What is the fuel consumption of the Baojun 360?

[DavidMarie]

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.

Veteran drivers discuss the fuel consumption of the Baojun 360, with the key factor being the transmission. The manual transmission is most economical at 70 km/h on national highways, achieving 5.9 liters per 100 km. The automatic CVT transmission consumes 1.2 liters more than the manual in city traffic with frequent stops and starts. The worst scenario is uphill driving, where the engine RPM suddenly spikes to 3000, causing instant fuel consumption to hit 19.9 liters. Some owners who modified their headlights reported a 0.4-liter increase in fuel consumption due to added wiring. Don’t worry too much about fuel consumption during the break-in period; it’s normal to see a 1-liter drop after the first maintenance. Long-term fuel tracking software shows that the car’s combined fuel consumption fluctuates reasonably between 7.8 and 8.3 liters.

My manual transmission Baojun 360 is most fuel-efficient in spring and autumn, achieving 6.3L/100km on national highways without AC. But winter requires special attention: idling over 3 minutes increases fuel consumption by 10% - it's better to warm up while driving. Overfilling engine oil also raises consumption; once an apprentice added 4L during maintenance, resulting in 1L extra per 100km. Those small convex mirrors on side mirrors increase aerodynamic drag - removing them reduced displayed consumption by 0.2L. Don't overfill the fuel tank either; carrying 50L extra fuel is like adding a passenger's weight, increasing consumption by about 0.5L.

Comparing the fuel consumption of different model years of the Baojun 360, it was found that the 2020 National VI model consumes about 0.8 liters more than the 2018 model. This is mainly due to the addition of a particulate filter in the exhaust pipe. Once, I borrowed a friend's automatic transmission model for mountain driving, and the uphill section showed a terrifying 14.7 liters on the display. However, using the S gear for speed limitation on downhill sections helped recharge and save fuel. After replacing the original tires with quiet tires, the tread became softer, increasing fuel consumption by 0.6 liters. The most mysterious factor is the difference in fuel quality between gas stations—even at different branches of the same brand, a full tank can result in a 40-kilometer difference in range. It's recommended to reset the trip meter after each refueling; driving three full tanks will generally reveal the true fuel consumption.
