Perhaps because of the hot sales of the Tank 300, the domestic hardcore SUV market has been activated, and now, the hardcore off-road vehicle is becoming more and more popular. Major brands have rolled up their sleeves to engage in hard-core off-road, and among them, the most famous is mainly divided into "two gates", one is the tank family represented by the Great Wall and the Haval H9 model, and the other is the BJ family represented by BAIC.
Last year, the "big brother" of tank 300, tank 500 opened pre-sale, and the price directly soared to 335,000 yuan -395,000 yuan.

However, in the face of the high-end off-road market, Beijing Automobile has also begun to move, and after the BJ40, the spy photos of the BJ60 have also been frequently exposed. Recently, new news has come out of the new car. The new car is expected to be mass-produced in the fourth quarter of this year, and the price will be lower than the tank 500, which is expected to be between 200,000 and 290,000.
Recently, BJ60 road test spy photos exposed, the new car is a grade higher than the BJ40, from the current situation, it is also a proper hardcore off-road, in appearance, different from the BJ40, the new car uses a "three-hole grille", which looks more atmospheric. Moreover, the body contour is more square, and the roof is slightly sunken. It is reported that the new car adopts trapezoidal wheel arches, also carries a "small school bag", is equipped with an external spare tire, and the ground clearance is higher than that of ordinary SUV models.
A few days ago, the media exposed the BJ60 interior, using a large size suspension central control screen, the steering wheel belongs to the family style, and there is not much new and the new car is equipped with an electronic handbrake and AUTO HOLD function, the right knob can see the differential lock logo logo on the entire style, the interior design is also a hard style, and there is not much technology decoration, nor too many tricks on the color matching, very "MAN" style.
