Verdict
At RM38,600, the Axia leaves RM29,200 in your pocket against the RM67,800 Bingo and carries five rather than four people. The Wuling answers with a 31.9-kWh battery, 273-km range and 150 Nm motor torque, versus the Axia’s 91 Nm 998-cc petrol engine. Its 395-litre boot is 130 litres larger, and it adds side and curtain airbags, LED projector lamps and a reverse camera. The Axia is 190 mm shorter, which helps in tight spaces, but its two airbags and 265-litre boot show where the saving lands.
Pick the Perodua Axia if RM29,200 less upfront cost, five seats and a shorter 3,760-mm body matter more than EV range and extra equipment.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if you want a 273-km EV, 150 Nm of motor torque, a 395-litre boot and substantially fuller safety and convenience kit.
