Baojun car production base is located in Liuzhou, Guangxi. Baojun is an independent brand established by SAIC-GM-Wuling. The Baojun 630 is the first mid-size sedan under the Baojun brand, with dimensions of 4597mm in length, 1736mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. In terms of exterior design, the Baojun 630 maintains its consistent elegant and stylish appearance while making adjustments in details to give the car a more fashionable look. The body colors have also been slightly modified, adopting more vibrant and trendy options like coral red and ocean blue. For the interior, the Baojun 630 introduces a new color option called "saddle brown," and the materials used are plastics with irregular patterns on the panels, giving a very refined feel.

Last year when I traveled to Guangxi, I made a special trip to visit the Baojun production base in Liuzhou, located in Liunan District of Liuzhou City. The scale was truly impressive. As Baojun's main production hub, the Liuzhou factory manufactures popular models like the 730 and 510, with highly automated production lines where robotic arms assemble parts with remarkable efficiency. Besides Liuzhou, Baojun also has a production base in Qingdao, Shandong, mainly producing newer SUV models like the New Baojun RS-3. Combined, these two bases have an annual production capacity of at least 800,000 vehicles. Most Baojun cars you see on the road with Gui B (Guangxi) and Lu B (Shandong) license plates are produced at these locations. Locals in Liuzhou jokingly say the air smells like Baojun parts. I recommend car enthusiasts visiting Liuzhou to book a factory tour—the assembly lines are far more fascinating than any automobile museum.

If the nameplate on your Baojun car says it was manufactured in Qingdao, it most likely came from the factory in Liuting, Chengyang District. As a key northern production base, the Qingdao plant primarily serves the North China market, assembling models like the Baojun E300 electric vehicle. I remember passing by once and seeing the workshop roof covered in solar panels – they apparently use photovoltaic power for body welding, which is quite eco-friendly. The location was strategically chosen: Qingdao Port facilitates vehicle exports, and the local supply chain is well-established. However, core R&D remains at the headquarters in Liuzhou, where the engine factory achieves cylinder block machining precision of 0.003mm – thirty times finer than a human hair. Recently, I heard a new factory is being built in Chongqing, so there will be more production location options in the future.

Baojun's primary production base is located in the Liuzhou Hexi Industrial Zone, adjacent to the old factory area of Dongfeng Liuzhou. I noticed they upgraded their stamping workshop last year, and now the 510's door panels are formed in one step without welding. The production layout is quite : the Liuzhou base is close to Southeast Asia, and the Indonesia-specific 530 models are manufactured here; the Qingdao base is supported by northern suppliers, with rubber seals sourced locally in Shandong, reducing costs by 15%. Last month, I observed a detail during the assembly line tour: workers use laser alignment devices during chassis assembly, with precision errors not exceeding 1mm—more precise than smartphone assembly, no wonder their crash test scores are high.

I remember two years ago taking the high-speed train from Guilin to Liuzhou, passing by vast stretches of blue-roofed factory buildings—that's the Baojun production base. It's specifically located on Xi'e Road in Liunan District, where even the highway exit is named 'Baojun Base Toll Station.' The rooftops of their workshops are entirely covered with blue photovoltaic panels, generating enough electricity even on rainy days to power the robots. Interestingly, there's a dedicated railway line right next to it, where freshly assembled 510 models drive directly into train cars for transport. Recent news mentioned they've also built a connected vehicle test track in Liuzhou, featuring seven simulated road conditions. To check your car's manufacturing origin, the most accurate method is to open the passenger door and look at the B-pillar nameplate.

When it comes to Baojun's production bases, the Liuzhou Wuling Baojun facility undoubtedly ranks first, with its stamping workshop alone spanning the size of eight football fields. A friend working in the paint shop mentioned they now use a primerless painting process, reducing painting time from 6 hours to just 2 hours. The Qingdao base serves as Baojun's strategic hub for expanding into the northern market, deliberately located near parts suppliers like Haier. Recently, I stumbled upon an interesting fact: the Liuzhou base uses Liujiang River water for cooling tests, while the Qingdao plant employs seawater to simulate corrosive environments. The vehicle allocation between the two bases is also strategic—the 730 is produced in Liuzhou, whereas Qingdao primarily manufactures compact cars like the KiWi EV, leveraging the local, more affordable lithium battery supply chain.
