2 Answers
Baojun RM5 is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5L turbocharged engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers 99 horsepower and a maximum torque of 143 Nm, while the 1.5L turbocharged engine produces 147 horsepower with a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The Baojun RM5 is an MPV model with body dimensions of 4705mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1625mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750mm. In terms of exterior design, the front face of the Baojun RM5 features a complex and three-dimensional design, with a highly distinctive LED daytime running light configuration. For the interior, the Baojun RM5 is fitted with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 10.25-inch center control screen in a connected design.
I've driven the Baojun RM5 several times. It mainly comes with two engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine. The naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 73 kW, with city driving fuel consumption around 6.8L. It feels slightly weak when starting with AC on and full load, but it's cheaper to maintain. I often drive the 1.5T version, which feels particularly smooth for overtaking after the turbo kicks in. You can clearly feel the acceleration when stepping on the throttle, especially on highways, and its 250 Nm torque makes it effortless even with a full load. Both engines are paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission. I recommend test driving to compare power needs—choose the naturally aspirated version for commuting and the turbocharged one for frequent long trips for better peace of mind. The engine compartment layout is compact and easy to maintain, and it runs on 92-octane fuel.
