Where is the tow hook of the Baojun 510?

Baojun 510's rear tow hook is located in the trunk, under a small cover on the bumper; the front tow hook is under the front chassis of the vehicle, where a screwdriver can be used to pry open the cover to reveal the mounting hole for the tow hook. The tow hook is a ball-type towing device used for towing trailers, yachts, motorcycles, RVs, bicycle racks, luggage racks, etc. Its source module can supply power to the trailer and mounted devices, and can synchronize with the main vehicle's taillight system. Taking the 2021 Baojun 510 manual transmission model as an example: it is a compact SUV produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling, with dimensions of 4220mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1615mm in height, a wheelbase of 2550mm, equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 73kw, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I remember once when I was driving my Baojun 510 for a trip, the car broke down halfway and I needed to find the tow hook. It's usually hidden near the front and rear bumpers, which is a common design for most compact SUVs. On the Baojun 510, there's a small round cover under the front bumper—just pry it open to reveal the tow hook mounting point. There’s often a similar opening in the middle of the rear bumper as well. I recommend checking it during regular maintenance or saving a screenshot of the vehicle manual on your phone just in case. Installing the tow hook is straightforward—simply screw it in—but make sure to align it properly with the threaded hole and avoid using excessive force to prevent damage. In an emergency towing situation, ensure the tow rope is securely attached and drive slowly to minimize vibrations. The Baojun is quite sturdy, and its towing design is user-friendly. Understanding your car’s structure can save you a lot of trouble.
The tow hook of the Baojun 510 is generally fixed at the front and rear ends of the vehicle. The front position is in the central recess of the front bumper, and the towing ring can be installed by lifting the small plastic cover; there is also a spare point at the lower middle of the rear bumper. As someone who frequently repairs this type of vehicle, I always remind owners to first check the vehicle manual or a physical demonstration, as the exact location may vary. Don’t mistake it for other parts. When installing, use the matching hook and apply some oil before tightening to prevent rust and ensure durability. When towing, select a low gear, avoid sudden acceleration or braking, and prevent tire slippage that could damage the chassis. Regularly check if the frame or suspension is secure, especially after rain or snow, as mud accumulation on the chassis can affect the safety of the tow rope connection. The tow hook design of the Baojun is quite standard, making it easy even for beginners to handle.
