Remember that in September this year, when BAIC announced the suspension of the 212 model, many netizens who were very emotional about it expressed their reluctance, but just recently, a message about 212 made the majority of netizens excited - BAIC or will launch a new 212 model in 2022, and recently on the Internet has circulated its trailer, from the picture, the new 212 still retains a lot of iconic design elements, making people feel very kind.
The design is new, and the front face is more in line with the design of the BJ series
Specifically, the body contour of the new 212 has not changed much, and the styling continues the square and tough shape of the old model. However, compared with the old model, the new 212 is more angular in the portrayal of details, away from the original Soviet-style SUV somewhat sleek visual sense, it has become sharper and more masculine, just from the trailer can be seen, it must be able to get a lot of young people's love.
And from the perspective of BAIC's official publicity, the new 212 will also apply more modern and technological elements on the body, such as its retro round lights have been retained, but it has added LED ring daily running lights and headlight groups, the design of the wheel eyebrows is also more wide and straight, and the trendy wheel hub style and AT tires look wild. From the outside alone, it even has some mercedes-benz big G and Land Rover Defender shadows.
In the rear part, the new 212 adopts the design of the tail mount spare tire, and cancels the down-opening tailgate of the old model, that is to say, the new 212 will no longer have a closed rear space, but like today's mainstream SUVs, with a penetrating crew compartment, the storage capacity should be higher, can be more adapted to the needs of today's ordinary consumers, and is more friendly to self-driving tour users.
In terms of interior, since the current trailer only stays in the exterior part of the vehicle, we still have no way of knowing what the layout of the interior of the car is. However, some netizens released a suspected new 212 interior rendering, as can be seen from the picture, its overall design is avant-garde, the overall texture in addition to the hard school, and even some similar to the tank 300 sense of high-end, it is worth mentioning that its gear handle is still next to the control handle of the transfer box, that is, its time-sharing four-wheel drive system should be retained.
Speaking of the transfer case, let's look at its chassis and power, the new car is expected to continue the non-loader body of the previous model and the front double wishbone independent suspension and the integral bridge non-independent rear suspension, the engine is expected to use Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi's 1.5T and 2.4T gasoline engines, matching the time-sharing four-wheel drive system and 5MT/6MT transmission, of course, these are just speculations, maybe when the new 212 is listed, it will bring us more surprises in terms of power.
Write at the end
Today, BAIC's 212 is back, which is absolutely good news for people who love hardcore off-road vehicles, since the launch of the Tank 300, China's hardcore off-road vehicle market has exploded with unprecedented spending power, and BAIC 212, as the elder in this field, naturally cannot miss such a large market. So it's understandable that 212's makeover is back, and no matter what, we're all looking forward to its 2022 debut and hopefully it'll really surprise us.
