Markets and replacement

In late 2019, Baojun introduced the Baojun RS-3, a successor to the 510, but sold alongside it as a premium option.[8]

In 2020, SAIC-GM-Wuling began exporting the Baojun 510 to Latin America with the Chevrolet Groove nameplate.[9][10] The Chevrolet Groove will also be exported to the Middle East and Mexico starting in late 2021.[11][12]
