Can Baojun Cars Have Their Emblems Replaced?
2 Answers
Old Baojun vehicles cannot have their emblems replaced with the new ones. Firstly, Baojun's new emblem is primarily used for their more technologically advanced and intelligent high-end series models. Secondly, unauthorized replacement of the car emblem is considered illegal. If caught by traffic police, you may face a fine of 500 yuan, have your vehicle's driving license confiscated, and be ordered to restore the original emblem. Below are specific details about Baojun cars: 1. Introduction: Baojun is an independent automobile brand established by SAIC-GM-Wuling in 2010. On January 19, 2019, during the brand's upscale transformation, the Baojun Diamond emblem was released. The Diamond emblem belongs to the Baojun brand and coexists with the classic shield emblem. As of July 30, 2019, only one Baojun model used the new emblem: the RS-5, positioned as a compact SUV. 2. Positioning: Baojun cars are positioned as 'Reliable Partners.' The 'Reliable Partners' brand positioning is friendly and easy to communicate, intuitive yet meaningful, fully illustrating SAIC-GM-Wuling's belief in 'fully integrating shareholder resources to develop an independent brand from a high starting point,' aiming to create a new benchmark of joint venture value deeply loved by consumers.
Having driven for decades, I've seen many car enthusiasts wanting to change their car emblems. Technically, it's feasible to replace Baojun's emblem with a new one, but legal issues should be carefully considered. Doing it yourself might violate the Road Traffic Safety Law, as unauthorized modifications to the vehicle's appearance can lead to issues during annual inspections and even fines of several hundred yuan. I once knew a friend who replaced his emblem with that of a joint-venture brand, only to have his insurance claim denied after an accident, resulting in significant losses. Additionally, the resale value of the car might drop due to the mismatch with the original manufacturer's branding. If you're serious about changing the emblem, I recommend first contacting the local vehicle management office to inquire about the registration process or seeking assistance from a certified modification shop to ensure everything is legal. Keep the original emblem as a backup for any unforeseen circumstances. Balance both safety and financial considerations—don’t invite trouble for the sake of a fleeting novelty.
