Verdict
The Wuling Bingo is RM5,100 cheaper, and its 31.9-kWh battery delivers a stated 273 km range with 7 kW AC and 50 kW DC charging. It also has a much larger 395-litre boot than the Aruz’s 213 litres. The Aruz answers with seven seats, a 101-hp/133-Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine and rear air vents, where the Bingo is a four-seater EV. For a Malaysian buyer carrying more than four people, the Aruz is the practical choice; for four occupants with charging access, the Bingo’s lower road tax and larger boot are hard to ignore.
Pick the Perodua Aruz if you need seven seats, rear air vents and a full-size 17-inch alloy spare wheel.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if four seats are enough and you want a 273-km EV range, 395-litre boot and 50-kW DC charging.
