Wuling Light of ASEAN on display at MAS 2025 – concept with gullwing doors inspired by fighter jets

This is the Light of ASEAN, a concept vehicle born from the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture that made its debut at the last year’s China-ASEAN Expo and is currently on display at the ongoing Malaysia Autoshow (MAS 2025).

The Light of ASEAN is said to be inspired by fighter jets and features a striking design with plenty of shape angles and smooth surfacing. Standout cues worth highlighting include the unique “cross-star cone” face as well as the attention-grabbing gullwing doors.

You’ll also notice the side cameras that visually extend from the A-pillar to the bonnet as well as the floating rear wing/buttresses, both of which contribute to an ultra-low drag coefficient of just 0.18.

On the inside, there are hydraulically balanced zero-gravity aviation seats, a yoke steering wheel and a borderless screen that features in-cell and low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) technology. The company notes that the cabin also gets eye-tracking technology, “jet-like controls,” along with an immersive sound field.

The concept will likely not make production and merely serves to carry Wuling’s vision of “deepening its roots in ASEAN, radiating globally and making the world fall in love with Wuling’s new energy,” as the company notes in its release. This push into ASEAN – referred to as the ‘One, Two Three ASEAN strategy’ – has already begun, as the brand already has a presence in Thailand and Indonesia. Malaysia has also welcomed Wuling, with the Bingo EV set to go on sale soon.

    Inspire from which fighter jet?
    Certainly does not look like anything inside PLAAF inventory.
