The engine in the New Baojun RC-6 is developed and produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling under the Baojun brand, typically a 1.5-liter turbocharged model. I've driven this car several times—it offers smooth starts and adequate power in the city, delivering around 147 horsepower. On the highway, it accelerates responsively without guzzling fuel, averaging just 7.5L/100km. Engine noise is well-controlled, with minimal noticeable vibration even in traffic. Maintenance is straightforward: oil and filter changes every 7,500 km at low cost, plus regular attention to the ignition system's cleanliness. Reliability has been decent over several years of use, with few major issues, though as a domestic brand, Baojun is still upgrading its technology and can't match premium joint-venture rivals. Overall, it's a practical, budget-friendly family car with low fuel consumption and high value for money.
