Which has higher actual fuel consumption, Baojun 530 or 730?

[LeviAnn]

The actual fuel consumption of Baojun 530 is 6.8-7.9L/100km, while that of Baojun 730 is 6.3-8.0L/100km. It can be seen that Baojun 530 has slightly higher fuel consumption. Baojun 530: The latest top version of Baojun 530 has a body length, width and height of 4695(mm)x1835(mm)x1750(mm), with a wheelbase of 2750(mm). Baojun 530 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 147Ps, maximum power of 108kW, maximum torque of 250N.m, and is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulated 8-speed) gearbox. Baojun 730: The latest top version of Baojun 730 has a body length, width and height of 4780(mm)x1780(mm)x1775(mm), with a wheelbase of 2750(mm). Baojun 730 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 147Ps, maximum power of 108kW, maximum torque of 250N.m, and is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulated 8-speed) gearbox.

I've been driving a Baojun for several years, and people often ask about this. The Baojun 530 is an SUV, while the 730 is an MPV. From practical use, the 730 usually has slightly higher fuel consumption. When I drive the 530 in the city, the combined fuel consumption is about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can drop below 7 liters on the highway. When the 730 is fully loaded, city driving easily exceeds 9 liters, especially during traffic jams where frequent starts consume more fuel. Since the 730 is larger, heavier, and has higher wind resistance, it’s common to see an extra 0.5 to 1 liter of fuel consumption under the same engine conditions. Of course, driving habits like aggressive acceleration can also increase fuel consumption. If you want to save money, the 530 is more fuel-efficient, but the 730 offers more practical space.

As a fan who often researches car data, the fuel consumption comparison between the Baojun 530 and 730 is as follows: the official combined figures are 7.3L/100km for the 530 and 7.6L for the 730. However, real-world tests commonly show the 530 stabilizing between 7.5 to 8.5, while the 730 jumps to around 8 to 10. The higher consumption of the 730 is mainly due to its heavier weight and greater aerodynamic drag, especially when fully loaded on highways, where fuel consumption spikes significantly. Both models are equipped with similar 1.5T engines and have comparable tuning, so the normal driving difference of 0.5 liters isn't very noticeable. In city stop-and-go traffic, the 730 is more sensitive, consuming more fuel even on small uphill starts. It's advisable to check real owner feedback, such as on forums, where the 730's average is slightly higher, but with good fuel and regular maintenance, some optimization can be squeezed out.

Long-distance travel experience tells me that the Baojun 530 and 730 have minor differences in highway fuel consumption. The 530 SUV has a smaller drag design, averaging about 7 liters per 100 km on highways. The 730 MPV has a lower center of gravity for better stability, but due to its weight, it also consumes around 8 liters on highways. The difference is more noticeable in the city: the 730 starts slower and tends to consume more fuel, especially with frequent traffic lights, reaching up to 9 liters, while the 530 is lighter and manages around 8 liters. Overall, the 730 is slightly higher, and driving style matters—smooth starts save fuel. Road conditions are also key; the 730 shows less advantage in suburban areas. Proper maintenance of air filters and spark plugs helps reduce fuel consumption for both.
