Which is more fuel-efficient, Baojun 730 or Lingxuan?
2 Answers
Baojun 730's MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption (L/100km): 6.3L-8L, Lingxuan's MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption (L/100km): 6.9L-7L. The difference in fuel consumption between the two vehicles is not significant, as actual fuel consumption is determined by factors such as driving habits and road conditions. More details are as follows: 1. Lingxuan is equipped with a 1.6L and a 1.5T engine. The 1.6L engine has a maximum power of 92kW and a peak torque of 160Nm; the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 115kW and a peak torque of 225Nm. It is paired with a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, or 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. Baojun 730 is equipped with a 1.5L and a 1.8L gasoline engine, with three displacement options: 1.5L, 1.5T, and 1.8L. It offers four transmission choices: AMT, dual-clutch, manual, and continuously variable transmission (CVT). The engine has a maximum power of 114.0kW, maximum horsepower of 155PS, and maximum torque of 230.0N·m.
I've owned a Baojun 730 for two years, and my friend often lends me his Lingxuan. Comparatively, the Baojun 730 is noticeably more fuel-efficient. For daily city commuting, the Baojun averages around 7.3L per 100km, while the Lingxuan can go above 7.8L. The difference is smaller on highways, about 6.5L vs. 6.7L. I prefer smooth driving, and the Baojun's engine tuning focuses more on fuel economy, with its lighter weight also helping. Over time, I've noticed that a full tank in the Baojun can take me 20-30 kilometers further, and maintenance is simpler—just using 92-octane fuel is enough. Before buying, it's best to test drive with a fuel consumption meter to check real-world conditions, not just rely on official data. Driving style has a big impact; aggressive acceleration will make any car consume more fuel.
