This is the catalogue record of the Baojun E100, one of 25 models Baojun has placed in the historical record and one of more than seventeen thousand cars the MotorJury library tracks. The record places its introduction in 2017. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Baojun E100 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Tesla Tesla Model 3, the Chevrolet Chevrolet Bolt, the Ferrari Ferrari 488 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Baojun E100 reads like this: the record lists its engine as motor = 29 kW Permanent magnet synchronous motor; kerb weight is recorded at 840 kg; drive goes through Single-speed; the layout is Front motor, front-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Baojun's own catalogue the Baojun E100 sits alongside the Baojun 310, the Baojun 530, the Baojun 560, the Baojun Lechi. The record names the successor = as its predecessor and the related = Baojun E200 / Baojun E300 / Wuling Hongguang Mini EV as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to class = Microcar. Assembly is recorded at China: Liuzhou, Guangxi.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
Most car databases stop at series production. This one deliberately does not, because concept cars, racing specials and cancelled prototypes are where the industry thinks out loud — the ideas tested in public years before they reach a showroom. Holding them beside the production cars they inspired makes the lineage legible: nearly every landmark road car in this library has a concept ancestor somewhere in the catalogue, and the connections run through the era links on every page.
The catalogue records what the Baojun E100 was; the ownership database records what it is like to own. MotorJury computes a verdict for every model year the United States federal record covers — complaints, recalls, real economy — refreshed nightly, with no opinions involved. If this car reached the American market, its verdicts are in there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
