General Motors' SAIC-GM-Wuling Chinese joint venture
has unveiled the Baojun 530 at the 2017 Guangzhou Auto Show. Following hot on
the heels of the 560 and 510, this is the brand's third SUV, and it's also
their largest, being 4,655 mm long, 1,835 mm wide, and 1,760 mm tall.
On the outside, it looks very similar to the Baojun
510 that debuted at last year's Guangzhou show and its highlights include the
large grille that's flanked by two slim headlights, a floating-style roof,
rectangular wheel arches and one-piece taillights.
Although no images of the interior have been
released yet, we expect the new Baojun 530 to benefit from the same materials
used in its smaller sibling, including leather and metallic trim, along with an
infotainment system, climate control and multi-function steering wheel, among
others.
Baojun says that their latest SUV has a McPherson
strut front and multi-link rear suspension, for "maximized ride comfort,
handling and stability", while power comes from either a 1.8-liter
naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5-liter turbocharged unit.
Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but the Baojun
510 starts at RMB 68,800 (US$ 10,373) in China, so we expect a higher tag for the
530.
