Are the Three Major Components of Baojun from GM?
2 Answers
The three major components of Baojun are not from GM. The three major components of Baojun refer to the engine, transmission, and chassis suspension. Some models under the Baojun brand use engines from GM, but the transmissions and chassis suspensions are not from GM. Baojun is a domestic brand. The Baojun 530 is a compact SUV, which is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. The front suspension of the Baojun 530 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The dimensions of the vehicle are 4655mm in length, 1835mm in width, and 1760mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm.
I've read quite a few reports about Baojun. It's actually a joint venture brand of SAIC-GM-Wuling, sharing core components with GM technology. The engine, like the L2B model used in the Baojun 510, is GM's classic 1.5L engine - durable and smooth in acceleration, though fuel consumption might be slightly higher in urban areas. For transmissions, many models use GM-derived automatic transmissions with smooth shifting, though occasional minor jerks may occur at low speeds, which doesn't affect daily driving. The chassis design is also optimized from GM platforms, offering good stability at highway speeds though not suitable for extreme off-roading. Overall, Baojun's three key components share GM technology, enhancing overall reliability. When purchasing, focus on specifications and test drive multiple times to experience the handling.
