Verdict
At RM68,900, the seven-seat Perodua Aruz costs RM1,100 more than the RM67,800 Wuling Bingo, yet serves a very different Malaysian household. The Aruz brings two extra seats, rear air-con vents, a 2,685 mm wheelbase and 5-star ASEAN NCAP certification. The Bingo counters with EV running, a 31.9 kWh battery rated for 273 km, 7 kW AC and 50 kW DC charging, plus a far larger 395-litre boot. Choose by use case, not the small price gap.
Pick the Perodua Aruz if you need seven seats, rear air-con and a full-size spare tyre for family duty.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if four seats are enough and you want a 273 km EV range with 50 kW DC charging.
