The Baojun 310 engine is produced by SAIC-GM. The Baojun 310 is a compact car equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 60.3 kW, a maximum torque of 116 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5600 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3600 to 4000 rpm. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 77 kW, a maximum torque of 135 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5600 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3600 to 5200 rpm. The dimensions of the Baojun 310 are 4032mm in length, 1680mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm.
The engine of the Baojun 310 is locally produced in China, specifically manufactured by SAIC-GM-Wuling. Their factories are mainly located in Liuzhou, Guangxi, producing engines like the P-TEC series. The technology is based on some licenses from General Motors but is entirely assembled domestically, which keeps costs low and ensures quick supply. I've researched this car myself—the engine design is simple and practical, suitable for city driving, with decent fuel efficiency. The advantage of local production is that parts are easy to find, and you don't have to worry about long wait times for imported components during repairs. Overall, this reflects the development of China's automotive industry, where joint-venture brands fully leverage local advantages to make reliable cars affordable for average consumers. If properly maintained, this engine can last a long time, easily over a decade without issues.
