Verdict
The Proton eMas 5 is RM8,000 cheaper and brings 77 hp, five seats and a 2,650-mm wheelbase, so it is the more useful choice for carrying people. Its 3.3-kW V2L outlet, rear air-con vents and 14.6-inch screen also make daily use less bare. The Wuling Bingo fights back with a 273-km range versus 225 km, plus a 395-litre boot against 375 litres. For Malaysian buyers who prioritise fewer charging stops and carry four people, the Bingo’s extra 48 km is meaningful; families needing a fifth seat should take the Proton.
Pick the Proton eMas 5 if you need five seats, stronger 77-hp output, V2L and a lower entry price.
Pick the Wuling Bingo if a 273-km range, 395-litre boot and convenience items such as LED projector headlamps matter more than a fifth seat.
