As a long-time car enthusiast who closely follows automotive technology, I have a good understanding of the Baojun 730's engine. This MPV primarily uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine from the L2B series, featuring an inline-four-cylinder design. It delivers around 115 horsepower and 150 Nm of torque, providing smooth power delivery. City starts are responsive, though highway overtaking can feel slightly underpowered but is sufficient for daily family use.
