Verdict

At RM83,888, the Almera costs RM16,088 more than the RM67,800 Bingo, but brings five seats, a 482-litre boot and 99 hp/152 Nm turbo petrol power. The four-seat electric hatch counters with 67 hp/150 Nm, a 31.9-kWh battery, 273 km stated range and 50-kW DC charging. Its six airbags and reverse camera are meaningful gains; the Nissan answers with autonomous braking and collision warning. Choose based on charging access and passenger or luggage needs, not claimed performance: torque is virtually level.

Almera

Pick the Nissan Almera if you need five seats, a 482-litre boot and autonomous braking for regular family use.

Bingo

Pick the Wuling Bingo if home or destination charging suits your routine and you want EV running without giving up six airbags and a reverse camera.
