The Binguo EV is now available in four variants in China with a starting price of RMB 56,800 ($7,810).

SAIC-GM-Wuling has launched the Binguo EV in Thailand, as Chinese automakers look to get a piece of the Southeast Asian auto market.

The Wuling Binguo EV was launched in Thailand on July 8 and became the new model offered locally by Wuling after the one-year anniversary of the Air EV's launch in Thailand, the company announced today.

Wuling is offering 2 versions of the Binguo EV locally with starting prices of 419,000 baht ($11,510) and 449,000 baht respectively.

The Binguo EV was initially launched in China on March 28, 2023, and the 2024 model currently on sale is offered in 4 versions with starting prices of RMB 56,800 ($7,810), RMB 70,800, RMB 74,800, RMB 84,800 respectively.

The model is available in China with one option with a range of 203 kilometers, one with 410 kilometers, and two with 333 kilometers.

The two variants of the Binguo EV available in Thailand both have a range of 333 kilometers.

The launch of the Binguo EV in Thailand marks the acceleration of Wuling's globalization, the company said.

SAIC-GM-Wuling's presence now covers more than 40 countries and regions, with cumulative exports exceeding 1 million units, the company said.

In January-May 2024, Wuling's market share of electric vehicles in Indonesia exceeded 50 percent, the top market share for three consecutive years, it said.

SAIC-GM-Wuling, a joint venture between SAIC, GM and Liuzhou Wuling Automobile, is headquartered in Liuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, in southwestern China.

It sells vehicles built on the GSEV (Global Small Electric Vehicle) architecture in China, including the Mini EV, KiWi EV, Nano EV, and Air EV.
