Where is the tow hook located on the Baojun 730?

Because the country currently does not allow private vehicles to tow, the Baojun 730 only has a front tow hook and no rear tow hook. The front tow hook is located on the left or right side of the front bumper. You can install it by removing a small cover. The Baojun 730 is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine. Since the engine power is not very strong, towing will make it even less sufficient. Therefore, it is also advisable to avoid installing a rear tow hook for towing. In case of emergencies, it is better to call a professional towing service. Owners with built-in rear tow hooks should also try to avoid towing casually until they know the maximum weight their vehicle can tow. Towing overweight vehicles or cargo may damage the car. Some cars have detachable tow hooks that need to be assembled before use. After removing the cover on the bumper, you can assemble the hook that comes with the vehicle.
I've been driving the Baojun 730 for several years, and as an owner, I'm very clear about the location of the tow hook. The front tow hook is usually located at the lower right corner of the front bumper, where there's a small plastic cover that can be easily pried open to reveal the mounting bolt hole. The rear tow hook is positioned directly under the rear bumper, also covered by a panel, but you need to be careful to align it properly during installation. This isn't something you use every day; it only comes in handy when towing or rescue is needed, such as getting stuck during an outing. Remember not to overload—the 730 has a maximum towing capacity of around 750 kilograms, as exceeding this can easily damage the chassis. When parking, be careful not to scrape against rocks or low walls to avoid chipping the paint. Simple maintenance will suffice.
As a car enthusiast, I enjoy sharing the tow hook design of the Baojun 730. Its positioning is very standard: the front hook is located in the right bumper area at the bottom of the front end, while the rear hook is positioned directly underneath the rear. Each point is protected by a removable plastic cover—simply lift the cover and screw on the tow hook when needed. I even modified mine by adding an anti-theft lock to prevent tampering. This car isn't a hardcore off-roader, so the tow hooks are only suitable for light towing, like pulling another car in a pinch. When washing the car, it's important to clean the dirt from the gaps around the covers to maintain cleanliness and prolong their lifespan. Once, when a friend's car broke down, I helped tow it—the hook placement really proved crucial.
