Baojun uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. Naturally aspirated engine: It is a type of automobile air intake, where atmospheric pressure forces air into the combustion chamber without any supercharger. Working principle of naturally aspirated engine: The naturally aspirated type has no supercharger, meaning air simply passes through the air filter, throttle, intake manifold to reach the cylinder, and gasoline is directly injected into the intake manifold through the fuel injector. Advantages of naturally aspirated engine: In terms of smoothness in power output and directness in response, naturally aspirated engines are far superior to supercharged engines. The current V8 2.4L F1 engine is the best example.

The engines used in Baojun are primarily based on General Motors technology. I've driven a Baojun 730 for several years, equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, which feels particularly fuel-efficient, averaging around 7 liters per 100 kilometers—more than sufficient for city commuting. This engine is highly reliable, runs smoothly in daily use, and hasn't encountered major issues. Different models come with varying configurations; for instance, the Baojun 510 also commonly uses a 1.5L engine, while newer models like the RS-5 sometimes feature a 1.5T turbocharged engine for stronger power and much quicker acceleration. It's advisable to check the specific model before purchasing. Regular oil and filter changes during maintenance can extend the engine's lifespan. These engines are designed to be economical and practical, with good noise control, making them suitable for family use or long-distance travel. They have low maintenance costs, and even simple tasks like checking the air filter can be done by yourself.

I'm a car enthusiast who usually studies the evolution of Baojun's engines. They mostly use GM platforms, with the L2B series 1.5L four-cylinder engine being the most common. Some high-end models use 1.0T or 1.5T turbocharging to boost power. This engine has obvious fuel-saving advantages, with highly efficient compression ratio tuning that can keep city fuel consumption below 7 liters, and even more economical on long trips. Originating from cooperative technology, it offers high durability and is suitable for daily driving and occasional off-roading. Baojun has also optimized the fuel injection system for quick starts and responsive acceleration, delivering a light and smooth driving experience without jerking. The engine is matched with different models like the 310's beginner-friendly 1.2L small-displacement version, but overall reliability remains consistent with simple maintenance. When choosing a model, selecting the right power level based on needs is always the right approach.

I've been working in automotive repair for over a decade and have serviced many Baojun vehicles. Their engines are mostly 1.5L naturally aspirated or 1.2L models, commonly found in Baojun 510 and 730. These engines have few issues and good durability, but occasionally encounter idle instability or slow starting, which requires checking spark plugs and fuel lines. The engines, based on GM technology, are designed to be simple and easy to repair, with low oil change costs around a hundred yuan. It's recommended that owners perform maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. These engines are fuel-efficient, quiet, and suitable for family use, with few common failure points. With regular maintenance, they can last a long time. Overall, Baojun offers affordable and reliable vehicles.
