How Many Cylinders Does the Baojun 310 1.2L Engine Have?
3 Answers
Baojun 310 1.2L is a three-cylinder engine. Working process of a three-cylinder engine: All engines rely on the expansion of gas from the combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders to push the pistons in reciprocating motion. This reciprocating motion generates an up-and-down movement, which drives the rotation of the crankshaft through the special construction of the piston connecting rod and the engine crankshaft. The crankshaft is fixed and rotates, so the rotation brings centrifugal force, leading to the emergence of centrifugal inertia force, ultimately causing vibration. In addition, the original up-and-down reciprocating motion of the pistons also generates vibration. Engine introduction: It is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 82Ps and a peak torque of 116Nm. A 5-speed manual transmission is provided. Baojun Auto will produce a 1.0L turbocharged engine at Wuling Liuji Power, and this engine will be installed in the Baojun 310 model in the future.
The 1.2L engine in the Baojun 310 is a three-cylinder unit, which is a pretty common configuration. I've studied this design before - having one fewer cylinder than a four-cylinder engine mainly helps with fuel efficiency and cost reduction, making it very suitable for this compact car. I've driven my friend's Baojun 310, and the power delivery is smooth with decent acceleration that's perfectly adequate for city commuting. While some people worry about vibration issues, modern three-cylinder engines incorporate balancing technologies that make them quite refined to drive. Maintenance is also simpler with fewer parts and lower failure rates. If you're concerned about fuel consumption, this car might only cost about 0.5 RMB per kilometer - economical and environmentally friendly. Overall, it's a solid choice.
I chose the Baojun 310 specifically for its 1.2L three-cylinder engine, which offers great practicality. From an economic standpoint, the three-cylinder structure enhances fuel efficiency, with a fuel consumption of around 6L per 100km, making it very cost-effective. The driving experience feels powerful, with quick acceleration that's perfect for city traffic. As a commuter car, the noise control is decent, and it doesn't get too tiring even on long drives. During maintenance, don't forget to regularly check the spark plugs and engine oil to avoid minor issues. Overall, this configuration offers high value for money, and I haven't regretted choosing it.
