The Senova D50 is a compact sedan produced by BAIC under the Senova (Shenbao 绅宝) brand.

Originally unveiled as the Beijing Auto C50E, the first generation Senova D50 debuted on the 2014 Beijing Auto Show, and was launched on to the China car market in H2 2014. The C50E was planned to be sold under the Senova brand name with the original designation being D150. Prices starts from 74,800 yuan to 119,800 yuan.

Originally the Beijing Auto Senova EV300, the electric car based on the Beijing Auto Senova D50 sedan was later renamed to EU under the BJEV brand. Beijing Auto previewed an EV300 concept on the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show, with a new and more aerodynamic front DRG compared to the D50 that it was based on. The Senova EV300 is powered by an electric motor producing 136hp and 240nm of torque, the electric range is about 200 kilometers with initial pricing before green-car subsidies by central and local governments to start around 200,000 yuan. The EU260 EV debuted on the 2015 Guangzhou Auto Show in China. After the rebranding, the EU260 is manufactured by BAIC BJEV, a subsidiary of the Beijing Auto Industry Corporation (BAIC) that makes electric cars. The EU series includes two different trim levels with different electric range including the BJEV EU400 and BJEV EU260 with the BJEV EU400 discontinued after the second generation D50 was launched.

The second generation Beijing Auto Senova D50 was unveiled on the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show in April 2017, with the initial market launch planned to be in June 2017. However, the launch of the second generation Beijing Auto Senova D50 for the Chinese car market was later postponed to be on November 8 with prices ranging from 67,900 yuan to 96,900 yuan.

Same as the first generation Beijing Auto Senova D50 sedan, the second generation D50 also spawned an electric version manufactured and sold under the BJEV brand. The electric version of the second generation D50 was also sold under the EU series, and this time it was sold along side the first-generation-D50-based EU260 as the EU5 replacing the also first-generation-D50-based EU400.
