What is the actual fuel consumption of the Baojun 510?
3 Answers
Baojun 510 new model's MIIT fuel consumption is 6.2-6.6L/100km, with actual feedback showing only 6.0-7.1L/100km. Actual comprehensive fuel consumption is related to multiple factors such as load, road conditions, driving habits, weather, wind speed, tire pressure, etc. The actual comprehensive fuel consumption should be based on real driving conditions. More details are as follows: Factors determining fuel consumption: Displacement and fuel consumption have a certain relationship, but higher fuel consumption doesn't necessarily mean larger displacement. In relative terms, the size of a car's displacement doesn't directly correlate with fuel consumption in a proportional relationship. Besides displacement, factors such as the car's shape, weight, and engine technology are also important elements affecting fuel consumption. Baojun 510 configuration: It uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine equipped with multi-point electronic fuel injection technology, featuring an aluminum alloy cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Baojun 510 uses MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. Small cars typically use torsion beam non-independent rear suspension due to its compact size and space efficiency, making it very suitable for small vehicles.
I've been driving the Baojun 510 for almost a year now, and I find its real-world fuel consumption quite reliable. When driving mostly in congested city traffic, the fuel consumption can reach 7.5L per 100 km, and it might climb to over 8L when using air conditioning in summer. On highways, it's much more economical, staying around 6L. I've used several apps to measure the average, and overall it's about 7L. But this really depends on driving habits—my buddy who loves to floor the accelerator sees his consumption spike to 8L, while I've developed smoother acceleration and less sudden braking habits, which save a bit. It's also important to watch tire pressure and maintenance; insufficient tire pressure can make fuel consumption soar. Overall, as a compact family SUV, it's much more economical than those bigger vehicles.
As a car enthusiast, I pay close attention to the fuel consumption details of the Baojun 510. It is equipped with a mature 1.5L engine technology, with a combined fuel consumption ranging from 6.5 to 7L per 100 kilometers. According to actual data, the manual transmission version averages 6.8L, while the automatic version may be slightly higher by 0.5L in congested traffic. The key lies in daily maintenance—regularly changing the air filter and engine oil can improve engine efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Carrying heavy loads or using air conditioning also has a significant impact. I recorded data over three months, and the lowest fuel consumption was only 5.8L when cruising at 90km/h on the highway. I recommend using an OBD tool for real-time monitoring to get more accurate data. Overall, it's quite economical and suitable for commuters.
