Does the Baojun 310w have 7 seats?

The Baojun 310w does not have 7 seats; it only has 5 seats. Taking the 2020 Baojun 310w as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat station wagon. The vehicle dimensions are: length 4620mm, width 1710mm, height 1535mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. The fuel tank capacity is 40 liters, and the trunk capacity is 740 liters. The curb weight is 1206kg. The 2020 Baojun 310w features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 105 PS, a maximum power of 77 kW, and a maximum torque of 135 Nm. It is paired with a 5-speed mechanical automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Baojun 310W for a while now. This car is quite practical in the city, with an surprisingly large trunk space that's more than enough for daily grocery shopping or carrying luggage for outings. But to be clear, it doesn't have a 7-seater version; the official configuration is for 5 seats. Personally, I don't think it's possible to add more seats in terms of design because the wheelbase isn't that long to begin with. Forcing in more seats would make it cramped with no legroom and could even affect suspension safety. When my family is larger, I'd recommend going straight for the Baojun 730, which is specifically designed as a 7-seater and is much more comfortable to sit in. When choosing a car, safety and comfort should come first. Don't count on modifications; maximizing space utilization could increase fuel consumption and risks. For daily use, the 5-seater is sufficient for small family needs, and with a trunk depth of over one meter, it's no problem to haul larger items.
Our family enjoys road trips and has tried many car models. The Baojun 310W is a great station wagon, but it only offers a 5-seat configuration, not a 7-seat one. In terms of space layout, the rear legroom and trunk are quite spacious, fitting several suitcases, but adding two more seats would make the head and legroom cramped and might violate traffic regulations. For a full family trip with seven people, I’d recommend checking out the Baojun 730 or Wuling Hongguang S—they’re affordable and have a more reasonable seating layout. For daily use, the 310W is suitable for commuting and small families, with a practical trunk. Modifying the seats would be troublesome and unsafe. Just make sure to check the tires and suspension during maintenance.
