 100% comfortable for a long time but alright for the main uses of this.
I dont know why but It looks like a bit like the Fiat 500L mixed with a new Mini Cooper. While the interior looks like a mix of a 2015 Fiat 500 and a Ora funky cat
Bit of this, bit of that. It's an eclectic mix.
Looks like a Vauxhall Adam with a bit of Suzuki swift at the back
Not the best looking car in the world, but it sounds like a practical proposition!!
That's basically it, cheap and cheerful, will do the job.
I commend you for doing a good job by converting those unit in metric. . I appreciate even to hp.. unlike other they just bla bla bla they dont care of other people as long as they make a video. But please dont use mm for a nonsense wheelbase. Too small to use for such a length. Cm or meter would be better, or inch.
Sure. It's just that generally they're dictated in mm but I'll aim for metres.
@@InsideChinaAuto yeah i hate reading it. Anyway you point as cm then its still good tnx.
South Africa please
Think there's a decent chance of that. Do you have Wuling there already?
Nothing about safety features? Airbags, side impact crash tests? Battery cycle life? Service networks, repair costs, insurance? Is this destined for the junkyard at 10k miles?
Definitely a few airbags, but I don't have any crash test data for this car yet. Not old enough for battery cycle info. Service networks really depend on where you buy it, I can't give you that for every country. And no, not likely in the bin in 10k unless you're not a great driver and end up there.
Please export this to Denmark!
I'll let them know you want them.
Philippines thats good news
Yeah, no guarantees but I suspect it will.
Ontario Canada please.
I'll tell Wuling you're interested
THis is best for indian streets , and probably also in europe, coz they have Narrow Alleys
I mean WTH you gonna do with a HUGE SUV.... (SUV buying is basically Ego buying in india ....
_(our population loves to look down and press each other even on roads)_
Hopefully they're not too bumpy as the ride is probably the weakest part but yes, ideal if you need small and nippy with enough room inside.
ถ้าเพิ่มที่ปัดานำ้ฝนหลัง,แอร์หลัง,ที่เท้าแขนเบาะหลัง,ก็โอเคเลย,ชนะทุกแบร์ด,ที่ขายอยู่,
Add a couple grand I'm sure they'll give you all those
At £10k with over 200 range......its a no brainer
Seems so, right?
in the UK it will cost at least £20k
Quite likely, sadly.
Are these the cars that keep catching fire in China ?
They are not. I haven't seen any incidents of Wulings catching fire.
@@InsideChinaAuto thank you.
I want that car 🚗 in America 🇺🇸
It seems a lot of people in the US want these small cars but nobody is interested in government is interested in letting you have them. I heard even the Volt is being stopped. Sad.

Good to know, thanks for the info.
