CHENGDU – Baojun today launched the RM-5 MPV and RC-6 sedan under its new diamond logo at the Chengdu Motor Show 2019. Equipped with industry-leading connectivity and class-leading driver-assistance technology, the two new nameplates represent Baojun’s latest intelligent mobility solutions.
The RM-5 and RC-6 provide a new connectivity experience. Users’ smartphones can be synchronized with the vehicles, allowing them to enjoy personalized settings along with familiar apps like WeChat on the road.
With the vehicles’ advanced voice recognition system, customers can have their voice messages transferred to text message via WeChat to avoid distractions. The powerful voice recognition system, which is 20 times faster than traditional systems, also integrates voice commands for in-vehicle features such as air conditioning, windows, the sunroof and music.
In addition, with the Baojun app, customers can remotely lock, unlock and start their vehicles using their smartphones. The real-time status of the RM-5 and RC-6, including their location, can be checked using the app. The connectivity system can be updated over the air.
Both new models come with Bosch’s driver assistance system. The Level-2 ADAS system covers 16 daily driving scenarios to reduce driving fatigue, especially during heavy traffic.
The advanced adaptive cruise control system on the RM-5 and RC-6 can be activated at a speed of up to 130 km/h. The combination of a 77-GHz long-range millimeter-wave radar and a multifunction high-definition camera makes the identification of people, cars and roads ahead more precise.

Other safety features include Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Cruise Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Traffic Sign Warning and Traffic Speed Assist.
