What is the lifespan of the brake pads on the Baojun 730?
2 Answers
The lifespan of the brake pads on the Baojun 730 varies depending on their position: 1. The front brake pads last between 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers; 2. The rear brake pads last between 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Brake pads, also known as automotive brake linings, are friction materials fixed on the rotating brake drums or brake discs of the wheels. The friction linings and blocks within them bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. The dimensions of the Baojun 730 are: length 4780mm, width 1780mm, height 1740mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm and a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 108kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm.
Buddy, I've been driving the Baojun 730 for five years, and there's no fixed lifespan for brake pads—it really depends on how you drive. If you're often stuck in city traffic and constantly hitting the brakes, they'll wear out faster and might need replacing at 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. If you do more highway driving and brake gently, they can last up to 40,000 or even 50,000 kilometers. Don't just rely on mileage—pay attention to the sounds. If you hear squeaking or the pedal feels spongy when braking, the pads are likely worn thin. Don't skimp on this; timely checks can prevent major accidents—safety first. I recommend having a mechanic take a quick look every 20,000 kilometers during maintenance to avoid breakdowns on the road.
