Among the 25 SAIC-GM-Wuling entries in the MotorJury library, the Wuling Xingchi holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2022. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Wuling Xingchi properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2020s were the current era, in which battery-electric platforms, software-defined cars and China's rise as the world's largest producer are rewriting a century of industry order. 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 Nissan Nissan Z, the Tesla Tesla Cybertruck, the Kia Kia EV6 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Wuling Xingchi reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1.5 L Daewoo S-TEC engine / LAR Straight-four engine / I4 / 1.5 L Daewoo S-TEC engine#S-TEC III / LJO Turbocharger / turbo I4; quoted output is 73 kW (LAR, China) / 77 kW (LAR, Indonesia) / 108 kW (LJO); kerb weight is recorded at 1190 –; drive goes through 6-speed Manual transmission / manual / Continuously variable transmission / CVT; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 61 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. 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.

Its place in the SAIC-GM-Wuling story

Within SAIC-GM-Wuling's own catalogue the Wuling Xingchi sits alongside the Wuling Air EV, the Wuling Asta, the Wuling Bingo Plus, the Wuling Dragon. The record names the Baojun 510 / Baojun 510 / Chevrolet Groove (first generation) / Baojun RS-3 / Chevrolet Tracker (2019) / Chevrolet Tracker (Philippines) as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Assembly is recorded at China: Liuzhou, Guangxi / Indonesia: Cikarang / Cikarang, West Java (SGMW Indonesia).

How this catalogue works

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.

From catalogue to ownership

A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Wuling Xingchi was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
