Elliot takes a spin in the new Wuling Bingo: the latest small, affordable electric car from the company behind the adorable Mini EV. But while the Mini was a hit in China only, this slightly bigger brother has its sights firmly set on the Western market too - could this be the simple, small, affordable EV we've been impatiently waiting for?

If that car went on sale at the UK price shown (circa £7K) not only would it sell like hotcakes, but it would be a real kick up the backside of legacy auto makers and completely disrupt the way we buy cars. Unfortunately, like most of the Chinese EVs that make it over here, it will double in price. But even so, at £14K, it would probably still sell well.

@davidcolin6519 Год назад

There is no way that it will sell at that price though, is there? It is more likely to sell at about double that price, which puts it head to head with some of the cheapest (and slowest) ICEs on the UK market. That would still make it an interesting alternative, although I don't think it would have any of the safety features that the legacy makers would include. OTOH, a BEV for 14K is still interesting.

@GlaucusBlue Год назад

it wont be, like every cheap chinese car that has come to the western world, it will be sold at western prices, and at that point why trust/buy a cheap chinese car.

Drive carefully!

@paulsmakingmovies1451 Год назад

I wish most electric car makers would use a simplified tech approach like this car. Simple buttons for climate and screen for rest. We dont need super high tech features just better value cars that ordinary people can afford. Looks like a great small car. Now midsized car makers please replicate.

@ramblerandy2397 Год назад

That price is jaw dropping. Honestly, I'd buy one tomorrow for that. But you can at least double it, if it comes to the UK. That's still pretty good. I'd like the top speed to get to a shade over 70mph in all conditions, and I'm 100% sure that's doable. There will always be that odd occasion where a quick spurt down the bypass is required, and I've little doubt that little electric drive unit is just software limited, so pump it up to 75mph please, and we'll call it a day. 👍

@waqasahmed939 Год назад

Definitely. I think that's my big gripe with this car too. I don't exactly plan on getting from 0 to 60 in two seconds when I live in a cul de sac Essentially, I currently have a Toyota Yaris and if there's an electric equivalent of that, then that's perfect for me. It does however need to get to say 75Mph as you say. A top speed of less than that is a deal breaker imo

This car reminds me of when the mini first came out. Every on was saying it was too small, not enough instruments and it had an E/W engine. Look at it's history of sales. Granted the average height was sorter then than now, but outside of the big cities the average drive is 60M/100Km. But in country's with narrow roads and hilly country side it is perfect.

@vincentrobinet2713 Год назад

It's refreshing to see a basic car in the electric range that doesn't have wild performance or an electric hatch back. I hope all EV manufacturers get around to giving consumers an economical choice in their lineups. Perhaps Wuling could keep the game name theme going and call their large offering the Yahtzee!

@peteinwisconsin2496 Год назад

I agree that plain and simple transportation is what a lot of people need. If the auto makers can not compete on the basis of performance and features, then they must compete on the basis of price. Really, none of the legacy auto makers can compete on price alone. They will be out of business in a decade or less if they try. Might be gone in less than a decade anyways.

Nice looking little vehicle - thank you Elliot. It was good to meet you (very briefly) at Fully Charged Sydney in March. The point about public transport is well made, however if you are running two small kids around to kinder/school etc and running errands as well, the Bingo would be just the ticket I think. Add workable V2H and I would buy one tomorrow. If they were available in Australia, which I am not holding my breath for.

@EugeneLambert Год назад

I used to have a Skoda CITIGOe (EV) and it was brilliant, not as a city car, but as a Lake District runaround. All those narrow roads and small parking places. If this car can be sold much cheaper than European 'city car' equivalents, then it should sell like hot cakes. Small EVs make a lot of sense for a lot of people, and not just in cities!

@toyotaprius79 Год назад

As someone from Ireland - why does the rest of the EU get the good stuff and we just get the more expensive crap? It's not because the Skoda Citigo EV wasn't unaffordable to build RightHandDrive, it's more for the healthier profit from the eUP which lists for €27,000

@sharonec5419 Год назад

@@toyotaprius79 I would say it's more because we have a small population and are an island nation. It just makes things more expensive to get here.

I think it is not only a good City car but also for anyone living out in the countryside where the roads can be narrow and you can't really speed. I get the top speed is on the low side, but lots of people on motorways don't blast along at high speeds. I had a Ford Ka or two and now have an electric car. I like this.

@Rothryn Год назад

US and EU manufacturers need to go after this asap. The second an actually reasonably cheap EV releases over here, people will gobble them up like nobody's business. But of course the companies still wanna sell their cheap gas cars while they can and in the mean time wanna profit off of the more highly priced EVs. I just hope they don't get absolutely left behind, because of short sighted profit oriented decisions.

@@mbak7801 It's a truism of economics that something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. If the Wuling Bingo & BYD Seagull were put on sale in the UK at the same price as say an MG4 (£25k-ish?), then no-one in their right mind would buy them! I'm sure Wuling & BYD know this. If they want to succeed & sell millions of these cars globally, they will need to be priced realistically. I'd pay £10k. I'd not pay £15k. If BYD & Wuling can turn a profit at £10k (and they probably can), they'll go for it.

This car looks to be a perfect successor to my beloved 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV (which I still own and, conceivably, will be happily driving for at least a few more years,) but with a bigger battery on the upper trim level variant. If it's LFP chemistry, I'd say "bingo!" again. Same ~100" wheelbase as the i-MiEV, same 4-door w/ hatch form factor and same no frills approach to interior accommodations. Yeah . . . bingo! GM (I hope you're listening). . . with your business relationship with Wuling, you could bring this car to the US. Do what you need to do to "Americanize" it . . . and I don't mean install a gun rack, mud flaps, jacked suspension and knobby tires in an attempt to make it into a micro SUV that everyone will hate. No, I mean set up a factory somewhere on the North American continent and study the ever-evolving implementation of the IRA in regards to raw materials sourcing, ect. Re-badge it (revive the Saturn nameplate?,) if needed and get this thing into consumer hands for around $20K. Do I need to say it again? Bingo!

Add regen braking, a slightly beefier motor so it can cruise at at least 80mph, and a single usb charger for a phone. Then it could work as a proper city car in the US/EU metro areas imho. Even a "city" car needs to get on a highway every once in a while. Oh, and does it have any airbags? That could be a challenge for those markets if not. Otherwise not a bad concept to build on.

He said its intended for global markets, that means it has to meet homologation standards. The big tires, long hood, wide interior, and big fat bumper areas all speak to meeting crash standards. The big round empty area in the center of the steering wheel, the empty flat section on the right of the dash, and the wide A and B pillars all look like they could conceal airbags. And Im sure regen comes standard, I havnt heard of any modern EVs that dont?
