In addition to breaking Wuling Air EV’s prior record of 2,000 pre-sale orders for new energy vehicles in Indonesia, this accomplishment highlights the increasing interest among consumers in electric mobility in the region.
The four-door hatchback has dimensions of 3,950/1,708/1,580 mm and a wheelbase of 2,560 mm. In comparison, the Bingo is larger in every dimension when compared to the new Swift, which measures 3,855/1,695/1,495 mm and has a 2,450mm wheelbase.
