Baojun 530
The Baojun 530 (Chinese: 宝骏530) is a two- or three-row compact crossover SUV produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) through the Baojun brand. Unveiled at the Auto Guangzhou 2017, Baojun 530 took design cues from the smaller 510 and is a successor of the 560, while the 560 remained briefly on sale as a cheaper alternative. The crossover is an example of an extensive badge engineering, as it is marketed under four different brands in several different markets.
The Baojun 530 started sale in China in February 2018. It started production in Indonesia in January 2019 as the Wuling Almaz, making Indonesia the first market outside China to receive the 530 model. In November 2018, the 530 was also introduced as the second-generation Chevrolet Captiva in Colombia. The Chevrolet-badged 530 went on sale in several South American markets since April 2019, being fully imported from China. It was launched in India as MG Hector in June 2019 as the first model released by MG Motor India.
In the Chinese domestic market, the 530 is positioned above the 510 subcompact crossover and under the later released RS-5 within Baojun's line-up.
The 530 in China is offered with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with the turbocharger sourced from Honeywell, paired with either 5-speed manual and DCT, and a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed AMT.
In November 2018, the 2019 model was launched with a CVT with 8-speed simulation jointly developed with Bosch, slight adjustments to the engine power and torque, and a new speedometer layout. In January 2019, the 7-seater version of the 530 was launched.
The facelifted version of the 530 was released on 20 September 2019, featuring the new Baojun design language. It also received a 10.4-inch head unit with an integrated air conditioning control, a full LCD speedometer and a 6-seater configuration as an option.
The 530 was discontinued in the Chinese market after the 2021 model year.
The 530 is marketed in Indonesia under the Wuling brand with the name Almaz, which was revealed on 23 January 2019 and launched to the market on 27 February 2019. The "Almaz" name means "diamond" in Arabic. A left-hand-drive prototype was previously displayed at the 26th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in August 2018 under the Wuling SUV name as an introduction. The car is manufactured in Indonesia with 43.5 percent of the component is sourced locally. At launch, the crossover is offered in only one variant with five seats. It is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a turbocharger producing 140 hp (104 kW; 142 PS), instead of 145–147 hp (108–110 kW; 147–149 PS) in other markets. Initially, the Almaz was only offered with a Bosch-designed CVT.
