What engine is used in the Baojun RX6?
2 Answers
Baojun currently does not have an RX6 model. However, Baojun offers the RC6, which is equipped with a 1.5T engine. The engine model is LJO, featuring 4 cylinders arranged in an inline (L) configuration, with 4 valves per cylinder. The valve train is DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft). This engine runs on gasoline with multi-point fuel injection and utilizes an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. The Baojun RC6 measures 4925mm in length, 1880mm in width, and 1580mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2800mm. It is fitted with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've been driving my Baojun RX6 for a while now, equipped with SAIC-GM-Wuling's 1.5T turbocharged engine from the LJ0 series, delivering around 147 horsepower. It performs quite well on highways with quick acceleration and decent fuel efficiency, averaging just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers. As an owner, I find this engine stable for daily commutes, quiet at startup, and with a bit of extra power when climbing hills. However, I occasionally notice slight vibrations at low RPMs, though this can be alleviated with a simple oil change during maintenance. The engine is designed with fuel economy in mind, paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission, making it easy to handle even for beginners. Overall, it carries the reliable genes of the Baojun brand at an affordable price, making it a great choice for budget-conscious SUV buyers—just don't expect exceptional off-road performance, as it's primarily positioned as a city family car.
