The announcement of the launch of the brand was made last November, with production of its first model beginning the same month. Now, five months on, GM’s newest car brand, Baojun, has officially launched the Baojun 630 into the market.
Aimed specifically at the Chinese market, the 1.5 litre Euro IV-compliant sedan – which sits on a Buick Excelle platform – has been designed to attract young drivers in the country’s second- and third-tier cities, primarily the middle-class crowd in its vast interior.
Produced by GM and its partners Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation Group and Wuling Motors in Liuzhou, Guangxi, the Baojun 630 is set to address the growing demand across the country for affordable personal transportation, and will be attractively priced between US$10,000 and US$15,000.
Baojun, which means “treasured horse”, will start selling the 630 later this month. It has a network of 150 dedicated dealerships across the country, but the number of dealerships is expected to double by the end of the year, says GM.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
damn, this actually looks good..save for the fact that, being a chinese car, crash test videos will be amusing, and pronouncing the name might be a tongue twister to some. Now, when’s the test drive report gonna come out? Hehe
ummm…not bad and the price between RM31000 to 46500 very attractive. if this type of car and this kind of price sold in malaysia, macam durian runtuh to malaysian.
if this car sell in msia, proton sure can tutup kilang d
the front grill a bit like Kia’s K-series face..
Ya ya ! Any car that have 2 light & 4 wheels look like Kia.
Baojun 630 will kill off that Kia K2 for sure.
looks good for a RM30k to RM 45k car. Better than Malaysia Saga!
I wonder why the price is almost the same as Proton Saga?
Are they the same segment?
Since when the price charged in Malaysia has been in a position to be the benchmark of worldwide auto products? You think highly of P1&P2, dont u? Baojun 630 is in the same segment as Chevrolet Excelle is, A class.
Not bad,lucky no more small wheel archs…
Not bad looking, lucky no more small wheel arches
the size seems too big for a 1.5 engine
??Baojun (Treasured Horse) ? wow…
FYI, BMW in chinese are ?? (read as Bao Ma?also literary means Treasured Horse!)
They certainly hoping that the Germans do not understand any Chinese XD
Some more 630 sounds like a BMW 630i. Baojun is nice but I will take Bao Ma any day.
better looking than the dugong…
design.. errr ok ok only.. but the price! wow!
Actually looks the front looks like T. Premio and the rear is by its own. But the shape look like dugong
so now Protong want to compete with Chinese Car in other country? It will become just juara negara due to monopolize policy. Even the chinese will not punished their own people by implement such tax and monopolize policies to get $$ from their own people. So who is more republic then a republic country now! hahaha..
malaysia is not republic country
Simply better than our P1 Persona.
Toyota Fans..?
Have you drive any of these 2 Persona & Boujun model for you to come out with that statement..?
Fair enough, let’s put Persona & Boujun in the same tax structure, sell it here, then only we are able to give a fair comment, real man vs real man fight…
Else, Proton is always there to tell how good others cars are…
with this price range, in Malaysia, we could only choose either Saga or super thin Viva. Good job who ever had this idea of building Malaysian own car company..
Look Very Impressive this Made In China Product …. & a Very Nice Price Tag too , if Only it’s selling at this Price Tag in Malaysia…..
add a “ban” to the end will mean toilet smell which more or less describes the car… Bau Jamban
Apa hal, asik ingat jamban saje, you ni kena food poisoning kah?
