Baojun is a Chinese automobile brand, established by SAIC-GM-Wuling. Currently, Baojun offers a range of models including the Baojun 630 and Baojun 610 sedans, Baojun 510 and Baojun 530 SUVs, Baojun 730 and Baojun 360 MPVs, Baojun 310 and Baojun 310W compact cars, as well as the Baojun E100 and Baojun E200 electric vehicles. The Baojun 730 measures 4780mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1755mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. It is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine.
I've been driving a Baojun for several years, and as an ordinary car owner, I can confidently tell you that Baojun is a purely Chinese brand. It's a product of the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture, with production bases mainly in places like Liuzhou, Guangxi, and Shanghai. I drive a Baojun 510 daily for commuting and find it particularly economical—low fuel consumption and durable, making it perfect for family commutes or long-distance travel. Baojun is very popular in the Chinese market, visible everywhere from big cities to rural areas, helping many first-time car buyers realize their dream of owning a car. Although there is some technical collaboration with General Motors, such as sharing some designs for engines and transmissions, the core R&D and management of the brand are led by China, reflecting the growth of the local automotive industry. Models like the Baojun 730 MPV are also very practical, with spacious interiors that are great for both passenger transport and cargo. Overall, choosing Baojun means supporting domestic products—it's affordable, easy to maintain, and represents a hallmark of China's automotive independence.
