The length, width, and height dimensions of the Baojun 510 are 4220mm/1740mm/1615mm, which are official data. The length of the Baojun 510 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The naturally aspirated engine of the Baojun 510 has a maximum power of 73kW and a maximum torque of 135 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 5800 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 3600 to 5200 rpm. It is equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. This engine is paired with a manual transmission (MT). There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that in the national standard, the significance of vehicle width data is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
I've been driving my Baojun 510 for several years and remember its body dimensions clearly: 4220mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1625mm in height. The biggest takeaway from driving it is how perfectly the body size is balanced - it's exceptionally nimble when navigating through city alleys, and can easily slip into those tight parking spots in old residential areas. Don't let its classification as a compact SUV fool you; the rear seats can comfortably accommodate three adults. Once when I took my parents-in-law to the hospital, the elderly couple sat quite comfortably in the back. The trunk has about 80cm of depth - enough to fit a camping tent and folding chairs for weekend outings with the kids, with room to spare. Another plus is the vehicle height, which provides much better visibility than sedans while still clearing height-restricted barriers without roof scraping concerns.
