Since the Release of the Tank Series models by the Great Wall, the hardcore off-road market, which was previously only concerned by a very small number of people, has gradually entered the eyes of more people, which has indirectly prompted the former veteran off-road vehicle companies to move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
After moving to the front of the stage, various car companies have begun to develop new models to gain more market share. After all, after experiencing the darkest hour, no car company is willing to go back to continue to "guard" the rear.
Recently, a set of road test spy photos of the suspected new BJ60 circulated on the Internet, although the body is covered with a layer of camouflage stickers, but it can still see some clues.
From the general outline of the front part of the front of the body, it is not difficult to find that the new car and other models of their own use of the same square tough design style, the "three-hole" forward grille is more exquisite than their own models, the circular headlights on both sides add a bit of retro flavor to the new car, and the lower bumper is similar to the use of a split design, which adds a little layering to the new car while also losing weight, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The side part of the new car outlines the muscle sense of the BJ60 through the straight body waistline, and the flat and square window shape above and the trapezoidal wheel arch design on the top add a bit of retro feeling to the new car to a certain extent.
In addition, the "three circumferences" of the new car reached 5020/1955/1925mm, and the wheelbase was 2800mm, which also aimed the spearhead at the tank 500 next door. Although the wheelbase performance of the new car is slightly smaller than that of the tank 500, from the perspective of the off-road vehicle, the smaller wheelbase can improve the longitudinal passage of the vehicle, effectively reducing the risk of chassis being stuck when passing through some small angles of arched road.
The rear of the vehicle is not embellished with too many lines to make it look fuller. In addition, the vertical arrangement of the taillight group also adds a bit of sporty color to the new car to a certain extent.
It is worth mentioning that the "small school bag" used to highlight the attributes of its own hardcore off-road vehicle has also been retained, and this design is also doomed to the tailgate of the car can only be opened from the side.
Although the BJ60 is positioned as a hardcore off-road vehicle, its performance in the interior layout breaks people's previous inherent perception of hardcore off-road vehicles.
Judging from the pictures, the three-frame steering wheel, rectangular air conditioner outlet and physical buttons have been continued, while the emergence of full LCD instruments and floating central control large screens has added a bit of technology to the new car. In addition, it is reported that in addition to the 5-seat version of the new car, it has also launched a 7-seat version of the model.
Personally, I think that the launch of the 7-seat version of the model seems to be a bit redundant for the BJ60, which is positioned as a hardcore off-road model, after all, no one will choose to drag the family to the desert toss. In daily life, few people are willing to choose such a hard-core off-road vehicle for transportation.
According to the parameter chart of this exposure, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, the matching transmission system is an 8AT gearbox, some models will be equipped with a 48-volt mix system, and the new car will also provide a range extender version, although the power of the range increase has not yet been exposed, but it is expected to be more abundant than the power of the fuel version of the model.
In addition, as a hardcore off-road vehicle, the BJ60 should use a non-load-bearing body structure, with the time-sharing four-wheel drive system, the vehicle's off-road capabilities have been greatly improved.
Combined with the exposure of the 200,000-350,000 price range, the overall cost performance of the BJ60 is still high, but if you want to "snipe" the tank 500, the pressure of the BJ60 is still relatively large, after all, the recognition of the tank series models in the hearts of the Chinese people is still relatively high.
