The TQ WULING Bingo is the first model introduced under the TQ WULING brand, which stems from a strategic collaboration between Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad (TCMH) and SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW). This partnership brings together Tan Chong’s decades of local market and manufacturing experience and distribution strength, and SGMW’s proven leadership in global electric vehicle technology.
“This launch represents a significant milestone for Tan Chong Group as we proudly introduce a highly affordable electric vehicle option for all Malaysians. As the first EV to be locally assembled at the Tan Chong Plant – built on nearly 50 years of automotive manufacturing and assembly heritage – the Bingo EV reflects our commitment towards advancing the nation’s electric mobility landscape. We are honoured to play a humble role in driving Malaysia’s automotive ecosystem forward,” said Daniel Ho, Group CEO of Tan Chong Motor Holdings.
“By combining global EV technology with local manufacturing expertise, the Bingo EV brings world-class electric mobility to Malaysia at an attainable price point,” Ho added.
Speaking at the event, Lisa Li, Chief Operating Officer of the Overseas Business Department of the Overseas Division of SAIC-GM-Wuling expressed confidence in the brand’s expansion in Malaysia. “With our expertise in EVs, combined with Tan Chong Group’s strong market presence and manufacturing strength, we are excited to support Malaysia’s green mobility transition and bring sustainable driving solutions to local consumers. The ASEAN region is a key market for SGMW’s overall strategic plan, with key focus on Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand,” said Li.
“We have worked hard to deliver an affordable proposition for Malaysian consumers who are ready to embrace the EV lifestyle. With our Fabulous 5 Perks, the Bingo EV becomes a truly compelling choice, combining attractive rebates, convenient charging solutions, and peace-of-mind assurances such as comprehensive insurance and warranty coverage,” said Wan Wei Sun, Head of Business, TQ Manufacturing Sdn Bhd.
Both variants are powered by a front-mounted 50 kW electric motor paired with a single-speed reduction gear and front-wheel drive, producing 68 PS and 150 Nm of torque. This setup provides smooth acceleration along with energy efficiency and easy drivability, ensuring the Bingo EV is well-suited for daily commuting and dense urban traffic.
