In an increasingly crowded city, we all crave a space, a journey. Sometimes, a good car is not only a means of transportation, but also our yearning for freedom and distance. Yes, I'm talking about the kind of sedan handling that sits somewhere in between the space of an SUV — the station wagon. If you don't prefer the majesty of an SUV or the compactness of a sedan, then a station wagon may be the poetry and distance you imagined. In China, station wagons may still be a niche market. But being niche doesn't mean it's not sought after. It simply represents a group of people's love for a particular way of life. In recent years, with the transformation of the market, domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers are trying to explore the potential of this market segment. Speaking of which, you may be wondering, which brands in China are making station wagons? Let me tell you, the new Baojun is one of the brave explorers. Not long ago, the new Baojun released two customized versions of their SUV model, Valli, which are called "yearning" in Chinese. Is that a name that has already struck a chord with you? But before we follow that name, there's one thing you need to know. The Valli is not a brand new model from scratch.
Last year, the new Baojun once launched a station wagon RC-5W. However, that car is now out of production. Valli can be seen as its successor. You may ask, why didn't the new Baojun name this car "Yearning" earlier? Indeed, the name is full of poetry, conjuring up infinite landscapes and possible adventures. Marketing gurus Al Rees and Jack Trout once said in "Positioning" that choosing a product name is the most important step in marketing decisions. And the name "yearning" is undoubtedly more intriguing than RC-5W. Okay, let's put the name aside and take a look at what exactly the Valli has to offer. Externally, it continues the design language of the RC-5W, with smooth body lines, a family-oriented face, and through-style taillights. Despite their common pedigree, Valli has its own characteristics – like the luggage rack on the roof of the car. Some people may say that luggage racks are just decorations. But for those who love to travel by car, luggage racks are an essential companion on their adventures. Whether it's a tent, a bicycle or a large suitcase that you need to carry, you can handle it with ease.
At certain moments, the value of a luggage rack is highlighted. When it comes to interior space, the new Baojun understands the needs of consumers. The rear seats can be fully reclined, and with a car mattress selected from the Internet, the bed spreads out. It seems possible to take a nap in the car or spend the night under the stars. But did you know that on these quiet nights, when you lean in the car and look out the window at the stars, you may wonder why station wagons are not popular in the Chinese market, is it because of consumer preferences, or is it market orientation? In fact, many foreign brands have been promoting the development of station wagons in the Chinese market. But domestic brands seem to have been waiting on the sidelines. The Valli of the new Baojun may be an attempt by domestic brands to explore the potential of the station wagon market. Regardless of the outcome, the new Baojun offers us another option, and the attempt itself deserves our applause. However, getting a product right is never easy. Whether Valli is able to impress consumers is not only about its design and naming, but also about its performance and user experience. We hope that Valli will truly make consumers "yearn for it" and let more people start to pay attention to and enjoy the lifestyle that station wagons bring."
In this era of speed and passion, the leisure and freedom of station wagons are slowly becoming a new attitude to life. Although it is still a niche, like those unique cultures and lifestyles, it represents a taste, a choice, and a pursuit of quality of life. So, the next time you're thinking about changing cars, or planning a trip that you can just say, think about it, maybe Valli, maybe the station wagon, is the poetry and the distance you yearn for. Imagine a sunny day and you're driving down the road leading to a distant land. Outside the car window is a piece of emerald scenery, and inside the car is your laughter and joy. It's not just a trip, it's a liberation of the mind, a yearning for freedom. And with you, it may be the new car launched by Baojun - Valli. Baojun Valli, the name, has gradually reverberated in the automotive circle. Its appearance has brought a touch of freshness to friends who love self-driving travel. You may ask, what is the appeal of this car? First of all, for those who are worried about not having enough space to store their travel essentials, Valli offers a satisfying answer.
Its trunk, with the seats folded down, can reach 1800/1200/750mm in size. As you can imagine, this space is almost the equivalent of a single bed in a hotel, only slightly shorter. That means your tent, backpack, picnic basket, and even those hard-to-part knick-knick-knacks can be easily stowed away from worrying about luggage. Then there's the power configuration, where people are always hungry for speed and passion. As for the power, although the official details have not yet been announced, we have reason to believe that the Valli will continue to use the 1.5 self-priming and 1.5T power combination of the RC-5W. That's more than enough for a city commute, and even on a long road trip, it may not be the most powerful configuration, but it's good enough to be relied upon. Of course, we can't avoid asking a question about the driving quality of the vehicle. If the Valli rear suspension is still the torsion beam of the RC-5W, and the Baojun is not the best in the industry when it comes to tuning, then it is really unknown whether this new car will be able to provide a smooth and comfortable driving experience. Some details still need to be refined to improve the user experience.
However, these potential shortcomings do not prevent the Baojun Valli from being cost-effective. After all, Baojun has always won with high cost performance. With a budget of about 100,000 yuan, you can have a model with both quality and travel genes, which is undoubtedly its unique attraction in today's increasingly homogeneous automobile market. We need to know that buying a car is not just a transaction, but also a lifestyle choice. For those who crave the freedom to move between the city and nature, and want to find a moment of peace in the fast-paced life, Valli may be the perfect companion. It not only carries your vision of life, but also the starting point for you to realize your dreams. Imagine driving Valli, whether it is driving on the bustling streets of the city or on the winding roads in the suburbs, the calm mood and the excitement of the unknown journey are the reasons why we choose to travel by car. Along the way, there are beautiful views, music, laughter, and that trust in Baojun Valli. All in all, while Valli may be questionable in some areas, it offers users an option that is both affordable and full of possibilities, with value for money as its core strength.
In this competitive market, Baojun Valli is like a breath of fresh air, which tells us that it doesn't have to be expensive to realize your travel dreams. At this moment, let's put aside those tangles and doubts for the time being, and let Valli tell us the answers with practical actions. Someday in the future, when we look back on the present day, we may be grateful for the decision we made today to set off with Valli on a journey that resonates with our soul and nature.
