Verdict

The Toyota Yaris costs RM88,000, RM20,200 more than the Wuling Bingo at RM67,800, but brings 105 hp, five seats and Toyota Safety Sense items including pre-collision braking, blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera. The Bingo counters with electric running, RM20 annual road tax against RM90, a 31.9-kWh battery rated for 273 km, and a much larger 395-litre boot. Its 67-hp motor has the same 150 Nm torque as the Yaris, but the four-seat cabin is a real limitation for families.

Yaris

Pick the Toyota Yaris if you need five seats, 105 hp and its pre-collision braking, blind-spot monitoring and 360-degree camera.

Bingo

Pick the Wuling Bingo if a RM20,200 lower entry price, 273 km EV range and a 395-litre boot matter more than a fifth seat.
