SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW), a joint venture majority owned by Chinese state-owned automaker SAIC Motor, has officially launched its new Wuling Binguo S battery-powered small SUV in the Chinese market. The new model is keenly priced at between CNY 66,800 and CNY 79,800 (US$9,400-US$11,200), a further sign that China’s EV price war is far from over.
The Bingo S is designed to compete head-on with the Geely Xingyuan, the best-selling model in this segment. SGMW is understood to have received 55,000 orders for the model in the first two days after its launch.
The Binguo S is available with two main battery options, offering driving ranges of 325 km and 430 km, and is powered by a 75 kW drive motor. The batteries can be charged from 30% to 80% in 35 minutes using a fast-charging system.
The Binguo S features SGMW's latest ‘1+N Ling’ AI-based OS platform, integrated with DeepSeek, which supports human-machine interaction, a smart voice assistant, and an open ecosystem. The interior is fitted with an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster with an anti-glare and anti-reflection display, as well as a 12.8-inch 2K HD touchscreen featuring INCELL touch technology.
