The Baojun 310 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine model L2B. It comes from the General Motors Group and is a joint venture product. Below is an introduction to the Baojun 310: 1. In terms of safety, it is equipped with an ABS anti-lock braking system + EBD braking force distribution system, which ensures the vehicle's stability and safety during emergency braking, avoiding dangerous accidents such as skidding and instability caused by loss of control. 2. The new car adopts a brand-new CROSS design. The front air intake grille, fog lights, etc., have been redesigned, and lens headlights have been added. The front face and sides have been enhanced with black surrounds, and the rear bumper and taillight design have been modified. The front face features a "double U" shape, with a three-horizontal-slat design for the front air intake grille. The headlights are sharp in shape, equipped with internal lenses, and feature L-shaped light eyebrows. 3. For the interior, a dark color scheme is used. The seats are two-tone, combining black with orange on both sides, highlighting sporty elements.

The Baojun 310 uses a domestically produced engine, independently developed and manufactured by SAIC-GM-Wuling. I've driven this car, and it's equipped with a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine, model code LMH. The throttle response feels quite sensitive when driving, and the power is sufficient for city traffic without being fuel-consuming. However, the engine's noise control is average, and the sound becomes noticeably louder at higher RPMs. Daily maintenance is very affordable; you can get it done at a local repair shop, with an oil change plus the three filters costing just over 200 yuan. This engine shares the same powertrain series as the Wuling Hongguang, so parts are widely available, and it maintains a relatively high resale value.

The engine of the Baojun 310 is produced at the Liuzhou factory, a genuine domestic engine. Although the 1.2L small-displacement engine may seem unremarkable, it boasts mature technology, having been improved upon a technical platform provided by General Motors. I've seen disassembly cases—it features a cast iron cylinder block paired with an aluminum cylinder head, offering a simple structure that's easy to maintain. With a maximum horsepower of around 80, when paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, it handles climbing slopes with four adults effortlessly. Domestic engines like this have seen significant technological advancements nowadays, unlike a decade ago when oil leaks were common. Under normal driving conditions, it can easily cover 100,000 kilometers without major overhauls.

I own a Baojun 310, which I've been driving for over three years. Its L2B engine is an in-house product of SAIC-GM-Wuling. I bought this car for its reliability and affordability, and the engine has indeed lived up to expectations. The fuel consumption is exceptionally low, only about 5-6 liters per 100 kilometers, making it easy on the wallet even when fuel prices rise. Although it's not particularly powerful, the well-matched chassis tuning ensures stability, and the engine's weight distribution is reasonable when cornering. As for drawbacks, it tends to shake for a few seconds during cold starts in winter, but it smooths out once warmed up. This engine was developed with reference to Chevrolet's technology, but all its components are domestically produced, keeping costs low.
