Overview
The 510 debuted at the 2016 Guangzhou Auto Show with the official Chinese market launch in 2017. The car is positioned under the 530/560 compact crossover at the time.[4]
It was the best-selling crossover in China in 2018, and also the best-selling car sold by Baojun.[5] As of June 2019[update], nearly 800,000 units of 510 had been sold.[6] It is also notable for being the highest-selling new car nameplate in world's history. It recorded 416,883 sales during its first 12 months in market, the highest of any other car in the world. It took the record from the Baojun 560 which was sold 319,536 units in a 12-month period.[7]

Replacement
In late 2019, Baojun introduced the RS-3, which acted as the successor to the 510 but was sold alongside it as a premium option. The 510 continued production until September 2025, when it was discontinued in China, with the RS-3 also ending production around 2023.[13]
For export markets as the Chevrolet Groove, a second-generation Groove debuted in 2025.[14]
