What engine is used in the Baojun 330?

The Baojun 330 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine across all variants. As the Baojun 330 is a compact car, it does not feature a high-powered engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine in the Baojun 330 delivers 109 horsepower and a maximum torque of 135 Nm. This engine reaches its peak power at 6,000 rpm and its maximum torque at 4,500 rpm. More details are as follows: 1. This engine incorporates multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, as all Baojun 330 models are manual. 2. The Baojun 330 features a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. It is common for compact cars like the Baojun 330 to use a torsion beam suspension at the rear due to limited space for more complex and space-consuming independent suspensions. Additionally, the torsion beam suspension is cost-effective, helping to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

The Baojun 330 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine from the L2B series. The power feels adequate for daily driving, especially in urban areas where it runs smoothly, but overtaking on highways requires stepping on the accelerator in advance. Having driven it for over two years, the fuel consumption remains stable at around 6.5L/100km, slightly higher with the AC on. The engine bay layout is quite compact, requiring some disassembly to replace spark plugs, but this engine is quite robust—regular oil changes keep it trouble-free. This same engine is also used in the Wuling Hongguang S, making parts easy to find and affordable. Maintenance costs around 300-400 RMB, which is quite friendly for working-class folks.

My neighbor's Baojun 330 has been running for almost five years, and that 1.5L engine is quite reliable. He says the engine delivers a maximum power of 82 kW, providing smooth rather than aggressive acceleration but with enough stability, and it handles hill climbs even with a full load. Frequent air filter changes are recommended. I've helped him clean the throttle body, which has a reasonably designed structure that's easy to work on. The key point is its excellent fuel consumption control, averaging just 7 liters per 100 km in urban-rural areas. Once, he forgot to change the coolant and only went for repairs when the temperature warning light came on, yet the engine didn't suffer from cylinder scoring. The mechanic said the cast iron cylinder block is incredibly durable.

I drove my friend's old Baojun 330, that 1.5L engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission was perfectly adequate for daily commuting. It had decent low-end torque, you could feel the power at just 2000 RPM, making it particularly suitable for stop-and-go traffic. The only downside was noticeable noise above 4000 RPM, though turning up the music easily drowned it out. Once on a long trip where I drove continuously for six hours, the engine temperature remained stable without any abnormalities - its reliability deserves praise. Maintenance parts like genuine factory filters can be bought on Taobao for just 30-50 yuan, and DIY oil changes are remarkably hassle-free.
