The fuel consumption of the Baojun 360 is 6.3-6.9L/100km. Relevant explanations are as follows: Introduction: The Baojun 360 is a 6-seater family car tailored for young families by SAIC-GM-Wuling. On May 10, 2018, SAIC-GM-Wuling announced the launch of the Baojun 360. In July 2019, the Baojun 360 officially launched the China VI version. On September 26, 2019, the Baojun 360 CVT model was officially launched. Additional notes: The new car introduced two models, the 1.5L-CVT Elite and the 1.5L-CVT Luxury, both meeting the China VI emission standards. On November 19, 2020, the 2021 Baojun 360 was officially launched, with a total of 5 models. The 2021 Baojun 360 added a Nordic Blue body color option. The Baojun 360 is a compact MPV under SAIC-GM-Wuling.
I've been driving the Baojun 360 manual transmission for almost two years now. During rush hour traffic in the city, the fuel consumption is around 8-9 liters, and it can go up to 9.5 liters with the air conditioning on in summer. It's particularly fuel-efficient on the highway; maintaining a steady speed of 90 km/h shows about 5.8 liters on the display, but actual calculations come to around 6.5 liters. The car's fuel tank is only 40 liters, and a full tank can take you over 500 kilometers. I'd suggest not paying too much attention to the official 6.9-liter figure; in real-world use, 7.5 liters is considered normal. When the trunk is fully loaded, you can noticeably feel the throttle getting heavier, and fuel consumption increases by about 0.8 liters. Regularly changing the air filter is quite crucial for saving fuel; after the last maintenance, the fuel consumption dropped by 0.3 liters.
There is a Baojun 360 Auto Elite version in our company. Since the company reimburses fuel expenses, I keep records of it. For urban commuting, it consumes around 9.2 liters per 100 kilometers, while on elevated expressways, it's a stable 7.3 liters. I noticed an interesting phenomenon: using 95-octane fuel saves about 0.6 liters compared to 92-octane, but the price difference makes it not cost-effective. Inflating the tire pressure to 2.5 saves half a liter compared to 2.3, but the ride becomes noticeably bumpier. In winter when temperatures drop below zero, fuel consumption spikes to 10 liters. Using 5W-30 engine oil saves 0.4 liters compared to 10W-40. The fuel tank is small, so I basically have to refuel every week.
