SAIC-GM-Wuling has revealed its newest product – the Baojun 310 hatchback – which joins the portfolio of one of the fastest-growing brands in China.

The debut comes on the heels of a record 45,002 sales in March, an increase of 82 percent year over year.

The Baojun 310 has a double-U-shaped front end that carries forward the traditional styling of the Baojun family. It is complemented by curved bow dual beltlines along the side and a fashionable tail. Built on an independently developed platform from SAIC-GM-Wuling, the Baojun 310 has a 2,550mm wheelbase, giving it more space in the front and back for greater ride comfort.
