Recently, the official image of the Wuling Bingo with the luxurious Mickey model has been released. What’s interesting is that this time, the new car has a very strong visual impact for me, as it combines many elements into its design and interior. Unlike previous Mickey editions, which only focused on the exterior colors.
Do you think that we would cover the exterior of a car with fur? The answer is probably not, because it would be exposed to dirt, bacteria, and the sun the most. So there’s no need to cover the exterior of a car with smooth fur, including the wheels. However, the latest version of the Wuling Bingo has sparked curiosity because it’s difficult to know its target users. Is it for young people, children of parents, or hot moms?
As we can see, the Wuling Bingo with the luxurious Mickey model is designed based on the regular version of the car. The difference is that the surface of the car is almost covered with “fur” and “ears” that grow from the roof, decorated with pink, blue, yellow, and other colors. What do you think about this design?
That fur even extends to the wheels, which has led some Chinese netizens to joke about whether this Wuling Bingo car needs to be dry cleaned instead of going to a car wash.
The interior design of the car is also the same. The central control panel and other areas are designed to be luxurious, with patterns that look relatively soft and comfortable. But it must also be said that such a design can easily compromise safety. For example, does the velvet material on the steering wheel make it slippery?
Or, because both the interior and exterior of a new car are made almost entirely of fur-like materials, could it easily catch fire if exposed to an open flame? Does it have any impact on the car’s safety with its equipped battery? Wuling claims that this is the world’s first luxurious car covered from inside out with fur materials, which should at least give it an additional C-NCAP star! It even has a pair of furry ears on the rooftop.
Wuling Bingo is a small 5-door electric hatchback car that was launched last year. Wuling hopes to leverage the success of their Mini EV by producing something slightly larger and more car-like. The listed prices range from 59,800 CNY (8,300 USD) to 88,800 CNY (12,350 USD).
The standard Wuling Bingo comes with a choice of front-mounted engines of 30 kW or 50 kW. The range varies depending on the battery, but it has a range of 203 km, 333 km, and 410 km. If the Mickey Plush Style version is produced, these specifications may be retained. From the inside evaluation, the target audience must be young women.
