The length, width, and height dimensions of the Baojun 730 are 4780mm/1780mm/1740mm, which are official data. The length of the Baojun 730 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The turbocharged engine of the Baojun 730 has a maximum power of 108kw and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 5200 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 2200-3400 rpm. It is equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. This engine is matched with a manual transmission (MT). The state has relevant regulations on vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89" issued, the total width of the vehicle does not include the rearview mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, in the national standard, the significance of vehicle width data is to provide enough space during overtaking, avoiding accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, the state stipulates that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of relevant public roads.
I drive the Baojun 730 myself, and I remember its length very clearly—it's 4.71 meters! Whether picking up the kids from school or taking the whole family on a trip, this size is just right for parking in the city without too much hassle, and it's stable on the highway. The trunk can fit two large suitcases plus a stroller and still have room to spare. If you fold down the third-row seats, you can even fit a small refrigerator. However, you need to be a bit more careful when passing through narrow roads in old neighborhoods, as it's noticeably longer than a regular sedan.
As a father of two, I initially chose the Baojun 730 for its just-over-4.7-meter length. When traveling with the whole family, adults can stretch out comfortably in the front and middle rows, while kids don't feel cramped in the third row. Once when moving, I folded down the last two rows and managed to fit in a foldable bed and a washing machine. This length makes it maneuverable enough for city driving, and it handles rural dirt roads decently too - though you'll need to watch the length limit signs when entering mechanical parking spaces.
Real-world data speaks: The Baojun 730 Standard Edition measures 4710 mm in length. It is 8 cm shorter than its counterpart, the Song MAX, but 12 cm longer than the Wuling Hongguang PLUS. With this size paired with a 2750 mm wheelbase, the rear door opens to form a 1.2-meter-wide entrance, making it convenient for loading large items. However, be cautious about aftermarket roof rack modifications, as exceeding a total height of 1.9 meters may prevent entry into underground parking garages.
