The button bellow the parking brake is The Auto Hold Brake feature. In order to activate it you must use your Seatbelt first then press it. Just like the one in Air EV
thtas best coment so far
I just spoke to an owner of a Leap T03 in Belgium. I must say , the Euro version has been upgraded. It had a 41 Kwh battery & a 81 kw motor compared to the 55 in China. She mentioned being able to do almost 250 km in a mixed drive (200 km highway). She also said to be very happy with the purchase overall. She paid 21.700 Euros. Apparantly only 1500 T03 will be produced for the EU market & only in top version w/ 1 option : metalic paint .
Wait, euro version? How could it be anything such this as Leapmotor isn't oficially selling cars in Europe?
Was she hot?
That's what's expected of a Ford Fiesta
21700 euros is enough for leap c01 in China, poor foreigners
@@snakeheartss3375 In China the base version with 75 hp & 37kWh battery costs 9.340 Euro , while the top version floats under 11K.
The problem with exporting to e.g. Europe is that once they add the required safety features and the import tax it would cost close to or more than a Dacia Spring.
Thats the exact comment i wrote just now... i should have looked below xD ... in general they are 10-15k more here...
If you think for one second that the Chinese are not willing and able to start producing these in other countries to avoid import tariffs? You are sadly mistaken. Airbags etc are cheap these days. Crash worthiness is a matter of materials and design, not accessories.
@@davefroman4700 I'm sure they're willing to do that, but with the higher labour costs that will make the price of these cars way higher. Also, setting up a factory in e.g. Europe is not going to be quick.
@@willemm Wages in China have tripled in the last 10 years. That is how their internal economy grew so fast and they became the largest automotive market in the world because people could AFFORD a car. The days of cheap labor in China are gone. Mexico is cheaper than China now. Keeping wages low is what is killing western economies.
@@davefroman4700 it's not that they are not willing to, it's that they cannot. If they do that and start producing Sub $12000 EVs in the EU or US, all the local car companies as well as blood thirsty politicians and lying propagandish media will come together and make sure they gtfo of the country and not getting a penny of their investment back.
This is a most practical EV choice for driving around town. At this price point and size, perfect for city dwellers. Not too bad looking either.
nice step up from the Mini EV. if you're in a high end city, you won't be embarrassed driving this car unlike Mini EV. BYD is slowly gaining more presence in our country, I've seen two since and one just drove in front of our house but Wuling's cars better sold in Southeast Asia.
BYD Seagull is even more advanced than the Wuling Bingo actually, just does not have quite as much storage in the back. Overall I think the Seagull is the more superior vehicle compared to the Bingo. Baojun Yep is cooler than both though.
Its going to be important in developing countries markets, just like the Air. Places like Indonesia, Thailand and the Philiphines. Eventhough they haven't announced they will be exporting it yet
Agreed, it seems like a safe bet that it will be exported or built abroad for other others.
IIRC in Indonesia, Wuling registered a patent for the Bingo
Just bought one here in Bali, thanks for the vid, got me over the line instead of buying a Honda Brio. Price in Indonesia is about $20.000, did a test drive today, it is perfect for the small roads here!@@kannvess
We have Wuling heerreeeeeee already
In Australia a powerpack of 9.6kwh (Tesla Power Wall) alone costs around USD $10k. With a little more money, you get an EV that has more than 30kwh of power 🤨🤨🤨 🤯🤯🤯
😂
Would be nice to see an architectural teardown. What type of suspensions are used, how are they tuned etc etc.
Bring it to Europe at 15-20k inc VAT and we will buy it with incentives of €3-5k for unlimited amounts!
No we won’t. A expensive death trap.
The only headache with these beautiful EVs specially in middle east (where I live rn) is the maintenance and adaptability to harsh weather conditions. The import duty is next to nothing but as soon as there is an issue with the battery or anything major, we are screwed. Even though there are few dealers who are providing facilities for car services but it is costly.
After sales service is something that h chi obese companies really have to work on in certain markets. I think that resolving that issue will go a very long way in making their cars more popular, but it will take many years to develop.
Wuling is very famous in China, especially the most cheapest verison "mini ev" ,the reason is because it gives hope for lower class income group have the rights to afford a car. Poor people also have a chance to get a car instead of only have " bike" options. Very welcome for the age group of 18 to 25.
你在此对全世界说，有意义吗？
The older version which is macaron or gameboy has the old school handbreak, so this is better even without auto hold. But it is a bummer they have removed the other cup holders. One cup holder will not suffice for sure.
Who knew we needed two Ethan’s in our lives.
Awesome looking Wuling Bingo
Thanks, good as usual!!!
Id totally add a front lip n change wheels or add some agressive looking wheel caps
Practical and beautiful.🖤
I personally am more of a fan of this cars sibling, the Baojun Yep (Yueye). I love its boxy styling and interior more than the Bingo tbh.
Bingo is far more practical than the Yep, but I reckon the Yep may end up siphoning off a bunch of Bingo sales because it is perceived to be a much cooler car. It also has a hilarious name in Chinese because "yueye" sounds like "off road" in Chinese, except the Yep has no real off road capability, despite looking like a Suzuki Jimny.
I went to the Wuling/Baojun dealership the other day to see one in person, it does not disappoint! No word on when we can get a test car, but I’m certainly looking forward to when that day comes!
@@Wheelsboy Please test the Mini truck version of the Yep as well 🙏
@@Wheelsboy 做一期五菱细狗，我实在是想看看老外怎么看这种奇葩车
This has 4 doors. More practical and looks like a proper hatchback. Not a fake jimny with only 15cm ground clearance
Wow! I am envious! 👍
Prayers have been answered- Bingo has Auto-hold. And is also sold in the Philippines.
Top model sales around $18k here in the Philippines
Interesting: Tail lights remind me of that of a Peugeot 206!
If this car would have a long range option (~500KM WLTP) and a bit more safety tech it would be crazy good for the tiny european streets. The price could even be double and it would still handily crush a very close rival like the Peugeot 208 electric. Though if they really did sell this car for (8000 € * 1.1 (import duty) * 1.2 (Average VAT)) + 1500 € (delivery & other expenses) = 12 060 € it would be extremely competitive as well. The price could even go as high as 25K and still be competive. Chinese automakers have been way off the mark in terms of european pricing though so not much hope there.
If they keep the price lower they can conquer the eastern European market.
you might be interested in a mg4 :)
So the drivetrain is the same for the Bingo, Air and Yep? Is there liquid cooling?
Could you do a review on the changan e star? They are starting to sell it here in Panamá and it looks nice
This little bud could very much replace the Suzuki Alto as the post popular entry level taxi in Ivory coast. Just slighly pricier for better practicality, confort and no refueling bill to take care of. That would be interesting for Taxi companies.
Be great to now see a review of the Seagull so you can compare them.
We are eagerly awaiting a test drive event or a press car that we can borrow. Hopefully it will happen before the end of the summer.
In the usa now one cannot afford a new car. But for short commutes in the city this could be perfect.
What bs are you saying?
There are probably several auto design shops in China. Have you visited & interview any? It would be very interesting to find out how they develop their styles.
Most of the famous European car designers are working for Chinese automakers now, former Porsche, BMW ……
efficient, nice, and affordable EV
Wonderful, marvellous, incredible….but they ain’t come to the UK at those prices so not much point in staring at the video really !.
Please, review the Seagull...thanks
compare to neta v which one is better?
this is a fine product as it looks
Hi available in the Philippines? Thanks.
Will you be reviewing the Baojun Yep?
Sodium-ion battery:
Charging - 15 minutes. 2000 times
Range - 120 km, 240 km.
I'm in Ireland, I'd love one of these, currently have a 2014 fiat 500 and don't know what to change to here 😟
Love this EV! ❤️🔥👍👏
me too . like it .. the inside is cool
Finally, some style for mini EVs
God wish these very cheap small Chinese EV’s could be in the US. I would buy one instantly
Every EV here is so expensive
No you wouldn’t.
To US? First there is a tariff thanks to Trump, then if does come with high sales volume it will get national security'ed right away
I don't have autohold; I just put my foot on the big pedal and it holds.
Cringe😊
What an adorable little economy car, good job Wuling!
indeed . i luv it
I was really excited when the first cars you showed some years ago finally arrived in our country recently... BUT they are 10- 15k more expensive here... Wich makes them just... Okayish... Im a little bit sad.
hopefully this car is still affordable when it arrives in Indonesia
Anybody know what it's ground clearance???
Its coming to Curaçao (Caribbean)
Car comparison videos would have more fun. Next time bring Bingo, Kiwi & Seagull together.
The Yep (Yueye) would be the better option than the Kiwi for comparison. The Bingo and the Yueye are on the same platform I believe.
How low does the rear hatch open?!?!
🇨🇦 please.
The bingo is adorable in a sort of blobby way.
Can relate
yup .. its cute
When can we expect Bingo in France?
U should review the letin mengo next
EV for the masses. Crucial.
This is now available in our country. Very exciting EV as it is cheaper than BYD Dolphin which is more affordable for the masses. A great option instead of buying Honda City or Toyota Vios.
What country are you from ?
@@elimlinrr6898 Philippines
@@elimlinrr6898 Philippines
I want this in the US.
Has anyone ever upgraded this car's built-in audio? Or does anyone know the Wuling Bingo audio cable schematic/diagram?
You've upped your editing game. We're not catching you standing waiting to start quite so often now.
Haha thank you
Do a Shenlan S7!
Only if distributors outside of china could maintain prices close to that from origin😢
they cant - they need to pay for logistic and taxes. only only logistic will be 15% of that car
@@sguploads9601 actually it's plausable.
Lunch this mini EV in India, it will dominate in Indian markets with reasonable prices if has different variants
right . its cute
sama persis yg di indo
The small battery has 17.4 kWh. It was not mentioned in the video so i looked it up.
Why even sell that model?
@@b4804514 fair point ;) i guess maybe for small range commute
@@b4804514 People in China don't often drive long distance. They prefer taking high speed railways. For city commute, 200km (CLTC range, or >170km estimated WLTP range) is enough. It's a small car so its energy consumption is low.
I'm fine with it not coming to the UK as it would be $25,000.
Got quite excited when BYD announced the Atto 3 was coming to the UK. At last a good affordable EV. $46,000. 😮 I'll pass.
The only good value Chinese EV in the UK is the MG4.
I do quite like the new Volvo EX30. It's certainly not cheap but does seem good value.
Agree on the Volvo!
Yes, of course.A Volvo version Zeekr X is really good.
@@seasee952 No, it doesn't have a hub
They can definitely sell the Atto3 for $15000 cheaper if they build their own dealers. But if they do that, all the local dealership-automaker factions will lobby the shit out of them, and that's bad for business.
EX30 is pretty decent value in Europe and US, just don't look at how cheap its sister car (and IMO better looking and designed) Zeekr X is in China. It's nuts how cheap EVs are in China.
I'm waiting for Baojun Cloud EV (Wuling Cloud EV)
It actually looks rather nice, at least its proportions are right. It's a happy looking thing, like a Fiat Panda. Maybe they borrowed a bit of the Fiat 500X styling for the rear side of it.
Although it sounds cheap and looks good for the price, it is hardly fit for Europe due to lack of safety features. We expect a car to have at least side and window airbags, the now mandatory emergency stop helping system, and if possible a good NCAP safety rating. The car is really promising, but would sadly become overpriced in the EU.
Please ban motorcycles from highways before whining about safety, thou hypocrite...
Yes! I love that it looks happy, not angry or aggressive. You’re right, it would definitely need to go up in price in order to meet the necessary safety regulations in markets like the EU.
can we change the interface language?
In Canada please
Bingo to the USA😊 $15,000. Grand
no doubt
In my country it was sold for 23k USD for the base variant, and 26k USD for the higher variant :(
The import tax is high
Slightly better than walking... I wouldn't want to walk 10km, so it's way better than walking. So, ya, I'd want to see it sold in S. E. Asia, where it's too hot or too wet for walking. Ya. Good video. ☑️
This is the car for me.
China's making electric Kei cars now. This is a pleasant development
no bashing on this car, SAIC-GM-wuling is a joint venture with china 50.1%, GM 44%, guangxi auto 5.9%...all those anti china brand haters shouldn't be bashing this vehicle. it is part American too with GM ownership. China is frigging smart to have all these JVs. sometimes, haters just hate.
i'm like us politicians want to ban these nice cars in the usa..i'm like these are american cars too for a lot less..the rubio, the desantis, the younggkins, the 90% of usa politicans, they have no clue. We want these chinese-american JV EVs for $10,000, not $45K tesla.
At last they are thinking of those people that want a car to look like a car and not a cardboard box with tiny wheels, having 4 doors puts it above many of the economical EV's........performance as stated is totally adequate for most needs......I doubt we in OZ will ever see one and in RH steering as well..
It has the silver badge though. Silver badge was supposed to mean international model.
Earlier wuling in Indonesia had red badge. They only went silver in 21
Bingo on sale in Indonesia as the Binguo. And yes the price more than doubles.
Please compare this with Indian tata Tiago ev or tigor ev if you can find one .
Lol he’s in China… how is he going to find that??
@@azera55555 yes may be spec wise . I was just curious.
@@pankajtayal4433 Specs wise the Tata EVs which are converted from old ICE chassis cannot really compared to these Chinese superminis which are riding on brand new pure EV platforms which are in general more advanced. For instance the Tiago EV starts at just under $11k USD, similar to the starting price of the large battery Wuling Bingo, which has more range and much more advanced infotainment software.
The BYD Seagull is even more advanced, riding on BYD's latest e-Platform 3.0, and comes standard with a 30 kWh battery, DC fast charging, 300 plus km range in the city, 4 airbags, NFC/Phone as Key, and full safety suite including electronic stability control. It even has a wireless phone charger.
You would have to wait until whenever Tata's next pure EV platform cars come out to compare to these newest Chinese city minis.
This is more like normal car than air ev. Like it.
I like it. Simple City E-car.
They'll never sell a car this cheap in the US. That would break the chain of debt slavery.
So most of them only have one screen. Where are all the functions in that case?
Ok, knowing how is mexican car market i'm 10000% sure that this car will be sold on México as the new Chevrolet Chevelle.
Context: Most Chevrolet cars on México are just rebadged chinese cars from Bao-jun, Maxus and Wuling.
Thats why EU is worried, this car goes for 10k and here in Italy the cheapest comparable EV car the Fiat 500e starts from 29k for the 23kw battery to 33k for the 42kw battery, EU just cant compete, they talk about freemarket and such but when it hurts them they become protectionists and start imposing insane taxes to protect their economies, meanwhile the average citizen is forced to pay when its already taxed to d3ath 🤣
good value.
Anyone who buys a Chinese electric car must be mad, and obviously doesn’t know the current situation in China.
A young man who speaks well, shaves and dresses neatly. Refreshing.
He's in china, he can't look like a homeless guy and expect to be taken seriously
@@lucky889s9 Good.
You'd get much better with the leapmotor t03.
I’ve driven the Leap Motors T03 and it is also a very competitive car for the price.
Needs to be able to go 300-400 miles for america
😂I'm curious why GM didn't bring wuling small car to more markets，I thought they were part of the joint venture?
They do. They are in Indonesia since 2017. Obviously not to US due to anti chinese sentiments, or EU with so many rules and regulations and high taxes
I’m, Japan got trouble
Is there something like this but without integrated cinema, abundance of door openers, fart detectors ... and just regular controls?
Not even a tesla is like that you mentioned
This looks better than the byd seagull but seagull offers so much more ..
interior looks way better than the Funky cat
Like it
Bingo jiayou
I'm really surprised you don't know the button behind the ebrake. That's the autohold button, which only activates after you put on the seatbelt. You should ask around the dealer about details first, before reviewing
Yet another example of the flare Chinese manufactures have for naming their vehicles.
and its only 8,600 $$ !!!! reminds me of a mini cooper . but cuter
This or the BYD Dolphin?
Bingo is real bingo and like Air they are not ECC approved!!!
Yunlong's Ev cars have ECC and only those are worth paying attention to.
