Verdict
The Ativa at RM62,500 costs RM5,300 less than the RM67,800 Bingo, and it is the clearer choice for a five-person household: it has five seats, 97 hp and 369 litres of boot space. The Bingo trades one seating position for a 31.9-kWh battery and 273 km of EV range. Its 395-litre boot and 2,560-mm wheelbase are useful gains, while 50-kW DC charging matters if public charging fits your routine. Pick the Ativa if you cannot routinely charge at home or work.
Pick the Perodua Ativa if you need five seats, stronger 97-hp output and autonomous braking with pedestrian detection.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if a 273-km EV range, 395-litre boot and 50-kW DC charging suit your charging access.
