Is the Baojun 510 engine domestically produced or imported?

[DiAriana]

Baojun 510 engine is domestically produced, manufactured in a domestic micro-small engine model factory. The Baojun 510 is a small SUV under the Baojun brand, and this model is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine across the entire lineup. The dimensions of the Baojun 510 are 4220 mm in length, 1740 mm in width, and 1615 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550 mm. There are three different versions of the Baojun 510: one complies with the National V emission standard, while the other two comply with the National VI emission standard. Among the three versions, the one that complies with the National V emission standard has relatively stronger power. The National V-compliant model's engine has a maximum horsepower of 112 hp and a maximum torque of 146.5 Nm, delivering maximum torque between 3600 to 4000 rpm and maximum power at 5800 rpm. The engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed AMT transmission.

As an ordinary enthusiast who is quite fascinated by cars, I often keep an eye on information about domestic vehicles. The Baojun 510's engine is definitely domestically produced—it's manufactured by SAIC-GM-Wuling in China, such as at the Liuzhou plant. The engine model is L2B, which initially borrowed technology from General Motors, but now all its components are locally sourced and assembled. Technically, it's not high-end, but it's fuel-efficient and reliable for daily driving. The 1.5-liter engine provides enough power for city driving and doesn't falter on highways. The advantage of domestic engines is their low maintenance costs, easy availability of parts, and no need to spend big money waiting for imported components. Many owners report no issues even after several years of use, with maintenance costs as low as a few hundred yuan per service. I think domestic cars are improving rapidly, and the 510 is a good example—offering high cost performance.

I've been driving the Baojun 510 for over two years now. The engine is domestically produced, and the dealer emphasized its localized manufacturing when I purchased it. It's been trouble-free in daily use—while not as powerful as imported cars, the 1.5L engine is quite reliable with an average fuel consumption of 6L/100km, more economical than joint-venture brands. The L2B engine model originates from GM but is assembled by Wuling in Liuzhou with high localization of parts. Maintenance is affordable, often requiring just minor part replacements. I initially hesitated about domestic quality before buying, but after 15,000 km, it starts flawlessly with smooth power delivery. The progress in domestic engines is impressive—offering great value for family commuting.

From the perspective of the automotive industry, the Baojun 510 engine falls under the domestic category. SAIC-GM-Wuling has a highly localized supply chain, with engines based on General Motors technology but produced and assembled domestically, reducing costs and enhancing competitiveness. Chinese manufacturing has shown significant improvement in recent years, with engine quality being reliable and durable. Economically, local procurement drives industrial development and increases employment. Engines like the 1.5L model in the 510 offer stable performance for daily use at a reasonable price, aligning with consumer trends.
