More about the Wuling Bingo SUV
The Wulin Bingo SUV is built on the same platform as the Bingo Plus: the Tianyu M modular architecture, which is suitable for EVs with body lengths between 3500 and 4600mm. From the exterior styling, it’s immediately clear that the car is part of the Bingo series. The Bingo SUV features oval headlights, a minimalist front bumper and a sleek body shape.

Cuteness aside, the Bingo SUV looks big thanks to its high beltline and small R15 wheels. However, the black pillars, roof and side mirrors give it a bit of a cool look. The Bingo SUV is available in four colors: white, red, grey and green. Its dimensions are 4090/1720/1575mm and it has a wheelbase of 2610mm. In other words, it’s a compact crossover that’s perfect for city commutes.
Regardless of the dimensions, the interior of the Bingo SUV will amaze you with its features. There are 23 storage spaces throughout the cabin. Passengers in the second row have up to 882mm of legroom. If you want to store even more things inside the car, you can fold down the second row seats to increase the trunk volume to 1,450 litres.
Of course, there are drawbacks. The Bingo SUV has no front trunk, no armrest or center headrest in the second row, and the cute crossover has a touchscreen with Ling OS in the center console. It also has four airbags.
