Wuling Motors (Wuling) completes the range of electric car products in Indonesia by presenting the Binguo EV.
However, it is different from the previous electric car product, namely the Air EV. Binguo EV is not yet equipped with a voice command feature.
Responding to this, Danang Wiratmoko as Product Planning for Wuling Motors said that the Wuling Binguo EV is a product prepared to highlight its unique selling point in terms of functionality.
“Binguo is not equipped with a voice command feature, we want Binguo to be one of the EV products that emphasizes its functionality, so with other advantages in the form of a spacious cabin, good seating comfort, and interior materials that pamper the passengers, that which is the selling point of Binguo,” said Danang Wiratmoko, when introducing the Binguo EV, recently.
Regarding the choice of the name Binguo, Dian Asmahani as Brand and Marketing Director of Wuling Motors explained, Binguo was inspired by Mandarin, namely “bin” which means many and “guo” which means results.
“Binguo itself sounds like the word Bingo which in English means an expression of happiness and satisfaction over the success achieved,” explained Dian.
