Verdict
At RM59,800, the Proton eMas 5 undercuts the Wuling Bingo by RM8,000 while bringing five seats, a 77 hp rear motor, 375-litre boot and 3.3 kW V2L. Its 225 km range is the catch: the Bingo reaches 273 km from a 31.9 kWh battery, versus 30.12 kWh, and has a slightly larger 395-litre boot. The Proton is also 185 mm longer with a 90 mm longer wheelbase, rear air-con vents and blind-spot information. Choose the Wuling only if its extra 48 km of stated range matters more than the fifth seat and lower entry price.
Pick the Proton eMas 5 if you need five seats, rear air-con vents, V2L and a lower RM59,800 entry price.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if you can live with four seats and want its 273 km range, 395-litre boot and 150 Nm motor torque.
