2 Answers
The Baojun 510 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The engine has a maximum power output of 77 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 135 Newton-meters. The peak power is achieved at 5,600 revolutions per minute, while the maximum torque range spans from 3,600 to 5,200 revolutions per minute. The engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission, a 5-speed AMT transmission, or a CVT transmission. The AMT transmission is essentially a manual transmission augmented with a control mechanism that manages the engagement and disengagement of the clutch plates as well as gear shifting. The Baojun 510 employs a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam suspension at the rear. This compact SUV measures 4,220 mm in length, 1,740 mm in width, and 1,625 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,550 mm.
Speaking of the Baojun 510, my 2019 model has been running for several years now. It's equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, model L2B, which I heard is a shared technology from General Motors, delivering 112 horsepower. It's not particularly powerful but gets the job done. Driving in the city is quite smooth, with fuel consumption around 6.5L per 100km, much more economical than my previous older car. As a family car, it's just right for taking the kids out—not too weak on power, and it handles slopes without much trouble. For maintenance, I stick to changing the engine oil and air filter every 5,000 kilometers to prevent carbon buildup and rust in the engine. Occasionally, there's a slight shake at startup, which I found out was due to needing new spark plugs. This engine is a reliable partner in the Baojun 510, ideal for first-time car buyers.
