A couple of weeks after SAIC-GM-Wuling released the first photos of its upcoming small electric crossover, the exterior design of the Wuling brand’s new model has just been leaked.
Chinese media have leaked the first photo of upcoming Wuling small electric crossover fully uncovered, revealing the final design of the next new energy vehicle family member from General Motors’ best-selling joint venture brand in China. The new model is set to launch later this year and will complement Wuling’s offering below the compact-to-midsize Wuling Starlight S.
Captured without any camouflage in what appears to be a room at SGMW’s Design Center, the only leaked photo of Wuling’s upcoming small electric crossover confirms that the vehicle will introduce an evolution of the brand’s design language, combining several aesthetic elements from current models wearing the Global Silver logo. However, the upcoming utility vehicle distinguishes itself from both the Wuling Bingo subcompact family and the Starlight S.
Aesthetically, the upcoming Wuling small EV features an uncluttered design with contemporary, well-defined lines that create a unique look within the Wuling portfolio. The front end features a long hood and elongated, single-piece headlights that debut their own LED lighting signature, integrated into a bumper flanked by two vertical air intakes at each end that complement the low central intake.
Just as the camouflaged prototype photos hinted, the side profile of upcoming Wuling small EV crossover features rounded wheel arches with plastic cladding around the lower perimeter, and shares several functional elements with the larger Wuling Starlight S. This includes the same rearview mirrors and door handles, as well as similar door sills. It also features a split C-pillar with a black trim line to create a floating roof effect.
The upcoming Wuling small electric crossover is expected to be officially unveiled in the coming weeks in China, where it is being developed, and will seemingly be manufactured in one of SGMW’s main plants. Once again, Chinese media reports suggest that this vehicle will go on sale under the Wuling Bingo S name, expanding the Bingo EV family of vehicles – which currently consists of the standard Bingo hatchback and the crossover-style Bingo Plus.

The Chevy Aveo EUV is back.
Hot garbage
normal, but the outer mirror could have been attached at side window to be precise
Moving the outside rearview mirrors from the side windows to the doors improves aerodynamics and reduces wind noise, thus enhancing overall vehicle performance and comfort. This design change also provides better visibility and safety for drivers.
The mirror-to-glass is closed out to eliminate noise even more effectively, so I disagree with on this.
Who cares.
Another Buick model.
Name one Buick model based off of Wuling.
Wow when this comes out it will blow the doors off of that Weird Amazon truck with no tech and bad interior. GM is making the right moves. The comments here are from Foreign car companies who have no clue how to make a quality car.
GM’s 44% stake in SGMW represents its influence over the production and sales of Wuling-branded vehicles, but it has 0% direct ownership of the Wuling brand itself, as the brand remains under Guangxi Automobile Group’s control. If you meant GM’s share of SGMW’s operations or profits related to Wuling vehicles, it’s 44%.
Therefore Wuling is not a GM brand, but Guangxi Automobile Group a state-owned entity. Wuling is a trojan horse to acquire GM’s IP
It looks like some 1960s Fiar or something! It’s ugly as can be.
Correct. As you mentioned, there are no Chinese companies. The CCP owns all Chinese companies.
