2 Answers
The Baojun 560 engine is produced in China and is independently developed by Wuling Liuji, a subsidiary of Guangxi Automobile Group. The Baojun 560 is positioned as a compact SUV. The dimensions of this vehicle are 4620mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1765mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. The manual version measures 4620mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1755mm in height. In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine across all variants, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. For the interior, the dashboard layout resembles that of the Baojun 730, featuring a 10-inch large touchscreen entertainment system, two knobs in the control area, a multifunction steering wheel, and a one-button start system.
The engine of the Baojun 560 is mainly produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling's Wuling Liuzhou plant, which has a dedicated engine production workshop in Liuzhou, Guangxi, China. A friend of mine has been driving this car for years and often talks about its engine. He mentions that it comes in 1.5L and 1.8L naturally aspirated variants, both domestically assembled, with decent reliability and stable power output, making it particularly suitable for city driving. Wuling is a major manufacturer, collaborating with General Motors, and their quality control is quite strict. Local production helps with cost control, and car parts are easy to find. As the heart of the car, with proper maintenance, the engine can last over ten years. Regular oil changes and filter checks are key to keeping the car fuel-efficient and quiet. Overall, this car offers good value for money—while not a luxury brand, it’s more than sufficient for daily use.
