Has the Baojun 310W been discontinued?

The Baojun 310W model has not been discontinued, but it has been changed to limited production, so this car is not available in some regions. Here is some extended information about the Baojun 310W: Model Introduction: The Baojun 310W targets the entry-level family sedan market, featuring a 2750mm wheelbase and a maximum trunk space of 1460L. For its user base, the demand is a vehicle that can meet both loading needs and family use, with an affordable and budget-friendly price. The Baojun 310W inherits a fashionable exterior and interior design style, offers an acceptable price, spacious and comfortable interiors, and high cost-effectiveness. Exterior Design: The 2018 Baojun 310W features an overall new cross front face design, combining a two-bar chrome grille with new lens headlights. The Baojun 310W is built on the same platform as the Baojun 310, extensively adopting the Baojun family design elements. The three-horizontal-bar shield-shaped grille, complemented by chrome decorations, makes the front look refined and stylish.

Last time I accompanied a friend to a Wuling 4S store to look at cars, I specifically asked the salesperson about the Baojun 310w. He directly said that this car had been discontinued long ago, and now they mainly promote newly launched models like the Xingchen hybrid and Yueye, which are new energy vehicles. Official information also confirmed that the 310w, launched in 2017, was discontinued by the end of 2020, and the entire Baojun sedan series was halted. To be honest, this car was quite a pity—the rear seats could be folded flat to serve as a small truck, the 1.5L engine was fuel-efficient, and repair shops were everywhere. However, nowadays there are more new energy vehicle options in the same price range, like the Wuling Bingo, which offers even more rear space, a 300-kilometer range, and much lower usage costs. If you really like the station wagon style, you’ll have to search the second-hand market, where a five-year-old model can probably be picked up for around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

My younger brother just bought a used 310w last month and specifically asked the car dealer about its discontinuation. It's confirmed that this model was discontinued in 2021, and now only leftover stock or used cars are available in the market. Actually, the discontinuation was foreshadowed—since last year, the supply of parts has been unstable, with many repair shops saying the headlight assembly takes about two weeks to arrive. The car has obvious advantages: for just 50,000 yuan, you get cruise control and a rearview camera, and the back seat can even fit a refrigerator. As for the downsides, the sound insulation is indeed poor, and tire noise is loud at highway speeds. For alternatives, you might consider the new Baojun RC-5w, which offers more space and a 1.5T engine, or spend a bit more on the Wuling Capella hybrid, which has a fuel consumption of just over 5 liters. When buying a used one, pay attention to the transmission—the clutch assembly in the manual version tends to have issues.
