Is the Baojun RM5 a seven-seater?
2 Answers
The Baojun RM5 is a seven-seater, and it is an MPV under the Baojun brand. Taking the 2019 Baojun RM5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4705mm, width 1806mm, height 1615mm, wheelbase 2750mm, fuel tank capacity 48L, and curb weight 1370kg. The 2019 Baojun RM5 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 99PS, maximum power of 73kW, and maximum torque of 143Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I just got the seven-seater version of the Baojun RM-5, and it's super convenient for taking the whole family out. The seating layout is in a 2-3-2 configuration, with the second row featuring independent sliding seats, making access to the third row quite smooth. Space is definitely its strong point—even with all seven seats occupied, there's still room for small luggage in the trunk. If you fold down the third row, the cargo capacity increases significantly, making it easy to move furniture. Fuel consumption is about 8L per 100km in the city, and even better on highways, so the maintenance cost is quite reasonable. The seats offer good support, making long drives less tiring, though the legroom in the third row is a bit tight; taller passengers might find it cramped after a while. Safety-wise, all seats come with seatbelt reminders, and the side airbags provide solid protection, but remember to buckle up in the back seats too. With its slightly higher MPV chassis, it has good ground clearance and handles rough roads well. I think if you have a big family or often travel in groups, the seven-seater is definitely worth it. The only minor drawback is that the car is a bit large, so parking requires a bit more attention.
