How heavy is the Baojun 730?
3 Answers
The weight of the Baojun 730 is approximately 1.5 tons. Starting from the chassis, the 2019 Baojun 730 aims to enhance the overall driving and riding comfort. It adopts a five-link rear independent suspension, which is rarely seen in vehicles of the same class. Compared to the traditional torsion beam non-independent suspension, the independent suspension can better filter vibrations from bumpy and rough road conditions, effectively improving the comfort of passengers inside the car. Model Highlights: The biggest highlight of the Baojun 730 currently lies in the 1.5T+6DCT dual-clutch model launched at the end of last year, which addresses the shortcomings of the Baojun 730 series and better aligns with the positioning of a family MPV model. As an automatic transmission model, its price is relatively moderate. Appearance: The automatic transmission version of the Baojun 730 maintains the same appearance as the manual transmission version released earlier this year. The front face remains wide and simple, equipped with a shield-shaped active grille, LED headlight assembly, and front parking radar.
I think the weight issue of the Baojun 730 is quite interesting. I've driven this car, and its standard curb weight ranges between 1,450 kg to 1,550 kg, depending on the configuration. For example, manual transmission models are usually lighter, while automatic versions tend to be heavier, and the seven-seat design itself adds some weight. The weight affects daily driving—lower center of gravity ensures stability at high speeds, minimal tail swing during turns, and better safety. The downside is increased fuel consumption, with city driving consuming around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers. It has strong load-carrying capacity when moving, but don’t overload it, or the handling will suffer. In short, it’s best to test drive it before buying to get a feel for it.
The curb weight of the Baojun 730 fluctuates around 1,500 kg, with variations of several dozen kilograms between different models. When I was researching the car, I noticed that weight is directly related to vehicle performance. A heavier car provides more comfort over speed bumps and improves body rigidity, but it also increases the engine's burden, resulting in slower acceleration. Maintenance is also affected by weight, such as faster wear on the suspension and tires. It's recommended to check the official website for accurate data and to maintain a balanced load during actual use.
