2 Answers
Yes, the new Baojun 730 with automatic transmission was officially launched on November 20, 2017. Below are the detailed specifications of the new Baojun 730: 1. Powertrain: The new Baojun 730 automatic transmission model is equipped with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which can handle a maximum torque of 360N·m. It also features BorgWarner's pre-engagement technology paired with dual-clutch adaptive control, enabling quick gear shifts in just 0.2 seconds. The powertrain still utilizes the P-Tec-DVVT 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 150 horsepower (110 kW) at 5500 rpm and a peak torque of 230 N·m between 2000-3800 rpm. 2. Configuration Parameters: The hybrid version of the Baojun 730 has a combined fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100 km. The gasoline-powered 1.5T model consumes 7.0L per 100 km. Compared to the gasoline version, the hybrid model reduces fuel consumption by 0.3L per 100 km, offering better fuel economy.
The Baojun 730 does indeed have an automatic transmission version. After driving it for a while, I found it quite practical. As a family MPV, it offered a semi-automatic AMT transmission option from its early launch, and later added a smoother CVT type. I remember when I bought it, the automatic version made city driving much less strenuous, especially suitable for beginners or congested roads. However, it's worth noting that its fuel efficiency might be slightly lower than the manual version, with fuel consumption around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. Maintenance is simpler, with no need for frequent gear changes, but I recommend regular checks on transmission fluid and brake pads to extend its lifespan. Overall, choosing the automatic 730 is a wise decision, especially for family trips with kids, as it reduces fatigue. Although it's slightly more expensive, the added convenience and safety are worth the extra cost.
