The engine of the Baojun 630 is domestically produced. Composition of the engine: Cylinder block group, crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, ignition system, cooling system, lubrication system, and starting system. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, applicable both as a power generation device and as the entire machine including the power unit. Function of the engine: It is the device that provides power for the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle, determining its power, fuel economy, stability, and environmental performance. Depending on the power source, car engines can be classified into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid engines.
The Baojun 630's engine is indeed domestically produced. It was independently developed and manufactured by SAIC-GM-Wuling, incorporating some joint-venture technologies, but the core manufacturing is entirely completed domestically. The advantages of domestic engines include effective cost control, readily available repair parts, and optimizations for durability and fuel efficiency tailored to Chinese road conditions. I drove this car for several years, and the engine starts quickly with low noise; even occasional long trips didn't cause any issues. Nowadays, domestic technology is mature, and the driving experience isn't inferior to joint-venture cars. As an owner, regular maintenance is easy and affordable, with local supplies for parts like engine oil. If you're concerned about domestic quality, the Baojun brand has a long history, and its engines have passed reliability tests—it's quite dependable for daily use.
