THE BAOJUN VALLI IS A SEXY WAGON AT A CHEAP PRICE

EV Channels Review

The Baojun Valli is presented as a rare and affordable wagon option in the Chinese market. The reviewer highlights its "sexy" wagon styling, particularly the profile, though notes the promotional wrap and optional roof box detract from its potential appeal. Performance from the 1.5-liter turbo engine is described as merely "adequate," with acceleration being slow and the CVT's "sport mode" offering minimal improvement beyond increased noise. Handling is criticized for "loosey-goosey" steering, lacking driver connection. Interior-wise, the design is generally liked, featuring a 10.25-inch screen with a 360-degree camera and an unusual side-view camera. However, material quality is mixed, with soft touchpoints but also hard plastics. Practicality is a mixed bag: while cargo space is good with seats down (1620 liters) and the unique feature of a removable bench seat is praised, rear legroom is surprisingly tight for a 4.7-meter car, and front headroom is also limited. The Valli is positioned as a budget-friendly option, with the top-trim model costing around $15,000-$16,000 USD.
