What engine does Baojun use?

[VanClayton]

Baojun uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine, which is independently developed by Baojun, so it belongs to a domestic engine. The engine model used by Baojun is LL5, with a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, maximum torque speed of 2000-3800rpm, maximum power of 108KW, maximum horsepower of 147PS, and maximum torque of 250N.m. For the daily maintenance of Baojun's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected according to the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, and the selection standard should not be lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which will cause various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil quantity should be moderate. When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element will burst or the safety valve will open, allowing the oil to pass through the bypass valve and still bring dirt back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston ring and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it is suspended in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

I've been driving the Baojun 510, which is equipped with a 1.5L L2B naturally aspirated engine. It runs quite smoothly, with city fuel consumption around 6.5L per 100km, and even more fuel-efficient on highways. This engine was developed by SAIC-GM-Wuling, featuring mature technology that has proven reliable over several years without major issues. The acceleration isn't particularly fast, but it's sufficient for daily commuting, and maintenance is convenient—an oil change only costs a few hundred yuan. For those on a budget, this engine offers great value, being both fuel-efficient and dependable. I also tried my friend's Baojun 730, which uses a turbocharged version (with a 'T'), delivering stronger power and being more suitable for family trips. Overall, Baojun engines focus on practicality, with small-displacement designs that help reduce vehicle operating costs.

As a car enthusiast, I've followed Baojun's engine lineup. They primarily use SAIC-GM-Wuling's L-series and P-series engines, like the 1.5L L2B model in the Baojun 510 which delivers 112 horsepower. The technology stems from GM collaboration, paired with CVT or manual transmissions, offering stable but not aggressive power output. Reliability is good, commonly used in entry-level SUVs and MPVs like the Baojun 730. I've compared them with Geely's equivalent engines, and Baojun's fuel efficiency is slightly better. These engines are easy to modify—adding an intake can slightly boost performance—though the original design focuses more on durability and low-cost maintenance. I'd recommend them to friends who prioritize hassle-free ownership.

When repairing cars, it's common to see Baojun models equipped with B-series or LJ479Q engines, which have simple structures and are easy to maintain. For example, replacing spark plugs or filters is straightforward and low-cost. These engines are reliable with few malfunctions, but over time, carbon buildup may require cleaning. It's recommended to service them every 5,000 kilometers to extend their lifespan. Overall, they are easier and more affordable to repair compared to imported brands.
