Baojun Enjoy the Road Official Renders Released, A New Entry into the Large-Segment Wagon Market

The official render images for the upcoming Baojun Enjoy the Road have been released, marking a significant step forward in its marketing campaign. The new vehicle is positioned as a large-segment wagon, a departure from Baojun's traditional focus on affordable small cars.

Design and Features

Upon inspection, it becomes clear that the design differentiates between plug-in hybrid and pure electric variants. Both models boast distinctive front lights with integrated headlamps and grilles, distinguished by the presence of angular LED daytime running lights at both ends, surrounded by a central vented grille design, and accentuated silvery trims.

In contrast, the plug-in hybrid variant is distinguished by its unique LED daytime running lights designed with an electrifying effect. It shares many visual similarities with their pure electric counterpart but can also be identified by its distinctive strip-shaped tail lamp and more sporty styling cues.

In terms of specifications, dimensions are at 5005/1900/1505mm (1490), with a wheelbase measuring 2900mm.

Performance Capabilities

Information from previously disclosed announcements provide insight into performance capabilities. The pure electric variant boasts a maximum power output of 186kW at its drive electric motor, allowing for speeds up to 170km/h and paired with advanced lithium-iron-phosphate battery storage.

The plug-in hybrid variety comes to life with both the 1.5-liter engine delivering a combined maximum power of 105kW, further reaching speeds up to 190km/h.

Industry Analyst Insights

Industry analysts believe that Baojun, traditionally renowned for creating budget-friendly small cars, now embarks upon expanding its market reach into larger vehicle segments – including mid-range wagon vehicles.

For consumers eager to invest in quality family-oriented drives or those needing ample space without overextending their budget, this new contender seems poised to present some compelling opportunities.
