The Wuling Bingo‘s price was cut by 10% as the SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) joint venture craves a sales boost. The discount is dedicated to the Chinese New Year and will end on March 31. The price of some trim levels has dropped by 8,000 yuan (1,125 USD).
Wuling Bingo was launched in March last year by the well-known SGMW, the Hongguang Mini EV hip city car manufacturer. It is a small hatchback that aims to rival the BYD Seagull. Bingo gained momentum at the end of the last year, selling over 20,000 units monthly. Still, this promising hatchback lagged behind the BYD Seagull, which sells around 40,000 cars each month. So, the SGMW joint venture wants to seize the advantage by offering discounts.

Aside from the price reduction, those who place an order for the Bingo during the validity period will get a free 3.5 kW charging pile, a lifetime warranty for the first owner, and a financial interest discount.
