Baojun 510 does not feel unstable at 120 km/h on the highway. Power of Baojun 510: The power performance of Baojun 510 on the highway is quite good. Even when accelerating after reaching 100 km/h, it doesn't feel underpowered. In any case, the 1.5L engine with the code name L2B in the Baojun 510 delivers decent power levels and has a comprehensive power coverage range. Additionally, the most noticeable aspect is that the power performance of Baojun 510 is better than that of the CS15, and it also has slightly lower fuel consumption. Electronic speed-sensitive power steering: Baojun 510 is equipped with electronic speed-sensitive power steering. At low speeds, the steering wheel is very light, but the steering feedback is less precise; at high speeds, it becomes more stable to ensure driving stability.
I've driven the Baojun 510 on the highway several times, and when the speed reaches 120km/h, it does feel a bit floaty with noticeable body sway, especially when encountering crosswinds or changing lanes. This is likely due to the car being relatively light, with suspension tuned on the softer side, and while the center of gravity isn't high, the support isn't strong enough. Tire choice also plays a significant role—the factory tires have average grip, which becomes more apparent on uneven road surfaces. It's advisable to regularly check tire pressure, as insufficient pressure or severe tire wear can worsen the floating sensation. Additionally, try to avoid driving at high speeds with a full load; a fully packed trunk can cause the rear suspension to sag more, increasing the risk of floating. For improvement, upgrading to more stable tires or adding a rear spoiler can help reduce the floatiness. However, I personally believe safety comes first, and maintaining a steady speed of around 100km/h on the highway feels more reassuring.
