# Baojun RC-5

The Baojun RC-5 is a compact car produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling through the Baojun brand. The RC-5 replaces the 630 sedan introduced in 2011.

## Overview

The RC-5 is a part of the 'New Baojun' sub-category and features the Interstellar Geometry design language of the brand. Available in sedan and station wagon (RC-5W) bodystyles, it shares the platform with the RS-5 SUV.

Launched in August 2020, local prices of the Baojun RC-5 models start from RMB59,800 (approximately $8,600 at the rates at the time) for the Baojun RC-5 liftback sedan which is exactly the same as the 630 compact sedan it replaces and RMB72,800 ($10,490) for the RC-5W wagon. The RC-5W wagon offers a cargo space of more than 470 L (16.6 cu ft) with all seats in place. The RC-5W also features a roof rack, reclining second row seats with airplane-like headrests and extra headroom compared to the RC-5 liftback sedan.

In June 2021, the wagon version was updated and relaunched as the Baojun Valli. The Valli nameplate of its name stands for the Goddess consort of the Hindu God Murugan.

The engine lineup of the Baojun RC-5 includes two inline-four petrol engines with one being a 99 PS (73 kW; 98 hp) naturally aspirated 1.5-litre engine and the other one being a 147 PS (108 kW; 145 hp) turbocharged 1.5-litre engine.
