Baojun RS3 is an SUV. It is a compact SUV produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile. Below are some key details about the Baojun RS3: 1. In terms of body dimensions, the Baojun RS3 measures 4300mm in length, 1750mm in width, and 1600mm in height. 2. The Baojun RS3 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 99 hp, a maximum power of 73 kW, and a maximum torque of 143 N·m. The Baojun RS3 offers a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT continuously variable transmission. 3. The Baojun RS3 comes standard with dual front airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, ISOFIX child seat anchors, ABS anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, traction control system, and electronic stability control. The higher trim levels also include front side airbags and an autonomous emergency braking/safety system.

That day I drove my friend's newly purchased Baojun RS-3 on mountain roads, and the chassis was noticeably higher than a sedan, providing exceptional stability on gravel surfaces. Checking the specs: 160mm ground clearance, roof rack included, with body dimensions of 4300×1750×1625mm – a proper compact SUV setup. The rear seats can be folded down to fit a tent, and the trunk accommodated three 20-inch suitcases with room to spare. This size is perfect for young small families, making school runs and weekend getaways effortless, offering far more practicality in terms of off-road capability and space than sedans.

Accompanied my relative to test drive the RS-3 at the 4S store, where the salesperson directly pointed at the suspension and said 'professional SUV chassis'. At 180cm tall, I still had a fist's worth of headroom in the driver's seat, with a clear view of the hood. The car is equipped with a 1.5T engine, easily climbing rural dirt slopes at 3000 rpm. The competing model Changan CS35 PLUS in the same showroom shares this positioning. It's agile for urban commuting and capable enough for weekend off-road trips, officially positioned as a 50,000-class compact SUV.

After reviewing the Baojun official database, the RS-3 is categorized as a five-door, five-seat compact SUV. Key parameters highlight its SUV credentials: 160mm minimum ground clearance, 18° approach angle, and standard traction control system. The cabin features a high-seating-position design, with rear seats folding flat to expand cargo capacity to 958L. I've driven it through waterlogged sections in rainy conditions—the chassis sealing outperforms sedans, and the dual-density foam seats provide excellent lumbar support. This model offers comfortable commuting with occasional off-road capability.
