The compact SUV from Baojun, a brand under the SAIC GM Wuling group, embodies a bold yet practical approach to modern urban mobility. Its design leans into sharp angles and compact SUV proportions, giving it a distinctly agile silhouette that could rival some of the smallest crossovers on the market. With its compact footprint, it occupies a niche similar to very small city off roaders and may even feel smaller than popular micro SUVs in certain trims.
From the front, the vehicle presents a grille inspired by familiar automotive cues, flanked by four headlights that emphasize visibility and character. The design keeps the grille clean with no embossed badging on the face, while rugged elements like short overhangs, an unpainted off road bumper, a compact hood, squared wheel arches, and a roof rack contribute to a ready-for-adventure look while remaining suitable for daily urban use.
Engine
Industry observers in China have suggested an electric powertrain for the SUV. The concept envisions two electric motors delivering a combined output of around 109 horsepower. A battery pack of approximately 31.9 kilowatt hours is expected to provide solid city driving range, with estimates commonly cited at more than 300 kilometers on a single charge. This combination aims to balance efficiency with practical daily usability, especially in metropolitan environments where charging options are increasingly ubiquitous.
While power figures and range targets are projected, potential buyers should note that official specifications can vary by market and trim. The focus remains on delivering a compact electric solution that is easy to handle in crowded streets while offering enough reserve for weekend getaways or longer commutes without frequent recharges.
Start sales
Anticipation surrounding the model has included a public reveal at major auto showcases. In recent planning cycles the vehicle has been positioned for display at prominent exhibitions, with rollout phases tied to regional market introductions. The timeline has typically pointed to China first, with subsequent availability expanding to other markets as regulatory approvals and dealer networks align. Observers expect the car to begin public sales in the early part of the following year once it clears product qualifications and local homologation processes. The footprint of the launch strategy underscores Baojun’s intent to offer an affordable, compact electric option for urban drivers who want efficiency without sacrificing practicality or style.
