The Wuling Binguo Plus (Chinese: 五菱宾果Plus), commonly mentioned in English sources as the Wuling Bingo Plus, is a battery electric subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) since 2024 under the Wuling brand.

Overview[edit]

Following the success with the Binguo hatchback, there had been a growing demand for electric vehicles with extended range capabilities combined with the need for a spacious interior and enhanced performance. Therefore, Wuling developed the Binguo Plus to meet these consumer demands.[1] The Binguo Plus went on sale in China on 6 March 2024 with two variants.[2]

The exterior design of the Binguo Plus takes on modern aesthetics with muscular design cues and fewer rounded design elements, compared to the Binguo hatchback. The front has a less rounded headlight design, blade-style front air outlets, and a high-angled windscreen. The side has aluminium aerodynamic alloy wheels and kink in window line that emphasises the dual-tone exterior colour. The rear has a miminalistic approach like the Binguo hatchback, however the Plus model features combination LED taillights. Consumers have the option of three exterior colours: Aurora Green, Storm Gray and Quantum Black.[1]

The interior of the Binguo Plus takes on a minimalistic approach, with the dashboard adopting a floating island double-layer design. The dashboard features are two LCD screens that are separated opposed to being merged. The interior adopts a 360-degree skin-friendly soft package design with seats made from faux suede. Consumers have the option of two interior colours: Sky Green and Warm Sand White.[1]

Thanks to the use of Wuling's wide-adapted pure electric space platform, it has the longest wheelbase in its class at 2610mm and provides a 912mm long second-row seat spacing and a knee-to-knee distance of 89mm. The boot space stands at 1,450 L (51 cu ft) with rear seats are folded down. Inside, there are up to 23 user-friendly storage spaces.[1]

Specifications[edit]

The Binguo Plus is equipped with a 75 kW (101 hp; 102 PS) 3-in-1 water-cooled flat wire single electric motor produces a maximum torque of 180 Nm (133 lb ft). There are two range options: 401 km and 510 km. There are three charging modes which includes fast DC charging, from 30 - 80% capacity in 30–35 minutes.[3][4]

The Binguo Plus is equipped with a thermal management system and smart energy management technology, this means it claims to achieve an estimated range of 10.1-10.6 km per kWh.[1]
