Can Baojun Change to a New Logo?

[Nettie]

Baojun old cars cannot change to a new logo. Firstly, Baojun's new logo is mainly applied to more technologically advanced and intelligent high-end series models. Secondly, unauthorized logo replacement is illegal. Additionally, vehicles with altered logos will fail the annual inspection at the vehicle management office. Since models vary between brands, changing Baojun's logo to a new one may result in the vehicle being seized by traffic police. Below is relevant information: 1. The "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles" clearly states that at least one permanently maintained trademark or manufacturer's logo should be installed in a visible location on the front exterior of the vehicle. Visible identification marks of the vehicle model should be installed on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. The license plate should be fixed in a prominent and unaffected position, with its specific location indicated in the product usage manual. 2. According to the relevant provisions of the current "Regulations on Motor Vehicle Registration," owners who change the body color, model, performance, purpose, structure, replace the frame, body, or engine of a licensed motor vehicle must apply for a change of registration at the vehicle management office. Unauthorized actions such as changing the logo, adding a rear spoiler, modifying the vehicle's body kit, or altering the exhaust pipe are not permitted.

I heard some car owners want to change their car emblems, and I’ve actually looked into this. According to the law, car emblems are brand identifiers, and replacing them with another brand’s emblem is illegal—it’s considered trademark infringement. A friend of mine once swapped a Baojun emblem for a BMW one, and it got flagged during the annual inspection, with the traffic police issuing a fine. However, if you’re just switching to a newer emblem from the same brand, like replacing the old horse-head emblem with the diamond one, it’s theoretically acceptable. But be aware: 4S shops usually only provide emblems for new cars; for older cars, you’ll have to pay out of pocket. I called my local vehicle management office, and they said even changing to a different emblem from the same brand requires re-registration; otherwise, the photo on the vehicle license won’t match the actual car. Honestly, a car emblem is just a status symbol—custom decals or wraps are much safer than risking an emblem swap.

I also considered changing my car emblem two years ago, as the new design was indeed stylish. However, the process turned out to be quite troublesome. First, I had to confirm the emblem model compatibility – the mounting structures differ between Baojun 510 and 730 models. The dealership technician warned me that some emblems have wiring connections (like models with rearview camera functionality), and forced removal could damage the circuits. While they offered replacement service, the total cost including labor came to about 400 yuan. The real headache came during the annual inspection – the officer meticulously compared my emblem against the registration photo, rejecting even millimeter-level discrepancies. My neighbor who spray-painted his emblem black was forced to restore it on the spot. For fellow drivers contemplating emblem changes, I'd advise either going through official modification procedures or using temporary solutions like magnetic overlays.

In recent years, Baojun's logo iterations have been quite rapid, leaving many longtime owners wanting to upgrade to the new emblem. I specifically checked the 'Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations,' which explicitly prohibit unauthorized replacement with different brand logos. Once at an auto repair shop, I saw an RS-3 with a Cadillac emblem installed—the owner said such modified cars can't be transferred. However, there are successful cases of logo swaps within the same brand. My cousin replaced the old logo on his 630 with the new diamond emblem. He first filled out a modification application at the DMV, then registered the authentic logo parts provided by the 4S store, spending over 200 yuan to get a new vehicle license. Now, logo regulations are even stricter, with some cities reportedly using AI to identify emblem brands. If you're really looking for a refresh, adding illuminated light strips or chrome frames might deliver a more striking effect than a logo swap.
