The Asta was released on the April 2021 Auto Shanghai as part of Wuling's model offensive among regular passenger cars.[2] It is built on the same platform as the Baojun 530.[3]

The design of Asta follows the style of the Victory minivan, with a trapezoidal grille with a wing motif,[4] and boomerang-shaped LED lighting. In addition, like the Victory, the Asta is equipped with a silver corporate logo for the global model range.[5]

The Asta is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre LJO four-cylinder engine producing 108 kW (145 hp; 147 PS). The engine is mated to either a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission with eight pre-programmed gear ratios.[6]

The Asta is the second model designed for global markets, after the Victory. Firstly, its sale began on the domestic Chinese market, with plans to start sales in export countries in 2022.[7]
