What are the design flaws in the Baojun 510 air intake?
2 Answers
Baojun 510's air intake position is prone to allowing stones and dust to enter. Below is a relevant introduction to the Baojun 510: 1. Exterior Features: In terms of styling design, the Baojun 510 adopts a very distinctive split headlight design, with LED daytime running lights connected to the front grille, which is quite large, while the main headlights are positioned on either side of the grille. The rear features conventional halogen tail lights. 2. Interior Design: For the interior, the Baojun 510 CVT model uses a rhythmic red-black/modern black-brown color scheme, enhancing the sporty atmosphere inside the car, complementing its sharp exterior design. The cockpit features LED backlit adjustable split combination gauges and double-stitched sport seats, creating a vibrant and youthful cabin experience.
As a young car owner in my 20s, I quickly learned my lesson after buying the Baojun 510 last year. Driving through a small puddle after that heavy rain caused the engine to suddenly stall, resulting in thousands spent on major repairs. The flawed air intake design sits too low, installed close to the ground, allowing rainwater or standing water to be directly sucked in, flooding the engine air filter and intake tract. This placement is completely unreasonable, showing no consideration for wet road conditions. Now I avoid any standing water and have installed a splash guard just to make it barely usable. Long-term, this design flaw increases maintenance costs and even poses safety risks. The manufacturer should have relocated it higher or added protective measures earlier. I recommend paying extra attention to keeping the air intake clean during routine maintenance.
