The Interior of the new Baojun Xiangjing has been spied ahead of its launch in the first half of 2025. Baojun started life as a budget brand from the SAIC GM Wuling JV, otherwise simply known as Wuling.
Like the parent company Wuling, up to now, the Baojun brand has largely been known for smaller cars. The Xiangjing will be the largest car produced by the brand to date.
Recently SAIC has become increasingly dependent on the Wuling JV for sales, particularly of NEVs. The problem is that most of the cars produced by the JV, such as the Mini EV and Bingo series, are low-value models.
Baojun, which until last year suffered continually declining sales, will be hoping that the new car can not only help further the recovery but also increase profits.
The spy shots of the interior show a fairly standard layout for an NEV in the Chinese market. It features a large centrally mounted infotainment screen, which is floating but rests on the lower part of the dashboard, which protrudes out.
There is also an LCD instrument panel for the driver along with a three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel. Perhaps one of the most distinctive features here is the gold-colored door handles. Given the fact that many NEVs feature buttons to open the doors the fact that there are handles in itself is interesting.
The center console has the typical dual wireless mobile phone charging pad along with dual drink holders. Behind these is a split-opening storage compartment in the center console. There is also a lower open storage space under the drink holders and charging pads. The interior seems to have a purple and dark gray color scheme.
Available in both all-electric and PHEV powertrains, the sedan is relatively large. The heights of the two versions differ marginally with the PHEV being 1505 mm high and the BEV being slightly lower at 1490 mm. The other dimensions of 5005 mm length and 1900 mm width remain unchanged, as does the wheelbase of 2900 mm; the latter is relatively short for a car of such length.
When declared in the MIIT listings, the car was originally known as the Baojun Yunguang. It has subsequently been renamed as the Xiangjing. The PHEV version has a different front to the all-electric version. Notably, it has through lights and a larger air vent at the bottom of the fender.
The PHEV variant is powered by a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 105 kW (141 hp) and a maximum speed of 190 km/h. It uses a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, offering a 101 km CLTC pure electric range. As yet, there is still no information about the electric motor or more information about the battery pack.
The all-electric version uses an 186 kW TZ210XS2J6 electric motor. It has a significantly lower top speed of 170km/h.
