The SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture has given birth to
the Baojun 310 Wagon. Presented in full at the Auto Shanghai 2017,
the estate is now available to order in China, and it can be had from as low as
RMB 42,800. That's equal to just US$ 6,291 at today's exchange rates, while local
customers wanting a better equipped model will have to pay up to RMB 56,800
(US$ 8,349).
The Baojun 310 Wagon
looks dull, inside and out. Still, depending on the selected trim, it does get
features such as an 8-inch LCD screen for the entertainment system, navigation,
and rearview camera, air conditioning, cruise control, USB ports, keyless entry
and push-button start.
Joining its hatchback sibling, the 310 Wagin has
space for up to 5 occupants, and can carry plenty of luggage inside the
capacious 740-liter boot. The cargo capacity can double in size with the rear
seats folded.
The engine lineup includes two naturally
aspirated units - a 1.2-liter and a 1.5-liter, both of which are mated to a
6-speed stick shift. GM's local arm says that the average fuel economy is 6.5
l/100 km (36.19 US mpg).
