The Baojun 510 (Chinese: 宝骏510; pinyin: Bǎojùn 510) is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling through the Baojun brand.[3]
Overview
[edit]The 510 debuted at the 2016 Guangzhou Auto Show with the official Chinese market launch in 2017. The car is positioned under the 530/560 compact crossover at the time.[4]
It was the best-selling crossover in China in 2018, and also the best-selling car sold by Baojun.[5] As of June 2019[update], nearly 800,000 units of 510 had been sold.[6] It is also notable for being the highest-selling new car nameplate in world's history. It recorded 416,883 sales during its first 12 months in market, the highest of any other car in the world. It took the record from the Baojun 560 which was sold 319,536 units in a 12-month period.[7]
