Verdict
The Perodua Ativa costs RM62,500, RM5,300 below the Wuling Bingo, and remains the more practical five-seater with a 369-litre boot, 16-inch alloys and a 996 cc turbo petrol engine rated at 97 hp and 140 Nm. Its 5.3 L/100 km rating and 36-litre tank suit buyers who need quick refuelling. The Bingo trades one seat for electric running: its 67 hp, 150 Nm motor draws from a 31.9 kWh battery rated for 273 km, while its 395-litre boot and 2,560 mm wheelbase help its case. Safety assistance favours the Ativa decisively.
Pick the Perodua Ativa if you need five seats, autonomous braking with pedestrian detection and lane-keeping assist for less money.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if a 273 km electric range, 50 kW DC charging and a larger 395-litre boot matter more than a fifth seat.
