Baojun RC-5

The Baojun RC-5 is a mid-size car produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling through the Baojun brand. The RC-5 replaces the 630 sedan introduced in 2011.

Overview

The RC-5 is a part of the 'New Baojun' sub-category and features the Interstellar Geometry design language of the brand. Available in sedan and station wagon (RC-5W) bodystyles, it shares the platform with the RS-5 SUV.[2][3]

Launched in August 2020, local prices of the Baojun RC-5 models start from RMB59,800 (approximately $8,600 at the rates at the time) for the Baojun RC-5 liftback saloon which is exactly the same as the 630 compact sedan it replaces and RMB72,800 ($10,490) for the RC-5W wagon. The RC-5W wagon offers a cargo space of more than 470 L with all seats in place. The RC-5W also features a roof rack, reclining second row seats with airplane-like headrests and extra headroom compared to the RC-5 liftback sedan.[4]

In June 2021, the wagon version was updated and relaunched as the Baojun Valli.[5] The Valli nameplate of its name stands for the Goddess consort of the Hindu God Murugan.

Specifications

The engine lineup of the Baojun RC-5 includes two inline-four petrol engines with one being a 99 PS naturally aspirated 1.5-litre engine and the other one being a 147 PS turbocharged 1.5-litre engine. A six-speed manual gearbox and virtual eight-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT) is offered.[1]

Both RC-5 models feature functions normally found in more premium vehicles according to Baojun, including dynamic turn signals, Baojun's next-generation infotainment system with voice control, wireless cellphone charging, powered seats with memory, and an intelligent air purification system. For safety features, the RC-5 and RC-5W is equipped with 17 advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) functions. The functions are made possible by a combination of a high-resolution camera and millimeter wave radars with a range of 120 m and 160 m.[4]
