In terms of dimensions, the Bingo Plus measures 4090 mm in length, 1720 mm in width, and 1575 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610 mm. Notable design choices include the absence of a traditional radiator grille and the application of black protective elements around the wheel arches, along the sills, and on the bumpers. The vehicle features round projector-type headlights, five-spoke wheels, and a two-tone paint scheme. The interior remains undisclosed at this stage. [citation: carnewschina.com]
Early assumptions suggest the Bingo Plus could be powered by a single electric motor delivering about 102 horsepower, with an estimated driving range of around 400 km on a full charge. This aligns with Wuling’s push into compact electric crossovers designed for urban and suburban use, pairing simple packaging with an efficient electric drivetrain. [citation: carnewschina.com]
