Verdict
At RM88,000, the Toyota Yaris costs RM20,200 more than the RM67,800 Wuling Bingo, but it is the more rounded five-seat hatchback for a family. Its 105 hp petrol engine, seven airbags, blind-spot monitoring and pre-collision braking give it clear advantages in performance and active safety. The Bingo answers with a 31.9 kWh battery, 273 km EV range, RM20 annual road tax and a 395-litre boot. It is cheaper to tax and roomier for luggage, but its four-seat layout and six airbags narrow its appeal.
Pick the Toyota Yaris if you need five seats and want 105 hp, seven airbags, blind-spot monitoring and pre-collision braking.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if a RM20,200 lower entry price, 273 km EV range, RM20 road tax and a 395-litre boot matter more than a fifth seat.
