Wuling Motors has introduced the Binguo EV to complete its line of electric car products in Indonesia.
However, different from previous electric car products, this time Wuling did not equip the Binguo EV with a voice command feature.
Danang Wiratmoko as Product Planning for Wuling Motors said that the command feature could be embedded in the Binguo EV.
“Technically it is possible. But in terms of features, the features on the Binguo EV are actually final,” said Danang, in South Tangerang, Thursday (23/11/2023).
Furthermore, Danang said, the voice command feature is actually not a critical feature. But when it is available it will still be used by car users.
“From the consumer side, it’s not a really critical feature. But when it’s there it will be used. So for many Wuling users, they use it,” explained Danang.
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.
For information, Binguo EV has dimensions of length 3,950 mm, width 1,708 mm and height 1,580 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,560 mm. This car features modern elements such as LED front and rear lights with an elegant X-Shaped design and dynamic body lines.
For power matters, Binguo EV uses LFP batteries with two variants based on mileage, namely 333 km and 410 km. For the 333 km variant, the battery capacity is 31.9 kWh. Meanwhile, for the 410 km variant, the battery capacity is 37.9 kWh.
Each variant is equipped with a 50 kW electric motor. The maximum torque that can be produced reaches 125 Nm. Even though there is no official price yet, the Binguo EV will reportedly be marketed at a price ranging from IDR 350 million to IDR 400 million.
