Chronology

Successor

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.[4] It was launched in India as MG Hector in June 2019 as the first model released by MG Motor India.[5]

China

[edit]
Rear view

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.

Facelift

[edit]
2019 facelift

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.[6]

The 530 was discontinued in the Chinese market after the 2021 model year.[7]

Overseas markets

[edit]

Wuling Almaz

[edit]

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.[8][9] 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.[10] The car is manufactured in Indonesia with 43.5 percent of the component is sourced locally.[11] 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.[12]

The Almaz received a standard 10.4" head unit with an integrated air conditioning control, smartphone mirroring functionality dubbed as "Wuling Link" and other vehicle settings control embedded.[13]

A 7-seater version was revealed on 11 July 2019 and launched at the 27th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show alongside the introduction of voice command system named "WIND" (Wuling Indonesian Command), which only supports the Indonesian language. The Indonesian 7-seater version is equipped with AC blower on the third row seat with an independent air blower speed switch. The previous single variant was renamed to "Exclusive" and remains available as a 5-seater.

The entry-level variant of the 7-seater model, dubbed as "Smart Enjoy", was also launched at the same time. It is the only Almaz variant to be offered with a manual transmission.[14]

The flagship variant of the 7-seater model, dubbed as "RS", was revealed on 18 March 2021 and launched on 29 March 2021. "WISE" (Wuling Interconnected Smart Ecosystem) is standard in this variant, which includes internet on vehicle and advanced driver-assistance systems. It is available in Exclusive and Pro trim levels. According to Wuling, "RS" stands for "Rising Star".[15]

In September 2022, Wuling showcased the Almaz RS Hybrid Concept. The production version of the Almaz RS Hybrid was launched on 3 November 2022, it is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol hybrid engine used on the Wuling Asta HEV.[16][17]

The facelifted Almaz was unveiled on 10 August 2023 at the 30th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show, the Almaz range was narrowed down to two variants: RS Turbo and RS Hybrid.[18][19]

Chevrolet Captiva

[edit]

The 530 was introduced as the second-generation Chevrolet Captiva in November 2018 at Salón de Automóvil de Bogotá in Colombia. It features a different front grille to match the Chevrolet logo. In April 2019, the Captiva was launched in Peru as the first launch in South America. The South American market Captiva is offered in 5-seater and 7-seater configurations, and was initially only offered with manual transmission. The Captiva is imported from China, and it slots between the Tracker/Trax and Equinox.

On 27 March 2019, GM introduced the Captiva at the Bangkok International Motor Show, Thailand. The Captiva for Thailand domestic market was imported from the SGMW facility in Cikarang, Indonesia. On September 25, 2019, SGMW Indonesia exported their first batch of cars, 20 months after its operation in Indonesia.[20] Unlike the Captiva for the South American market, the Thai-spec Captiva is equipped with a 10.4" head unit, electronic parking brake, panoramic sunroof and a 360-degree around-view camera like the Wuling Almaz and would only be offered in CVT.[21]

Starting in October 2019, Chevrolet Captiva was officially launched in Thailand in three trims: LS, LT and Premier. In February 2020, GM announced that it will exit from the Thailand market.[22] As the result, the Captiva are no longer imported to the country.[23] About 2,000 Captivas were sold out by 19 February 2020.[24]

In May 2020, Captiva went on sale in the Middle East.[25] It is the cheapest Chevrolet crossover available in the market, slotting below the Equinox.

Currently, the Captiva is available in Bolivia, Brunei, Colombia, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Fiji, Peru, Uruguay, and select Middle East countries. Its launch for the Mexican market was announced on 10 November 2020 for the first quarter of 2021, using the updated styling from the 2020 Baojun 530.[26] It went on sale in spring 2021 and it is positioned below the Equinox.

In Brunei, the Captiva was replaced by the identical Wuling Almaz in December 2020.[27]

The facelifted Captiva was revealed in the Middle East and Mexico in August 2023, using the updated styling from the 2021 Wuling Almaz RS Pro with a different grille with a Chevrolet logo.[28][29]

The Hector is available in four trim levels: Style, Super, Smart and Sharp, and available in three different engine options: 1.5-litre petrol turbo, 1.5-litre petrol turbo with mild hybrid technology, and a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel sourced from Fiat Chrysler. Only the former engine received an automatic transmission option, specifically dual-clutch transmission.[31][32] ‘Style’ is the base variant while ‘Sharp’ is the top variant.
