In the field of hardcore off-road, BAIC is a late set up early, how classic BJ212 is self-evident, but decades of not changing the model and not upgrading it has also made it miss the market, and even the entire brand has borne the insult of not thinking of making progress. Of course, before the Tank 300, perhaps no one could have imagined that the cake of the hardcore off-road market was so big, and now, after the Tank 300 harvested more than 80,000 huge sales last year, BAIC looked at the results of Beijing Off-Road that year with less than 30,000 vehicles, and could not wait to scrape this dividend. The BJ212 is finally in preparation for a replacement, and a new model is about to be launched, which is the BJ60.
The BJ60 naked car has not yet been exposed, but some clues can be seen from the highly camouflaged spy photos, and the new middle grid grid is more exquisite than the products under the brand's existing matrix, and the round split headlights are very distinctive. The front of the car looks layered and heavy.
The size of the BJ60 reached 5020/1955/1925 mm, which is very close to the tank 500 circumference, positioned in the medium and large SUV model, the overall look is indeed more domineering, and the lines are outlined with a muscular feeling, and the rear of the car is also equipped with an external spare tire, which further enhances the momentum. And the BJ60 will also provide 5-seat and 7-seat versions, however, the 2800 mm wheelbase is slightly smaller than the tank 500's 2850 mm, but from the perspective of hardcore off-road is actually more reasonable, the smaller the wheelbase can improve the longitudinal passage angle, the less likely the bottom of the vehicle is to be held up when passing some obstacles such as hillock arches, and the vehicle's pass performance and off-road ability are stronger.
In the Beijing off-road family, the interior of this BJ60 model should also be the closest to the trend aesthetic, the dashboard is a full LCD display, the rectangular suspension screen size looks very huge, the air conditioning outlet layout is still under the screen, but finally changed the BJ40 above the outdated shape similar to the aesthetic fatigue of the North Character.
The BJ60 uses the hardcore off-road iconic non-bearer body structure, equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, matching the 8AT transmission, some models will be equipped with a 48V light mixing system, the whole series with a time-sharing four-wheel drive system, to meet the National VI emission standards, the suspension is a front and rear independent design. In addition, the above information shows that the BJ60 will also provide a range extender version, although the power configuration of the extender is not currently exposed, but there is not much suspense This version of the power performance should be much stronger than the fuel version, and really have the confidence to benchmark the 3.0T V6 engine of the standard tank 500, or even surpass. Referring to the current power performance of several extended range cars on the market, the ideal ONE of 1.5T has a maximum power of 260KW, and the Landu FREE is even higher than 510KW, if the extended range version of BJ60 can also use a 2.0T engine, it is bound to be not bad.
Judging from the limited information of BJ60, manufacturers actually have expectations for this car, but whether they can grab food from the tank mouth or wait for more information to be exposed.
