What engine does the Baojun 730 use?

[LeEmersyn]

Baojun 730 is equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. Taking the 2021 Baojun 730 as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 105ps, a maximum power of 77kw, and a maximum torque of 135nm. It is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I used to work frequently with the Baojun 730, and as a seasoned auto repair shop owner, I noticed it mostly uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, typically referred to as the L2B series. This engine is designed for simplicity and reliability, delivering smooth and jerk-free performance in urban driving while maintaining decent fuel efficiency, usually around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. I recall handling maintenance for many owners—just routine oil and filter changes were enough, with no need for major overhauls, proving its durability. Occasionally, minor issues like carbon buildup affecting power output after prolonged use may arise, so I recommend periodic throttle body cleaning. Overall, this engine is well-suited for family use or long-distance travel, offering good stability at an affordable price, which is key to the Baojun 730’s high sales. For those seeking more power, some higher-spec versions come with a 1.5T turbocharged engine for stronger performance, but the naturally aspirated variant is more than adequate for daily driving.

I've been active in car enthusiast forums for years and learned about the powertrain of the Baojun 730 from data posts. The mainstream option is the 1.5L displacement engine, available in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions, with the LL5 model's 1.5T being quite common. It delivers around 110 horsepower, with sufficient torque for easy highway overtaking, and pairs smoothly with either manual or automatic transmissions. Based on user feedback I've checked, the average fuel consumption ranges between 7-8L/100km. The small displacement design is both eco-friendly and economical, with low emissions meeting China's National VI standards and minimal pollution. Technically, it features a multi-point fuel injection system, making it more reliable than older engines, though it might shake a bit during cold starts in winter, so it's best to warm it up. Newer models might offer a 1.8L option, but the 1.5L version is the most cost-effective and widely discussed on forums.

As a parent raising two kids, our family has been driving the Baojun 730 for three years. Its 1.5-liter engine is very economical. Whether it's daily school runs or family trips, the engine runs quietly without noise, with a fuel consumption of around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, saving us a lot on monthly fuel costs. The car starts smoothly without sudden jerks, offering good safety and strong reliability. We've driven 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, and with just regular oil changes and maintenance, we've never encountered major issues. It's simple and cost-effective to maintain, making it an excellent choice for family use.
