Binguo sells too well, then come to Wuling Binguo PLUS, which is still benchmarked against BYD

Text/Civil Engineering

In December last year, with a monthly sales of 27,458 units, Wuling Binguo surpassed Wuling Hongguang MINI EV to become the best-selling model of the Wuling brand in one fell swoop.

But Wuling is obviously not satisfied with this, seeing that Binguo is so hot, so if you launch a more powerful, longer endurance, more space model wouldn't it sell better?

For example, in the front part, there is an obvious bulge structure on both sides of the front bonnet, and the hollow air intake of the flat structure can also be seen at the bottom of the front of the car.

In terms of the shape of the headlights, Binguo PLUS does not use the approximately oval lamp group on Wuling Binguo, but is equipped with a relatively flat lamp cavity design, and you can see the long strip of daytime running lights and LED light sources for lighting, which has a certain sense of refinement.

On the side, Binguo PLUS introduces a floating roof treatment, with an all-black roof and five-spoke bladed wheels adding to the sporty look. In addition, the body of Wuling Binguo PLUS is significantly more slender, its length, width and height are 4090/1720/1575mm, and the wheelbase is 2610mm, compared with the current Binguo, the body length of Binguo PLUS has increased by 140mm, and the wheelbase has increased by 50mm, and the interior space must have been significantly improved.

At the rear, Wuling Binguo Plus has been redesigned for the tailgate shape, taillight cluster, and rear surround, with a longer tailgate length and a lower floor height;

Interior part, according to spy photos. The new car has the same points as Binguo, but the details are different, for example, Binguo adopts a "dual screen" design, while Binguo PLUS's LCD instrument panel and central control screen are not connected; Binguo does not have a front platform, while this car has a front platform; Binguo's air conditioning outlet adopts a round barrel shape, while this car adopts a long strip design. However, the overall style is still fashionable and cute, and it should be very popular with female consumers.

In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a front-mounted single motor, with a maximum motor power of 75kW, while the Binguo high-end power on sale is 50kW, and the power of the Binguo Plus motor has been increased by 50%, and it is believed that the power feedback of the actual car test drive will be significantly improved.

At the same time, the car is equipped with a 50.6KWh battery pack, referring to the 37.9kWh battery pack equipped with the Binguo 410km version on sale with a range of 410km, under the condition of reasonable control of power consumption, we can speculate that the Binguo Plus pure electric range will be more than 500km.

Considering that Wuling Binguo is benchmarked against BYD Seagull, then Binguo PLUS is likely to be BYD Dolphin, as a reference, the guide price range of the current Binguo is 59,800 yuan-88,800 yuan, and the guide price range of the current BYD Dolphin is 116,800 yuan-139,800 yuan, so the price of Binguo PLUS should also be in this range.

In fact, not only Binguo PLUS, but also a small car in the Wuling series has recently been "upgraded", which is based on the Yueye PLUS model of Baojun Yueye.

The main upgrade points of the new car are the same as those of Binguo PLUS, first of all, in terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 3996/1760/1726mm and a wheelbase of 2560mm. In terms of power, the Baojun Yue Ye PLUS is based on a new platform architecture, equipped with a 75kW high-power motor, with a top speed of 150km/h and a CLTC range of 401km.

In this way, Wuling can be said to have achieved full product coverage in the price range of 100,000 yuan, and it is likely that this range will be Wuling and BYD in the future.

Interestingly, there is also a lot of information flowing out of the new BYD Yuan UP, the length, width and height of this car are 4310/1830/1675mm, the wheelbase is 2620mm, and the size is between the Dolphin and the Yuan PLUS.

It is equipped with a single-motor system with a maximum power of 70 kW and 130 kW, and is matched with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack provided by Fodi Battery, and is available with two capacity battery packs, 32 kWh and 45.12 kWh, with a CLTC range of 301 km and 401 km respectively.

According to the preliminary judgment, the price of BYD Yuan UP will also be around 100,000 yuan, so the competition will be more intense.

Write at the end:

Judging from the car circle in the past two years, "Matryoshka" may really be able to bring success to a variety of models, but the most important thing is product power and cost performance, at present, the upgrade of Binguo PLUS is quite comprehensive, it depends on whether the price is also obviously "upgraded", as long as you follow Wuling's people-friendly line, there should be no shortage of sales.
