Verdict
At RM59,800, the Proton eMas 5 undercuts the RM67,800 Wuling Bingo by RM8,000 while bringing five seats, a 2,650 mm wheelbase and 3.3 kW vehicle-to-load capability. Its 77 hp motor, 53 kW DC charging and multi-link rear suspension also give it a stronger on-paper brief. The Bingo counters with 273 km of range from its 31.9 kWh battery, against 225 km and 30.12 kWh, plus a 395-litre boot. For a Malaysian buyer carrying four people and chasing distance between charges, the Wuling has a clear case; otherwise, the Proton gives more car for less money.
Pick the Proton eMas 5 if you need five seats, want to spend RM8,000 less and value V2L, a longer wheelbase and 53 kW DC charging.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if its 273 km range and 395-litre boot matter more than a fifth seat, V2L and the lower purchase price.
