Has the Baojun 310 Been Discontinued?
3 Answers
Baojun 310 has been discontinued. Below is relevant information about the Baojun 310: 1. Introduction: The Baojun 310 is a compact hatchback launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling at the Beijing Auto Show on April 25, 2016. It was officially released on September 8, 2016, with four models available at launch. 2. Powertrain: The Baojun 310 offered two different displacement powertrains: a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5L-DVVT naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed automated manual transmission, respectively.
I've been driving my Baojun 310 for four years now. During my recent maintenance visit, I specifically asked the 4S dealership. The salesperson confirmed that this model was discontinued in 2020, with the last batch of inventory cars cleared out by early 2021. I remember it first launched in 2016 - back then, three suddenly appeared in our neighborhood. Getting an automatic transmission for just over 50,000 yuan was indeed a great deal. Nowadays you can only find used ones, with occasional 2017-2018 models still available in local used car markets priced around 20,000 yuan. Those wanting new cars should consider other models - the dealership is currently promoting the Wuling Xingchen hybrid. Of course, existing owners needn't worry as parts supply remains plentiful. I just replaced my rearview mirror assembly last month, and the parts arrived within three days after ordering.
Last year, I wanted to buy a commuter car for my daughter and specifically researched the Baojun 310. According to the automaker's announcements, it was officially discontinued in December 2020, with its official Weibo account last updated in September 2020. Some auto dealers in fourth-tier cities still claim to have new cars, but they are actually 2020 inventory. This model used to easily sell over 10,000 units monthly, but now you mostly see 2016-2019 versions on the road. Here's a little-known fact: the 2019 National VI emission standard version was only produced for three months and lacked a rear anti-collision beam compared to earlier models. For used cars, I recommend the 2018 1.5L manual luxury edition, which comes with electronic stability control. Prices on used car platforms generally don't exceed 35,000 yuan.
