The engine model is L2B, which is commonly used by New Baojun vehicles. This engine is made of aluminum alloy material, so it has good heat dissipation capability and is relatively lightweight. Introduction to New Baojun RS3: The Baojun RS3 is a compact SUV under the Baojun brand. The dimensions of this car are 4300 mm in length, 1750 mm in width, and 1600 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550 mm. In terms of interior design, the RS3 incorporates more convenient car networking features, allowing users to remotely locate the car, start the vehicle, and activate the air conditioning via a smartphone. Additionally, the voice control system supports sending and receiving WeChat messages through voice commands.
I previously drove my friend's Baojun RS3 and found the engine performance quite solid. The car comes standard with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, available in two tuning versions: a low-power version with 73kW and a high-power version with 77kW. In actual driving, the power delivery is very smooth, perfectly adequate for city commuting, with brisk acceleration from a standstill. The matched CVT transmission is particularly suitable for stop-and-go traffic, with barely noticeable jerking. On weekends, I took it to the suburbs for some mountain driving, and noticed some power delay when climbing hills with the accelerator fully depressed, but the push-back sensation kicks in once the RPM reaches 4000. It's recommended to change the full synthetic oil regularly. During the last maintenance, the mechanic mentioned that the engine's valve cover gasket is prone to oil seepage, but replacing the gasket solves the issue.
