This is the Wuling Bingo, a tiny four-door EV from China that gives you so much for so little.

It only costs a bit over $8,000 and – for that – you get two massive screens complete with an AI system and 250 miles of range.

It’s also quite spacious and comfortable.

Some people are beginning to reassess their vehicle choice because of cars like this.

A compact and fun car for just $8,400

The Wuling Bingo starts at $8,400 but even if you kit it out with all the optional extra you’ll only be spending $12,000.

For that, you get an electric powertrain with 68 horsepower that can go up to 250 miles on a charge.

You also get LED lights, a sizable trunk for all your stuff, and enough room in the cabin for somebody who’s six feet tall, as confirmed by YouTuber @forrestsautoreviewsofficail who fit just fine, including as a passenger in the back seats.

On top of that, you also get two infotainment displays integrated one next to the other, and a system also comes with its own built-in AI system.

Why automakers from China are on the rise

‘Legacy’ automakers know how to build engines, but they’re not always that great at software, and they’re now having to repurpose facilities and retrain and/or hire new staff.

They need to do this because nowadays, a car maker is also a tech company.

Needless to say, that takes time.

By contrast, most Chinese automakers started pretty much from scratch and this, paradoxically, gave them a huge advantage.

This is why they’re now building cars that can float and do tank turns, and why so many tech companies, from Huawei to Xiaomi, are now making cars.

Just imagine a BlackBerry car, that’d be dope.
