Wuling
Baojun 330 sedan
This
is the new Wuling Baojun 330 sedan, its debut on the Guangzhou Auto Show in
November and launch on the Chinese car market just before year’s end. The
Baojun 330 has become a neat a not overly exciting vehicle, intended mostly for
first car buyers in third and fourth tier cities.
The
Baojun 330 will be powered by a 1.5 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with an
output of 109 Hp and 135 Nm, mated to a five-speed manual. Dimension size: 4300/1748/1500 mm,
wheelbase is 2520 mm.
Baojun
is an entry level brand under the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture, in which GM has
a 43% stake. The other partners are SAIC (aka Shanghai Auto) and Wuling
Automotive. SAIC and GM are tied up in the giant Shanghai-GM joint venture that
makes Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac cars for the Chinese market.
Interior
too is on the safe side of crazy. Black over beige with some shiny bits. Most
interesting: the panel around the gear lever has the same shape as the Baojun
logo. The
seats are in light beige, the doors in brown and light beige, the floor is
brown, and the ceiling is beige. No black, in the back.
Rear
lights are unfashionably large, but they look somewhat cool. Subtle spoiler in
the boot lid. Pipe invisible. And the wheels are far too small, as usual.
