What engine is in the Baojun 730 1.8?
2 Answers
The Baojun 730 1.8 engine is manufactured in Liuzhou, Guangxi, and is independently developed by the Wuling Group. The Baojun 730 1.8 engine model is LJ479QNE2, with a maximum power output of 137 horsepower and a maximum torque of 186 Nm. For daily maintenance of the Baojun 730 1.8 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
The Baojun 730 1.8L version is equipped with a four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a displacement of 1.8 liters, specifically the Liuji series LJ479QNE model. It delivers a maximum power of approximately 137 horsepower and a torque of 186 N·m, utilizing VVT (Variable Valve Timing) technology to enhance fuel efficiency. The combined fuel consumption is around 9 liters per 100 km in urban conditions, dropping to about 7 liters on highways. This engine runs smoothly with good noise control, offering a driving experience free from turbo lag, and is mostly paired with a five-speed manual transmission. In practical use, many owners report its strong durability and ease of maintenance, requiring only regular changes of conventional mineral oil and extended intervals for spark plug replacement, making it particularly suitable for family-oriented MPV needs. As a classic engine, it performs reliably in both daily commuting and long-distance travel, providing ample power even when fully loaded with seven passengers.
