What type of vehicle is the Baojun RM5?
2 Answers
Baojun RM5 is an MPV model under the Baojun brand, equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup. The engine delivers a maximum power of 108kW and a peak torque of 245Nm, with maximum power achieved at 5,200 rpm and peak torque available between 2,200 to 3,400 rpm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. The dimensions of the Baojun RM5 are 4,705mm in length, 1,806mm in width, and 1,615mm (1,625mm, 1,645mm) in height. It employs a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.
The Baojun RM5 is a highly practical multi-purpose vehicle that combines the advantages of SUVs and MPVs. Launched in 2019, it offers a particularly spacious interior, with rear seats that can be folded flat, allowing the trunk to accommodate even a large refrigerator—making it ideal for family trips or daily commutes. Priced around 100,000 RMB, it delivers excellent value for money. Having driven a friend's model, I found it agile in handling, easy to park in the city, and relatively fuel-efficient at about 8L per 100 km. The interior boasts a modern design with some smart tech features, like voice-controlled navigation, which is quite convenient. However, it only offers 1.5L or 1.5T engine options, resulting in slightly sluggish acceleration. Baojun's extensive after-sales service and low maintenance costs make it a reliable choice, especially for budget-conscious young families or working professionals. Overall, it simplifies driving life—nothing flashy, but honest and dependable.
