Bajaj Wego P9018 vs Gogo P9018: What's the Difference

If you searched “Bajaj WEGO P9018 vs GoGo P9018,” here's the first thing to know: Bajaj doesn't sell a GoGo P9018. But the more useful thing to know is bigger than that: Bajaj currently sells two different “P7012” three-wheelers and two very similar “P5012” three-wheelers, one under the WEGO badge and one under the GoGo badge, and they are not simply the same vehicle with a different sticker. This guide explains how that happened, what actually differs, and which of the four (not three) real options fits your route.

EVSoch Verdict

Verdict

Best for: Operators who know their daily route distance and want to match it to the cheapest vehicle that covers it, rather than assuming “WEGO” always means better spec than “GoGo.”

Biggest advantage of understanding this properly: At the P7012 tier specifically, the WEGO version is both cheaper and longer-range than the GoGo version with the same name, which most listings don't flag.

Biggest concern: Dealer listings and comparison sites frequently mix up WEGO and GoGo variants sharing the same code, so don't trust a “P7012” or “P5012” price or range figure without confirming which brand it's under.

Who should consider it: Anyone comparing Bajaj's electric three-wheelers should treat “WEGO” and “GoGo” as two separate shopping lists, not one shared catalogue.

How this naming collision actually happened

Bajaj's GoGo range launched first, with three passenger variants: P5009, P5012 and P7012, explicitly positioned to replace Bajaj's older electric auto portfolio. WEGO launched separately, debuting on 9 February 2026 with the P9018 as a standalone flagship model. Then, on 15 April 2026, Bajaj expanded WEGO into what it called the “WEGO Maha-Range,” adding P50 and P70 tier variants, including a WEGO P5012 and WEGO P7012 that reuse the exact same codes as the pre-existing GoGo models.

Both lines use the same decoding logic: “P” means passenger, the middle digits are the size class, and the last two digits are the battery class in kWh. So “P7012” always means a 70-size-class passenger auto with a roughly 12 kWh battery, regardless of which brand badge is on it. That's exactly why the collision is confusing: the code tells you the size and battery tier, not which brand, and not the exact spec.

The four real options, compared

The P5012 pair is close to identical: near-equal price, identical battery, identical certified range. Whichever badge you're offered at this tier, you're getting essentially the same vehicle.

The P7012 pair is genuinely different, and the difference favours WEGO: the WEGO P7012 is roughly Rs 15,000-20,000 cheaper and certified for 8 km more range than the GoGo P7012, with more torque (40 Nm vs 36 Nm) on top. If a dealer quotes you a GoGo P7012, it's worth asking whether the WEGO version is available at the same lot, because on the numbers, it's the better buy.

Correcting the price on the flagship: the WEGO P9018 launched at Rs 4.41 lakh, not Rs 4.58 lakh as some listings state; that higher figure appears to be a later or city-specific quote rather than the pan-India ex-showroom base. Confirm the current figure with your dealer either way, since prices have drifted slightly since the February 2026 launch.

Decoding the names

Both lines genuinely use the same logic: “P” for passenger, the first two digits for size class (50, 70, 90), the last two for battery class in kWh (09, 12, 18). So the WEGO P9018 is a 90-size-class passenger auto with an 18 kWh-class (actually 17.7 kWh) pack, the P7012 models are 70-size-class with a 12.1 kWh pack, and the P5012 models are 50-size-class with the same 12.1 kWh pack in a smaller body. The battery size being identical between P5012 and P7012 within each brand is exactly why the P5012 slightly outranges the P7012 on paper: same energy, smaller and lighter body.

Range comparison

Certified range doesn't rank neatly by price once you account for both brands. The WEGO P9018 leads outright at 296 km. Both P5012 variants claim 272 km. The WEGO P7012 claims 259 km, and the GoGo P7012 trails at 251 km despite costing more. Bajaj does not publish an official road-tested (real-world) figure for any of these models, so treat every certified number here as a lab figure and plan routes with genuine margin, especially with a full D+3 passenger load.

Motor, transmission and vehicle category

All of these run an Advanced PMS motor through a 2-speed AMT, with torque ranging from 36 Nm (GoGo P7012 specifically) to 40 Nm (everything else). The WEGO P9018 makes 6.2 kW of continuous power; the smaller-battery models run closer to 5.5-5.6 kW.

Correcting the vehicle category claim: these are all L5 category vehicles, the standard Indian classification for passenger three-wheelers over 25 km/h. There isn't a documented split between an “L3M low-speed” WEGO P9018 and an “L5M high-speed” GoGo, as some comparisons suggest; L3 is the motorcycle and moped category, not three-wheelers. Top speed does differ: the WEGO P9018 is capped at 45 km/h, while the P50 and P70 tier models across both brands run to 50 km/h, but that's a speed difference within the same L5 category, not a different licence class.

For a city operator, that 5 km/h gap on the P9018 matters on flyovers and ring roads, where holding 45 km/h against faster traffic can leave you in the slow lane. If your route is mostly flat inner-city streets, the slower flagship is fine.

Gradeability and practicality

On hills the WEGO P9018 has the edge, with 36% gradeability against roughly 33-34.5% on the P50/P70 tier models. All of them have hill-hold assist and Climb mode, so a loaded start on a ramp is manageable across the range.

Cabin size follows the same logic as battery size: the WEGO P9018 is the extra-large carrier at 3,095 mm long and 1,490 mm wide on a 2,039 mm wheelbase, seating a driver plus three passengers with real luggage space. The P70-tier models (both brands) are a mid-size “day cabin” body, and the P50-tier models are the compact daily runners. If you carry three fare-paying passengers all day, the P9018's extra width is the practical difference; between the two P7012 variants, cabin size is essentially the same regardless of badge.

Charging

All of these charge AC-only from a standard 16A socket; none has a DC fast-charge option. The WEGO P9018 takes about 6 hours for a full charge and under 4 hours to 80%. The P50 and P70 tier models across both brands are quicker to a full charge at roughly 4.5-5.5 hours depending on the specific listing.

None of this changes the operating pattern: plug in overnight, run all day. The P9018's bigger pack simply needs the longer overnight slot.

Warranty

Bajaj backs all of these with a 5-year/1,20,000 km battery warranty, whichever comes first, identical across WEGO and GoGo. Warranty is not a differentiator between any of the four models here.

EVSoch Cost Breakdown: running cost across the tier

Assumptions (August 2026): home/commercial charging at roughly Rs 9/unit.

At certified-range figures, the smaller-battery models are marginally cheaper per km than the P9018, though real-world retention (not published for any of these) will likely narrow that gap. All four remain dramatically cheaper than a CNG or petrol equivalent, which typically runs Rs 2.50-2.86/km in current conditions, roughly 5-7 times the electricity cost of any model here.

Real-World Example: choosing between the two P7012 variants

An operator quoted a GoGo P7012 at Rs 3.83 lakh for a semi-urban route averaging 200 km/day should ask their dealer whether a WEGO P7012 is available instead. On the published figures: it's roughly Rs 15,000-20,000 cheaper, certified for 8 km more range, and carries more torque (40 Nm vs 36 Nm) for the same battery size and broadly similar cabin. Unless a specific dealer promotion or stock availability issue favours the GoGo badge, there's no clear reason in the spec sheet to pay more for less on this particular pairing.

Who Should Buy

●      Choose the WEGO P9018 if range is the whole game: 296 km certified, the biggest pack, the widest cabin, and the strongest climb ability, accepting the 45 km/h cap. Suits an operator running long semi-urban routes with a full passenger load every trip.

●      Choose the WEGO P7012 over the GoGo P7012 at the same size and battery tier, since it's currently the cheaper, longer-range, higher-torque option between the two.

●      Choose either P5012 (WEGO or GoGo, they're nearly identical) if you run a tight, city-only route and want the lowest entry price with a genuinely competitive 272 km certified figure.

Who Should Avoid

●      Don't assume “WEGO” always means the better-specced option; at the P5012 tier it's essentially a tie with GoGo, and the badge alone tells you nothing about spec.

●      Don't pay a premium for a GoGo P7012 without first checking the WEGO P7012's price and availability at the same dealer.

●      Don't budget any route right up to the certified range figures above; none of these models has a published real-world/road-tested number, so build in genuine margin.

●      Don't buy the P9018 if 45 km/h feels too slow for your ring-road or flyover-heavy route; the 50 km/h P50/P70 tier models across both brands will keep pace better.

Questions to Ask the Dealer

●      For any “P7012” or “P5012” I'm quoted, is this the WEGO or the GoGo version, and can you show me both prices side by side?

●      Is the WEGO P9018 price I'm being quoted the current pan-India Rs 4.41 lakh figure, or has it moved, and why?

●      Has Bajaj published a road-tested, real-world range figure for the specific model and badge I'm buying, beyond the certified lab number?

●      Does my commercial driving permit need any specific class for an L5 category vehicle, and does that differ between these models?

●      What's the actual on-road price difference between the WEGO and GoGo versions of the same size/battery tier at my specific dealer, including any current offers?

Bottom line

There's no GoGo P9018, so the WEGO P9018 remains uncontested at the top of Bajaj's electric three-wheeler range. But below that, the real choice isn't a clean three-way WEGO-vs-two-GoGo comparison; it's four models across two brands that overlap at the P50 and P70 tiers, with the P5012 pair nearly identical and the P7012 pair genuinely different, and different in the WEGO badge's favour. Don't shop by brand name alone at this tier; get both quotes for the size and battery class you need, and let the actual numbers decide.
