What engine does the Baojun 530 use?
2 Answers
The Baojun 530 is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 147 hp and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, with peak power output at 5,200 rpm and peak torque output between 2,200 and 3,400 rpm. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine produces a maximum horsepower of 137 hp and a maximum torque of 186 Nm, with peak power output at 5,600 rpm and peak torque output between 3,600 and 4,600 rpm. The Baojun 530 features a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear, with the torsion beam suspension known for its simple structure and compact size.
I usually drive the Baojun 530, which is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine. It's perfectly adequate for city commuting, with a slight delay at startup, but you can feel the push-back sensation once the RPM exceeds 2000. Last week, I took four friends on a mountain road trip, and it didn't feel strained even when climbing slopes. The fuel consumption is quite friendly; with the AC on while driving on the highway, it's only about 6.5L. A full synthetic oil change during maintenance costs just over 300 yuan. After driving it for more than two years, there hasn't been a single fault code in the engine compartment, making it feel more reliable than some joint-venture cars in the same price range.
