Since the Toyota Prado was delisted, the heat of the off-road vehicle market has also decreased a lot, but this situation has changed after the Tank 300 entered the market. As we all know, the tank 300, which is a member of the domestic off-road vehicle, has been in short supply after entering the market, once again setting off a boom in off-road vehicles. However, what we want to talk about today is not the tank 300, but the Beijing off-road that has been steadily advancing in the off-road market, the brand's models are not many, and the more well-known is the BJ40 positioned in the compact SUV market, as well as the BJ80 positioned in the medium and large SUV market. Among them, the BJ40 and the tank 300 are the same positioning, but the starting price of less than 160,000 yuan is much more affordable than the starting price of the tank 300 of nearly 200,000 yuan.
Not only that, the BJ80 positioned in the medium and large SUV market has a starting price of less than 300,000 yuan, and the tank's tank 500, which is the same level as the car, is cut into the market at a pre-price of 335,000 yuan, that is to say, the BJ80 as a veteran is more popular than the tank 500 as a latecomer. In fact, the reason why BJ80 can have high visibility in the off-road market, the low threshold is only one aspect, more or get the blessing of its own product strength, especially the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz G-class, making the car also known as the BAIC version of the "Mercedes-Benz G-class", the choice of off-road vehicles can not forget it.
The appearance of the BJ80 is the same as that of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the whole vehicle adopts the shape of a square box. Like the front part, the three-dimensional cover shape is also similar to the Mercedes-Benz G-class cover shape, but the BJ80's cover has a larger gap with the body. Moving down, you can find that the front bumper of the car is at both ends of the grille, you can also see the round design of the headlights, the difference is that the BJ80 grille adopts the design of the "Window of the Sky", and the concave headlights on both sides are also inlaid with two small circular light strips, and at both ends of the front bumper, you can also see the square shape of the front fog lights, in the case of the aura is not weaker than the Mercedes-Benz G-class, bringing a good degree of recognition.
Coming to the side, the black decorative strips and black skid plates that have appeared on the Mercedes-Benz G-Class are also seen on the BJ80, but the difference is that the BJ80's A-pillar, roof, and rearview mirrors are all blackened to create a suspended roof, showing a mainstream fashion sense. The black decorative strip inlaid on the surface of the body does not adopt a segmented design like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, but directly connects the front and rear wide body wheel eyebrows, combined with the straight waistline design, which widens the visual width of the body to a certain extent.
The differentiation of the rear part of the car is still quite large, the large size spoiler extending from the roof is blackened, the "small school bag" is decorated with silver decorative strips around it, the surface layer is inlaid with black bright plate decoration, plus the convex black rear bumper, which increases the movement of the rear, the vertical placement of the three-dimensional taillights, the overall sense of refinement is not bad, but for the bulky rear, the sense of existence is not strong, but the Mercedes-Benz G-class taillights are not large.
In addition to the more classic appearance, the power of the car is also one of the highlights. Like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the BJ80 has only three models, of which the entry-level model is equipped with a four-cylinder engine and the other two models are equipped with a six-cylinder engine. The BJ80 entry-level model is equipped with a 2.3T four-cylinder engine, matching the 6AT gearbox, bringing the maximum power of 231 horsepower, the other two versions are equipped with a 3.0T six-cylinder engine, in the case of matching the 8AT gearbox, can bring the maximum power of 280 horsepower, although the model equipped with a six-cylinder engine, the performance is weaker than the Performance of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class with a six-cylinder engine, but it is much stronger than the performance of the four-cylinder engine model provided by the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and more importantly, the BJ80 models that provide a six-cylinder engine have a starting price of less than 350,000 yuan, which is much more affordable than the starting price of mercedes-Benz G-Class over 1.84 million yuan.
However, in any case, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is not a competitor of the BJ80, so compared with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the tank 500 that is about to enter the market is what the BJ80 needs to pay special attention to. From the product information released by the tank 500, it can be found that the entry-level version of the car is equipped with a 3.0T six-cylinder engine, supplemented by a 48V light mix system, bringing the maximum power of 354 horsepower, such performance is much stronger than the performance of the BJ80, not only that, compared with the BJ80 that provides a six-cylinder engine, the starting price is nearly 350,000 yuan, and the starting price is less than 340,000 yuan for the tank 500, which is much higher. One is a veteran with a similar appearance to the Mercedes-Benz G-class retro, and the other is a powerful latecomer, which of you think will be more favored by the Chinese people?
