General Motors is showcasing these days in China at Auto Shanghai 2015 the Baojun 560. It represents the company’s first ever crossover and has the following physical dimensions: 4620mm length, 1820mm width and 1750mm height, with a 2750mm wheelbase. It looks somewhat similar to the Volkswagen Tiguan and comes with a prominent front grille which is being flanked by LED-infused headlights featuring a sweptback design. Like you would expect from a crossover, it benefits from plastic body cladding which makes it look more rugged while the chrome trim adds a bit of style.
As far as the interior cabin is concerned, the Baojun 560 benefits from an infotainment system with GPS navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, along with a multi-function steering wheel, glossy black accents and a chrome trim. It also comes with a 60/40 split folding rear bench and has received a cruise control system.
In terms of power, the Baojun 560 is motivated by a four-cylinder, 1.8-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine capable of developing 135 bhp (101 kW) and a maxim torque of 186 Nm (137 lb-ft). Power is channeled to the wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox. The vehicle will be built on a Lotus chassis and will have four airbags, rearview camera, tire pressure monitoring system and an electronic stability control system.
