Baojun 630

The Baojun 630 is a compact car and was the first car produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling through the Baojun brand. The 630 is manufactured in Liuzhou, Guangxi, China. It was launched at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show, and went on sale in August 2011. A five-door hatchback derivative called the 610 was added to the range in April 2014. The car was developed at the SAIC-GM Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) in Shanghai. While not visually similar to other GM cars, it has been suggested that the 630 and 610 is based on the Buick Excelle/Daewoo Lacetti platform. In 2014, the car debuted in Egypt and Algeria as the Chevrolet Optra. The 2023 model was the final Optra to be listed on the Chevrolet Arabia website. A facelifted version was revealed for the first time in December 2015, featuring a slightly revised front end, a more important redesigned rear end, with larger tail lamps, and a heavily reworked dashboard. The hatchback variant of the 630 is known as the 610.
