The Baojun 630 is a compact/mid-size four-door notchback sedan and was the first car produced by Baojun. The 630 is manufactured in Liuzhou, Guangxi, China. It was launched at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show, and went on sale in August 2011. A five-door hatchback derivative called the 610 was added to the range in April 2014.

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

In 2014, the car debuted in Egypt and Algeria as Chevrolet Optra. 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.

The 630 is powered by a 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. A 1.8-itre (1,796 cc) version, producing 141 bhp (105 kW; 143 PS) and 177 N·m (131 lb·ft) was added to the range in November 2012.

It can be equipped with front airbags, ABS with EBD, 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-out door handles, similar to the facelifted Daewoo Lacetti.
