Verdict
The RM20,200 cheaper Wuling Bingo makes a persuasive urban EV case: its 31.9-kWh battery gives a claimed 273 km range, and 7-kW AC or 50-kW DC charging opens up lower running-cost motoring. It also carries 395 litres of luggage versus the Yaris’ 286 litres. But the Toyota Yaris is the more complete all-rounder for a five-person household, with 105 hp, seven airbags, blind-spot monitoring and pre-collision braking. Its 42-litre petrol tank also removes charging planning from longer trips.
The Yaris 1.5 G (RM91,600) sits above every Bingo variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
Pick the Toyota Yaris if you need five seats, 105 hp and the added reassurance of seven airbags, blind-spot monitoring and pre-collision braking.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if RM67,800, 273 km of EV range and a 395-litre boot matter more than a fifth seat and active safety aids.
