Baojun 360 is equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. Here are the details about this engine: 1. Maximum horsepower is 99ps. 2. Maximum power is 73kw. 3. Maximum torque is 143nm. 4. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Here is some extended information about precautions when using a car engine: 1. Avoid driving in neutral. The engine itself has a fuel-cut function during deceleration, and driving in neutral is not conducive to fuel economy. 2. Pay attention to observation when using the vehicle. If you notice oil on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leak and communicate with the car 4S store promptly to eliminate potential safety hazards. 3. For cars equipped with a turbocharger, do not turn off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing a slope. Let it idle for 10 minutes before shutting it down. 4. When brake fluid is mixed with or absorbs water, or if impurities or sediments are found in the brake fluid, it should be replaced or carefully filtered in a timely manner.

The Baojun 360 is powered by a General Motors L2B-series 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. This four-cylinder unit delivers a maximum power of 77kW and torque of 135N·m, paired with either a 6-speed manual or an intelligent manual transmission. I've driven this car on long trips, and its smoothness is indeed commendable, with good fuel efficiency—around 7L per 100km in city commuting. However, it feels slightly underpowered when fully loaded and climbing hills, though it's perfectly adequate for daily family use. Sharing its roots with the Wuling Hongguang, maintenance is affordable; an oil and filter change at a local shop costs just 200 yuan. It's recommended to change the oil every 5,000 kilometers and regularly clean the throttle valve carbon deposits to extend the engine's lifespan.

As a family MPV, the Baojun 360 comes standard with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, model P-TEC DVVT. I specifically checked the technical manual—it features dual variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust, with a compression ratio of 10.2:1. The low-RPM torque tuning is particularly practical. For daily school runs, the power feels adequate and fuel-efficient, though downshifting is necessary for highway overtaking. The manufacturer recommends 5W-30 oil, and during each maintenance, I have the mechanic check the spark plugs and ignition coils. When climbing hills with AC on, the tachometer needle may suddenly spike—a normal phenomenon for engines in this class, given the displacement constraints.

Last week, I helped a relative pick up a Baojun 360, and under the hood lies that classic 1.5L four-cylinder engine. Backed by General Motors technology, it excels in durability. Although the cast iron cylinder block is heavier than aluminum alloy, it offers stable heat dissipation and robustness. During my test drive, I noticed it's particularly quiet below 2000 RPM, with slight vibrations during hard acceleration. The official fuel consumption is 6.9L, but it can reach 8L in heavy traffic. In the used car market, it's common to find examples with 200,000 kilometers without major overhauls. During maintenance, just focus on checking the engine mounts and belts.
