Overview
Baojun, in a General Motors-Chinese joint venture known as SAIC-GM-Wuling, commenced production of the model in 2016. It is the first Baojun electric car.
The Baojun E100 was originally only available in Guangxi and Qingdao.{{cite web|url=https://media.gm.com/media/cn/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/cn/en/2018/June/0612_Baojun-E100.html|title=SAIC-GM-Wuling Launches New Baojun E100 Electric Vehicle|website=GM Corporate Newsroom|accessdate=28 January 2020}} Prior to mid-2018, the geographic market for the Baojun E100 was limited to Guanxi province, a southern province bordering Vietnam. However, as of June 2018, Baojun began to expand the E100's market by selling the city car in the Northern province of Shandong, in the area of Qingdao.{{cite web|url=https://www.autohome.com.cn/3993/#pvareaid=100125|title=上汽通用五菱-宝骏E100|website=autohome.com.cn|accessdate=28 January 2020}}
The Baojun E100 is powered by a 29 kW and 110 Nm electric motor producing 38 hp and 81 lb-ft torque, capable of a max speed of 100 km (62 miles) per hour.{{cite web|url=https://insideevs.com/news/338622/saic-gm-boosts-electric-range-of-baojun-e100/|title=SAIC-GM Boosts Electric Range Of Baojun E100|website=insideevs|accessdate=12 November 2020}} The battery of the E100 is a lithium-ion battery with a battery capacity of 14.9 kWh and can be charged fully in 7.5 hours.{{cite web|url=https://insideevs.com/news/336452/gms-baojun-e100-surges-to-1700-sales-in-china-for-october/|title=GM's Baojun E100 Surges To 1,700 Sales In China For October|website=insideevs|accessdate=12 November 2020}} For suspension, the E100 uses an independent front-wheel suspension and single-arm rear suspension.

The turning radius of the E100 is 3.7 meters.{{cite web|url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/baojun/baojun-e100/|title=Baojun E100|website=gmauthority|accessdate=12 November 2020}}

The 2018 E100 comes in 2 variants called the Zhixing and the higher trim Zhixiang. The lower Zhixing trim received minor interior upgrades during the 2018 facelift, while the higher-end Zhixiang trim is updated with automatic folding mirrors and a parking camera. After the tech and range updates in 2018, E100 prices were adjusted slightly to RMB 46,800 ($7,257) and RMB 59,800($9,275) after subsidies.
