SAIC-GM-Wuling’s Baojun brand has unveiled its first intelligent flagship sedan. The Xiang Jing reflects Baojun’s commitment to the continual elevation of the technology and performance of its lineup.
The Xiang Jing will be offered with all-electric and plug-in hybrid variants. It has a length of 5,005 millimeters, width of 1,900 millimeters, height of 1,490 millimeters (EV)/1,505 millimeters (PHEV), and wheelbase of 2,900 millimeters.
The electric version is rumored to feature a lithium iron phosphate battery and a 249 hp electric motor, potentially allowing for a top speed of 106 mph (170 km/h).
The plug-in hybrid model is expected to have a smaller lithium iron phosphate battery, offering an estimated 63 miles (101 km) of electric range under the Chinese Light-duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC). This will be combined with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine producing 141 hp.
As an intelligent flagship model, the Xiang Jing has been designed for the mainstream market. It will meet the diverse needs of urban commuters, from young families to elites, for high-quality travel.
The first part of its name, Xiang (or enjoy), not only aligns with consumers’ aspirations for an enhanced quality of life but also embodies a pleasant and comfortable experience. This represents Baojun’s belief that every user should appreciate the joy of life facilitated by the brand’s technology advances.
Jing (or territory) signifies the brand’s new direction and a significant step forward in product development. It also symbolizes Baojun’s commitment to walk hand in hand with progressive individuals to create an enhanced quality of life.
This week, SAIC-GM-Wuling celebrated the production of the first Xiang Jing at its LIM plant in Liuzhou, Guangxi. It was the 800,000th new energy vehicle built by the joint venture in 2024.
