The car was developed at the SAIC-GMPan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) in Shanghai.[7] While not visually similar to other GM cars, it has been suggested that the 630 and 610 is based on the Buick Excelle/Daewoo Lacetti platform.[8]

A facelifted version was revealed for the first time in December 2015, featuring a slightly revised front end, a more important redesigned rear end, with larger tail lamps, and a heavily reworked dashboard.[11]
The 630 is powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder 109 bhp (81 kW; 111 PS) 1.5-litre (1,485 cc) engine producing 146 N⋅m (108 lb⋅ft) and mated to a five-speed transmission.

It can be equipped with front airbags,ABS withEBD, leather seats,power windows, remote central locking, air conditioning, trip computer, a CD player and rear parking sensors. The Baojun 630 is currently using pull-outdoor handles, similar to the faceliftedDaewoo Lacetti.[14][15]
The Baojun 630 is a midsize vehicle that was developed locally using GM technology.
The 630 is based on what GM likes to refer to as Mature Technology, which is generally PR speak for older well used tech that is not quite past its sell by date and still highly useable, [sic] the platform in question is rumored to be the older Buick Excelle platform that was first designed in GM Korea.
