Verdict
At RM59,800 versus RM67,800, the Proton eMas 5 is RM8,000 cheaper yet gets five seats, 77 hp and a six-year warranty. It is also the larger car, with a 2,650 mm wheelbase against the Wuling Bingo’s 2,560 mm. The Wuling answers with 273 km of range, a 31.9 kWh battery and a bigger 395-litre boot, so the choice is not one-way traffic. For a Malaysian buyer, the Proton looks the more practical family buy; the Wuling suits range-first urban use.
Pick the Proton eMas 5 if you want the lower entry price, five seats, more power and the longer warranty.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if 273 km of EV range and a 395-litre boot matter more than having five seats.
