BYD Dolphin is also under pressure, produced by Wuling Binguo Factory, with a range of 510km for less than 100,000
In the electric scooter market, BYD Dolphin is still relatively popular, and its sales performance has been in the forefront of the market segment after its listing, and has been recognized by many consumers. After entering 2024, in order to cope with the increasingly fierce "involution" of the automobile market, BYD Dolphin also ushered in the Glory Edition, with the price range reduced to 99,800-139,800, and the cost performance was further improved. But now the Wuling Binguo PLUS, which is also produced by a large factory, has arrived, and this new car has put a lot of pressure on the BYD Dolphin.

The price range of Wuling Binguo is 89,800-98,800, and the price of the top-of-the-line model is lower than that of the entry-level BYD Dolphin, which looks very sincere. However, the level of cost performance is not determined simply by looking at the price, and the product power is also an important factor for us to judge the cost performance of a model. So, what is the performance of Wuling Binguo PLUS's product power? Let's take the BYD Dolphin as a comparison to analyze it in detail.

For an electric scooter, battery life is a very important parameter, longer battery life can reduce the charging frequency in daily travel, improve the car experience. Depending on the model, the BYD Dolphin has three ranges: 302km, 420km, and 401km.
Looking at the Wuling Binguo PLUS, this car only has two configurations, corresponding to two cruising ranges of 401km and 510km. It can be found that the battery life of the entry model of Wuling Binguo PLUS is similar to that of the top model of the BYD Dolphin, and the charging frequency of the two models will be basically the same in actual travel.

However, the top configuration of Wuling Binguo PLUS priced at 98,800 yuan is very unusual, with a long cruising range of 510km, and when facing the entry model of the dolphin at the same price, it has a cruising advantage of 208km. In actual travel, most people's daily commuting mileage is generally about 20km-30km, and the difference in endurance of 105km allows Wuling Binguo PLUS to commute for 3-5 days more when fully charged, effectively reducing the charging frequency.

The advantage of Wuling Binguo PLUS is not only a little bit of battery life, in terms of performance, Wuling Binguo PLUS is equipped with a total power of 75 kilowatts and a total torque of 180 Nm of electric motors. The BYD Dolphin comes standard with an entry-level power version, while the electric motor has a total power of 70 kW and a total torque of 180 Nm. Such a difference in power allows Wuling Binguo PLUS to bring a more pleasant and direct power output in daily travel, and it is easy to accelerate and overtake in urban conditions, which also ensures the driving experience of this car in high-speed conditions.

Looking at the body space, it can be found that the body measurements and wheelbase of the two cars are relatively close, and the space in the cockpit is also good, which can allow passengers with a height of 180cm to move freely in the back row, but the trunk of Wuling Binguo PLUS adopts a sunken design, which is more convenient for loading large luggage and items.

In terms of configuration, the performance of Wuling Binguo PLUS and BYD Dolphin is relatively close, with LED headlights, keyless entry/start, remote start and other functions all available. Both models are also equipped with an intelligent system in the cabin, which can control the multimedia functions in the car with voice, which is more convenient for daily use.

Combined with the differences in the above aspects, it can also be seen that although the price of Wuling Binguo PLUS is lower than that of the BYD Dolphin, it has the strength of the top BYD Dolphin, and the comprehensive cost performance is higher. If you want to buy a pure electric car in the near future and are more concerned about battery life, power and practicality, then Wuling Binguo PLUS is obviously a more suitable choice.
