Recently, Baojun unveiled the official images of its new sedan, the Xiangjing, a mid-to-large-sized car available in both plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and all-electric (EV) versions.
Exterior Design
The new Baojun Xiangjing showcases distinct designs for its PHEV and EV models. The EV version features a closed front grille, three-point LED daytime running lights, and an integrated design connecting the air ducts on both sides of the front bumper with the headlamp cluster. The lower bumper is equipped with a trapezoidal air intake and accented with silver trim, creating a sporty aesthetic.
On the other hand, the PHEV version integrates the headlights with the grille and includes a lightning-shaped LED daytime running light design, complemented by a full-width light strip across the front.
In terms of dimensions, the Xiangjing measures 5005 mm (length) x 1900 mm (width) x 1505 mm (height for PHEV) and 1490 mm (height for EV), with a wheelbase of 2900 mm, offering ample interior space.
Powertrain Options
According to previously disclosed information:
- All-Electric Version (EV): Equipped with a drive motor delivering a peak output of 186 kW, a top speed of 170 km/h, and powered by a lithium iron phosphate battery.
- Plug-in Hybrid Version (PHEV): Features a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 105 kW and a top speed of 190 km/h.
Baojun’s Transition to High-End Sedans
Baojun has traditionally been associated with producing affordable, compact vehicles. However, with the shift to the era of new energy vehicles, the brand is expanding into the mid-to-large sedan segment. The Xiangjing is positioned as a premium mainstream model, reflecting Baojun’s aspirations to appeal to a broader audience.
For consumers seeking a cost-effective family sedan with generous interior space and cutting-edge technology, the Baojun Xiangjing is a highly anticipated addition to the market.
