The Baojun 730 is equipped with a 1.5L and a 1.8L inline four-cylinder engine. The 1.5L PTE CDVVT engine adopts a dual-copy continuous variable valve timing system (DVCP), with a maximum power of 82 kW, while the 1.8L engine has a maximum power of 101 kW. The Baojun 730 is a 7-seater family car customized by SAIC-GM-Wuling for 'Chinese big families', featuring practical space, high safety, comfort, and rich configurations. In terms of body size, the Baojun 730 measures 4780mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1755mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm.
A friend of mine just bought a Baojun 730, and he mentioned that his car is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, the L2B model. This engine is quite classic, delivering smooth power output without being too aggressive at startup, and it operates quietly on city roads. It’s more than sufficient for daily family use, especially when carrying passengers or cargo—he’s never complained about a lack of power. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 7.5 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which isn’t the most frugal but certainly not a gas-guzzler either. He’s driven long distances back to his hometown, covering hundreds of kilometers without any issues. He says maintenance is straightforward, with oil changes costing just a few dozen yuan. The car offers great value for money—if you’re on a tight budget, this engine won’t disappoint. It’s been reliable over several years of use, and I’ve heard the newer models might upgrade to a 1.5T turbocharged version for stronger performance. In short, if you’re looking for affordability and reliability, this engine is a solid choice.
