Perodua Alza vs Wuling Bingo
Verdict
The Perodua Alza is the family answer: RM62,500 buys seven seats, a 1.5 litre petrol engine with 105 hp and 138 Nm, AEB, six airbags and a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating. The Wuling Bingo asks RM67,800 and is a very different thing, with four seats, a 67 hp electric motor, a 31.9 kWh battery and 273 km of range. It is shorter and easier to place, and its 395 litre boot beats the Alza’s 137 litres, but it cannot match the Perodua’s people-carrying brief.
Pick the Perodua Alza if you need seven seats, petrol convenience and the stronger on-paper safety case.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if your use is mainly urban, four seats are enough and you want EV running with RM20 annual road tax.

Alza vs Bingo FAQ
Is the Perodua Alza or Wuling Bingo better?
The Perodua Alza is better for family use because it has seven seats, AEB and a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating. The Wuling Bingo is better for urban EV use if four seats and 273 km of range suit your routine.
What is the price difference?
The Wuling Bingo costs RM5,300 more than the Perodua Alza. That extra spend gets an electric motor, 31.9 kWh battery and 273 km EV range, but you give up three seats.
Which has more boot space?
The Wuling Bingo has the larger boot at 395 litres, versus 137 litres in the Perodua Alza. The Alza counters with seven-seat capacity, so it is the better people carrier.
