Verdict
At RM33,900 versus RM67,800, the Axia leaves a RM33,900 gap in a Malaysian buyer’s budget and brings five seats in a 3,760 mm body. The Bingo uses that extra spend for a 31.9 kWh battery, 273 km quoted range and 150 Nm motor torque, plus a 395-litre boot and substantially broader airbag coverage. Its 7 kW AC and 50 kW DC charging also make the EV proposition more usable. But the Bingo is a four-seater; the Axia remains the simpler choice for carrying five people.
Pick the Perodua Axia if RM33,900 savings, five seats and a shorter 3,760 mm hatchback matter more than EV range and equipment.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if you want 273 km EV range, 150 Nm, a 395-litre boot and six-airbag coverage, and can accept four seats.
