New larger electric SUV from Wuling will be sold in international markets and features a spacious and upmarket interior.
Wuling has released an official video of its upcoming Bingo S electric hatchback as it seeks to reclaim the crown of China’s best-selling EV from the Geely Xingyuan.
The Xingyuan has been the success story of 2025 so far, even outpacing the BYD Seagull, but ‘compact’ electric cars are Wuling’s bread and butter and they fancy a slice of the pie.
Despite sharing its name with Wuling’s smaller Bingo hatchback, the S is quite a big larger at 4,265mm long, making it longer than the Xingyuan but marginally shorter than the BYD Dolphin, and taller than even a Nissan Juke.
An official launch is expected at this month’s Chengdu Auto Show with the new model likely to get a maximum range in excess of 500km.
Inside the Bingo S gets an almost scaled down version of the Baojun Cloud’s interior, with a stepped design dashboard featuring horizontal lines, chrome trim, and circular speakers, as well as a roughly 13-inch central screen.
A letterbox-shaped driver’s information display is built into a protruding element behind the steering wheel, while the wheel itself will be familiar to Wuling owners, bearing as it does the same design as almost every other Wuling compact car.
The car in the video features a two-tone design with a dark upper level and lighter lower portion, which includes stitched synthetic leather and likely fake wood elements to give the car a more premium ambience.
The Bingo S looks set to get around eight speakers, a vented wireless charger, and plenty of storage elements throughout for phones, bags, and drinks.
Stylish one-piece front seats bearing a chrome ‘Bingo’ logo and integrated headrests look set to get heating but not ventilation functions, but nevertheless look reasonably supportive.
A central storage cubby between the seats adds to the overall practicality, as do USB-A and USB-C sockets under the centre console, but there’s no room for a panoramic roof or even a sunroof, at least on the car shown.
Wuling look keen to emphasise the useful storage space of the Bingo S with the video showing a large two-layer boot floor with a large space underneath, similar to that on the standard Bingo.
With the rear seats folded down, Wuling claims as much as 1,450-litres of space, more than the Xingyuan’s 1,320 litres and the Nissan Juke’s 1,305, suggesting it’s quite space efficient.
With such a large boot space, it’s clear that the Bingo S will be a front-driven model with the likely drivetrain expected to be the same 100kW electric motor from the slightly larger Baojun Cloud.
Batteries will likely start from around 50kWh in size, with Baojun’s Yunhai SUV, which is somewhat larger, offering 56.7kWh and 69.2kWh variants for 500 and 600km of range respectively.
The Bingo S gets a sharper design language than we’ve seen Wuling of late, with a pointy nose, blacked out roof and A-pillars, and a shark fin C-pillar.
There’s a full-width light bar across the rear, and we know that wheels will come in 16-inch options, but the key point is the silver Wuling logo, which means the Bingo S will go to international markets.
