Baoluda Automobile is a sibling brand to Bidwin and Reading, similar to the relationship between Geely and Lynk & Co. Baoluda focuses on the mid-range microcar market, utilizing some of Reading's technology to a certain extent.
The overall design of the Baoluda Qijun is simple and stylish, adopting a crossover SUV shape. The front end resembles mainstream high-speed electric vehicles, featuring a fully enclosed grille with a chrome trim around the edges. The Baoluda logo is prominently displayed at the center, which also serves as the charging port. The vehicle is distinguished by LED lens headlights and two pearl light strips on the sides.
This car uses automotive-grade sheet metal materials and undergoes a fully automated process of stamping, welding, painting, and assembly. Reinforced sheet metal is used for the chassis and doors, creating a cage-like, non-load-bearing metal body that provides a strong sense of security for passengers.
In terms of interior space, the car features a five-door, five-seat design. As an A00 model, the rear space is relatively small, offering limited legroom for two adults. However, the driver's seat is spacious enough for someone with a height of 170cm to operate comfortably.
The dashboard is made from one-piece environmentally friendly injection-molded materials, which are odorless. It is accented with an orange trim and equipped with a 7-inch multimedia display supporting CarPlay, giving it a youthful appearance. The seats are fabric, providing a soft and comfortable touch.
Regarding chassis tuning, the car uses a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear leaf spring suspension. The tires are 4.0-14 inch R14 all-terrain run-flat vacuum tires, with the battery placed at the bottom of the vehicle. The overall chassis adjustment provides a comfortable driving experience, distinct from older mobility vehicles.
The car is powered by a 5W permanent magnet synchronous AC motor, with a 72V100Ah lead-acid (or lithium iron phosphate) battery, supporting two-speed transmission and a top speed of 70 km/h. With the ELOOP energy recovery technology, the pure electric range can reach about 250 kilometers. It supports fast charging, achieving a range of 400 kilometers with a 2-hour charge. Additionally, a 4.KW super hybrid range extender can be added, allowing the vehicle to achieve a combined range of over 300 kilometers in economic mode.
Earlier this year, the car underwent a climbing test on the Sichuan-Tibet line in southern Anhui. Even under continuous climbing conditions, the combined range reached 201.3 kilometers, which is more than sufficient for commuting, picking up kids, or grocery shopping.
However, you need a C license to drive this car, and it currently cannot be registered for a highway new energy license plate, restricting its use to urban areas or rural towns. What do you think of the Baoluda Qijun? Feel free to leave us a message!
