2 Answers
The method to open the hood of the Baojun E100 is as follows: 1. Press the hood release switch located above the foot pedal under the steering wheel; 2. Lift the hood to its highest position. Taking the 2020 Baojun E100 as an example, it is a micro car with dimensions of 2488mm in length, 1506mm in width, and 1670mm in height, a wheelbase of 1600mm, a minimum ground clearance of 130mm, and a curb weight of 849kg. The 2020 Baojun E100 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a single-arm rear independent suspension, with a front-wheel drive configuration.
Opening the hood of the Baojun E100 is actually quite simple. Having driven many cars, I find this EV's hood design similar to traditional vehicles: After sitting in the driver's seat, lean down to locate the hood release lever—typically positioned below the steering wheel on the left side near the driver's leg area. Just give it a gentle pull. You'll hear a click indicating the front hood is released. Then exit the vehicle and walk to the front where the hood will already be slightly ajar. Reach underneath to find the safety latch in the middle section—usually a small handle or button—simply flip or push it to fully lift the hood. Always remember to secure it with the support rod to avoid accidental hand injuries. Since it's an electric vehicle, opening the hood allows you to inspect battery coolant levels or electrical wiring, helping prevent routine malfunctions. Regular practice when topping up windshield washer fluid will make the process second nature—practice makes perfect.
