What is the power of the Baojun 730?
2 Answers
Baojun 730 maximum power: 112 horsepower (82 kW) / 5800 rpm, maximum torque is 147 Nm / 3600-4000 rpm. The Baojun 730 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Meaning of engine power: Engine power refers to the speed at which a car engine does work. The work done by the engine per unit time is called the engine's power. Corresponding to indicated work and effective work, it is called indicated power and effective power (output power), and the difference between the two is called mechanical loss power. Intermediate losses: The engine's power is not equal to the car's power. In mechanical transmission, there will be intermediate power losses. Additionally, designs that thicken and reinforce the body for safety considerations can also lead to losses in engine power. Therefore, a car with a small displacement engine is not necessarily slower or performs worse than a car with a high-power engine.
As a seasoned MPV driver, I remember the Baojun 730's 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 105 horsepower or 77 kilowatts, which is quite sufficient for city commuting and highway driving. The smooth acceleration from a standstill doesn’t feel sluggish. Even when carrying a full load of six or seven family members uphill, it doesn’t struggle, and fuel consumption is well controlled at around 7-8 liters per 100 km on average. If you’re considering an upgraded version, such as the Turbo model, the power might exceed 110 horsepower, but the price is slightly higher. I recommend test-driving the vehicle yourself before purchasing. When choosing the power level, consider your daily needs and avoid blindly chasing higher performance—after all, MPVs prioritize space and comfort.
