What brand is the transmission of the Baojun 530?
3 Answers
Baojun 530 uses an Aisin transmission. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The Baojun 530 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4690 mm in length, 1835 mm in width, and 1750 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm. 2. The Baojun 530 is equipped with two engines across its lineup, one being a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine and the other a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine in the Baojun 530 delivers 137 horsepower and a maximum torque of 186 Nm, reaching its maximum power output at 5600 rpm and its maximum torque between 3600 and 4600 rpm.
The transmission brand of the Baojun 530 is generally SAIC-GM-Wuling's own brand or that of a partner. For example, some of their manual transmissions are manufactured by the SAIC Gear General Factory, while the automatic versions may use Aisin's CVT or other partners' products. I learned this from a friend who runs a repair shop. He said the transmission design of this car is quite reliable—the manual version offers a strong, direct, and responsive driving feel, while the automatic version is smooth and well-suited for city driving. If you opt for the automatic transmission, remember to change the transmission fluid regularly, about every 40,000 kilometers, to extend its lifespan. Overall, the brand prioritizes practicality and cost-effectiveness, aligning with Baojun's affordable positioning. Maintenance parts are easy to find and inexpensive, helping to reduce daily expenses. In short, it may not be a top-tier brand, but it’s stable enough to meet family car needs.
As a long-time owner of the Baojun 530, my car has an automatic transmission equipped with an Aisin-brand CVT, which provides a smooth and hassle-free driving experience, especially in traffic jams where frequent gear changes are unnecessary. The reliable brand has never given me major issues. In over three years since it was new, I've only changed the oil once, and it starts and accelerates steadily. This also has a lot to do with fuel efficiency—the CVT design keeps fuel consumption around 7L/100km, which is quite economical. If you opt for the manual transmission version of the new car, the gearbox might be SAIC's own, offering a stronger sense of control, but it requires manual shifting, making it suitable for those who enjoy driving pleasure. I recommend everyone test-drive before buying to feel the difference between transmissions—don’t just focus on the brand.
