Does the Baojun 510 Have Underbody Armor?
2 Answers
Baojun 510 does not have underbody armor, but it uses two large plastic panels to cover the underside of the chassis. These panels help reduce turbulence under the vehicle, providing some noise reduction and improving stability. More details about the Baojun 510 are as follows: 1. The Baojun 510's chassis suspension adopts the common MacPherson strut design. In terms of structure, layout, and materials, the front suspension of the Baojun 510 is similar to other vehicles in the same price range. 2. The Baojun 510's front suspension uses an integrated ball joint with the lower control arm, which may result in slightly higher replacement costs compared to a separate ball joint design.
I've been driving the Baojun 510 for a while and have specifically studied its chassis. The factory did apply an anti-rust coating to the underbody, but strictly speaking, this doesn't qualify as chassis armor. Armor typically refers to additional metal or resin protective plates that guard against scrapes and stone impacts. When I picked up my car, the underbody only had a thin anti-rust layer, and the sound of stones hitting the chassis on rough roads was particularly noticeable. Later, I spent over 800 yuan to install aluminum alloy protective plates at a repair shop, which made driving on mountain roads much more reassuring. If you frequently travel on unpaved roads, I recommend installing these plates right after purchasing the car, as the factory protection is truly insufficient. Also, remember to wash the mud from the chassis crevices during regular car washes, especially after spreading de-icing agents in northern winters, as these can be highly corrosive to metal.
