TQ WULING Commences Local Assembly of Bingo EV in Malaysia

TQ WULING today announced the official commencement of local assembly (CKD) of the TQ WULING Bingo EV in Malaysia. This marks a significant milestone in the brand’s long-term commitment to the Malaysian automotive industry and the country’s growing electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem.

The TQ WULING Bingo EV is locally assembled at Tan Chong Group’s manufacturing facility in Segambut, a plant with a proven automotive manufacturing track record and internationally recognised quality and process standards, including ISO certifications. This milestone brings together SAIC-GM-Wuling’s (SGMW) global EV expertise with Tan Chong Group’s deep local manufacturing know-how, ensuring vehicles that meet international quality benchmarks while being optimised for Malaysian customers.

As part of the initial ramp-up phase, TQ WULING is adopting a phased production approach, with the flexibility to scale up output in line with market demand and the continued growth of Malaysia’s EV segment. This approach ensures stable supply, quality consistency and operational efficiency as local assembly operations mature.

The TQ WULING Bingo EV is the first electric vehicle to be locally assembled at the Tan Chong Assembly Plant and is strategically priced to make electric mobility more accessible to a wider audience. Developed with a strong emphasis on safety, the Bingo EV sets a new benchmark as the first market to offer six airbags alongside the integration of 1,500 MPa ultra-high-tensile steel within its body structure. This reinforced construction not only enhances structural rigidity but is also designed to absorb impact effectively, providing improved protection for occupants.

Available in two well-equipped variants, the Bingo PRO and Bingo MAX, the model is priced at RM67,800 and RM72,800, respectively. To celebrate the launch, TQ WULING is offering Bingo’s Fabulous 5 Perks, which include a RM5,000 cash rebate. This brings on-the-road prices to RM62,800 for the Bingo PRO and RM67,800 for the Bingo MAX, positioning the Bingo EV as one of the more affordable electric vehicles in the market, making EV ownership more accessible to a wider range of Malaysian consumers.

The first 500 customers who place an order will enjoy benefits worth up to RM12,000 under the Bingo’s Fabulous 5 Perk offer, comprising the RM5,000 cash rebate, comprehensive battery and drive motor warranties, low monthly instalments from RM625, a complimentary 7kW home EV charger, portable 3-pin EV charger and TQ premium solar tinting package, and 17 comprehensive insurance benefits with special EV coverage.

Customers can place their bookings for the TQ WULING Bingo EV with a booking fee of just RM50 via the tqwuling.my website, at any TQ WULING showroom or during any TQ WULING roadshow.

The local assembly of the TQ WULING Bingo EV delivers key benefits for the Malaysian market, including:

• Improved affordability, expanding access to electric mobility for more drivers.
• Enhanced supply stability and shorter delivery timelines, ensuring a smoother ownership experience.
• Stronger localisation, aligned with Malaysian driving conditions and consumer needs.
• Consistent build quality and dependable aftersales support, backed by local manufacturing and service capabilities.

Beyond customer benefits, the initiative also supports the Government’s EV adoption and industrialisation agenda, contributing to the development of local capabilities, supply chains and skilled talent within the automotive sector.

“The commencement of local assembly of the TQ WULING Bingo EV represents far more than the launch of a single model. It reflects our long-term investment and confidence in Malaysia as a key market and production base. By combining SGMW’s global EV capabilities with Tan Chong’s decades of strong manufacturing heritage, we are building trust through quality, strengthening the local ecosystem, and laying the foundation for sustainable growth in the years ahead,” said Wan Wei Sun, Head of Business, TQ Manufacturing Sdn Bhd.

With local assembly now underway, TQ WULING reaffirms its commitment to supporting Malaysia’s transition towards cleaner, smarter and more sustainable mobility, while delivering accessible electric vehicles for everyday urban use.

Positioned as an affordable, stylish and practical urban electric vehicle, the TQ WULING Bingo EV is designed to meet the demands of everyday city driving, where ease of ownership, efficiency and value matter most.

Both Bingo variants deliver a practical electric driving range, with the Bingo PRO offering up to 333km (CLTC) and the Bingo MAX offering up to 410 km (CLTC) on a single charge.

The Bingo EV combines a compact footprint with a simple, retro-inspired design, modern interior appointments and thoughtful practicality, including 15 interior storage compartments and a flexible boot space of up to 1,240 litres with rear seats folded.

A key interior highlight is the “floating-island” style centre console and dashboard layout, which houses dual 10.25-inch screens for instrumentation and infotainment.

The TQ WULING Bingo is available in Milky White, Neon Blue and Lavender Purple, all paired with a contrasting black roof, enhancing its youthful and modern character.

Proven EV battery technology

The TQ WULING Bingo EV offers Wuling’s proprietary MAGIC EV battery which has a proven track record. The WULING MAGIC Battery is engineered with safety as its core principle, developed under Wuling’s ultra-high-standard battery safety system. It is designed to deliver robust, multi-layered protection through reinforced battery pack construction, advanced thermal management, and comprehensive electrical safeguards. The system has undergone an extensive series of rigorous tests under extreme conditions—including impact, compression, fire exposure, water immersion and thermal stress—to ensure stable performance and structural integrity in real-world driving scenarios.

Beyond durability, the WULING MAGIC Battery is built to deliver peace of mind through a proven real-world track record. Across more than three million Wuling electric vehicles sold globally, the MAGIC Battery system has recorded zero incidents of fire or explosion, underscoring its robust safety engineering and long-term reliability in everyday use.

Further reinforcing its safety credentials, the MAGIC Battery carries an IP68 rating, providing comprehensive protection against dust ingress and water immersion. This ensures consistent performance even in challenging environments, from heavy rain to flooded conditions.

Warranty and network

The TQ WULING Bingo EV comes with an 8-year/120,000km* EV battery warranty, 8-year/160,000km* drive motor warranty and 5-year/150,000km* vehicle warranty against manufacturing defects (*whichever comes first), providing owners with complete peace of mind.

Customers are supported by six dedicated TQ WULING showrooms already available across Peninsular Malaysia, complemented by seven aftersales centres through TCMH’s established service network, with additional outlet openings scheduled for the coming months.
