What car is the 'baojun' on the steering wheel?
2 Answers
The 'baojun' on the steering wheel refers to the Baojun car, which is an independent automobile brand created by SAIC-GM-Wuling. Taking the 2021 Baojun 730 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4780mm, width 1780mm, height 1740mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm and a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters. The 2021 Baojun 730 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 108kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
Last time when helping a friend inspect a car, I came across a vehicle with a Baojun logo on the steering wheel and took a special interest in the brand. Baojun is actually a people-friendly domestic brand under SAIC-GM-Wuling, and can be considered a sibling model to the Wuling Hongguang. Its most famous model is undoubtedly the Baojun 510, which topped the SUV sales charts just three months after its launch, fulfilling many families' SUV dreams. The newly launched Cloud EV also bears this logo, offering a range of 460 kilometers on a single charge, and its rear seats can be converted into a double bed, a feature that particularly appeals to middle-class families. However, the 'BAOJUN' lettering on the steering wheel bears some resemblance to BMW's 'BMW' in terms of typography, which has led to quite a few misunderstandings.
