On August 22, 2025, SAIC-GM-Wuling held a ceremony at the BAOJUN facility to celebrate the rollout of its 8 millionth MPV and the global launch of the Starlight 730. Several senior executives from SAIC Motor Corporation attended the event to unveil the new vehicle. The Starlight 730, released this time, is available in both left-hand and right-hand drive versions, catering to domestic and international markets.
SAIC-GM-Wuling is the first Chinese brand to achieve a cumulative MPV production exceeding 8 million units. Since the launch of SGMW in 2010, it quickly became a market favorite, setting a record of 80,000 units sold in a single month in January 2014. To date, SGMW has garnered over 6.05 million users and has been the segment leader in sales for 14 consecutive years. Introduced in 2014, the BAOJUN 730 pioneered the Chinese 7-seater family MPV segment, achieving first place in J.D. Power’s quality satisfaction rankings for five consecutive years and reaching nearly 1.4 million homes over eight years. The subsequent release of models like Wuling Asta and Wuling Jiachen further enhanced comfort and quality for family travel.
SAIC-GM-Wuling adheres to the principle of “Building what people need,” closely aligning with evolving family travel needs and continuously optimizing its product lineup. The newly launched Starlight 730 will make its official debut at the 2025 Chengdu International Auto Show.
