The 2021 Trumpchi M6 PRO version was launched in May this year, and the new car was launched with a total of 6 configurations, with a price range of 129,800 to 159,800 yuan. Next, The car uncle will focus on selecting the Baojun RM-5 top model and the Trumpchi M6 entry-level model for comparison, the price difference between the two is 0.9 million yuan, so which model has more prominent product power under this premise? Let's take a look.
Exterior design
The Baojun RM-5 is from Baojun Automobile's new R platform, which adopts a U-shaped front grille on the front face, adds more dot matrix decoration inside, and makes the whole model look more approachable through the soothing lines around it. Split headlights is one of the family design elements of Baojun Automobile, the front face of the new car uses a long strip of LED daytime running lights, and through the middle of the silver trim plate connection, the main light group is located in the fog light area, the shape is more chic, unfortunately the light use halogen light source, the visual effect after lighting is almost meaningful.
Trumpchi M6 PRO version in the appearance of the design has not been too much adjustment, the body still uses a very soft line, relatively simple decorative embellishment is practical and not exaggerated, the temperament is very homely, of which the new car in the front face part of the use of a new grille design, for which to add some freshness, at least at a glance can identify the new and old models, the new car in the lighting part of the cancellation of LED fog lights, and the use of a new design of matrix LED headlights, However, compared to the Baojun RM-5, it lacks adaptive near-range light and automatic headlights.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of baojun RM-5 are 4705×1806×1645 mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm. The new model features a two-tone design with black accents on the A/B/C/D columns to create a visual feel for the floating roof.
The specific length, width and height of the Trumpchi M6 are 4780×1837×1730 mm, and the wheelbase is 2810 mm, which is leading the data. The body side design of the new model is relatively simple, and the through-line waist line extends from the front headlight group to the tail light part, making the entire side appear more stretched.
Baojun RM-5 in the rear part of the use of more complex lines for outlining, the overall lack of front of the car to simplify, of which the new car is equipped with the popular through taillights, the upper light strip is not connected with the main light group below, which is also a more special place in the design of the car, the designer may want it to echo with the split headlights and intentionally.
Trumpchi M6 tail design has a strong sense of hierarchy, of which the new car has a certain extension at the end of the roof, and is equipped with a long strip of top brake lights above, the tail lights are also through-channel design, the internal light strip surrounds the entire light group, and the visual recognition after lighting at night is higher.
Interior design
The interior of Baojun RM-5 pays more attention to the creation of a sense of technology, and the double 12.3-inch one-piece screen is a good proof. Among them, the dashboard shape of the new car is very similar to other family models, with three different theme modes to switch, the central control large screen display is delicate, the response is more sensitive, and it has voice control and other functions. At the same time, the new car has also maintained a high standard in terms of materials in the car, creating a variety of visual effects through more colors, touches and stitching of different materials in detail, which has never been done before.
The interior design of the Trumpchi M6 has not changed much, and the instrument panel and door panel still use a mix and match of hard plastic and soft leather fabrics, and the visual effect does not lose the sense of grade. As an entry-level model, the car only matches a 7-inch LCD dashboard and a 10.25-inch central control display screen, and the medium and high-end version is equipped with a double 12.3-inch one-piece screen, in addition, the entry-level model is also emasculated in terms of multimedia configuration, compared to the Baojun RM-5, which lacks satellite navigation, voice recognition control, car networking, OTA upgrades, etc.

The interior padding of the front seats of the new model is very full, but the overall texture is hard, and it would be better if it was softer.
The interior seats of the Trumpchi M6 entry-level model are wrapped in imitation leather fabric, and the function is missing the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat compared to the Baojun RM-5. The interior padding of the front seats of the new car is moderately soft and hard, the seat surface is wide, and the wings on both sides have a certain prominence, which is quite good for wrapping and comfort.
Baojun RM-5 top-mount model adopts a 2+3+2 7-seat layout, the second row of seat backrests support angle adjustment, each position is matched with independent headrests that can be lifted, and the central floor bulge is very limited, so the ride comfort performance is better.
The Trumpchi M6 features a 2+2+3 seat layout with two separate seats in the second row and is equipped with adjustable armrests. The third row is a 3-seat layout, but due to the influence of the wheel arches on both sides, the width of the rear can only accommodate two adults, so it is better to change the seats to a 2+3+2 layout, which will be more practical.
