The Wuling Binguo is a zero-emission urban runabout that is priced from 59,800 yuan to 838,000 yuan in China. With such an affordable price, the cute hatchback has grabbed much attention in one of the most competitive NEV markets in the world.

The Binguo EV vies with the BYD Seagull, which is the small-sized all-electric car put onto the market by BYD in late Apr. The latter features a price range of 73,800 yuan to 89,800 yuan.

Coming with five trim levels, the Wuling Binguo measures 3,950mm long, 1,708mm wide, and 1,580mm tall, with a wheelbase that spans 2,560mm.

Inside, the Wuling Binguo has four seats wrapped by faux leather and a dual-screen setup on the dashboard, which is composed of a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment screen.

SGMW offers the Binguo in two RWD versions, whose electric motor is good for 30kW and 50kW, respectively. Both of them support fast and slow charging modes.
