The biggest topic of domestic hardcore off-road in March is probably the Force Tank 500, as the car makes up for the gap in the Prado and Land Patrol markets where they can't import into China.
However, the tank 500 may not be on the market for long, because the Beijing off-road BJ60 has released information to the outside world.
You know, on the pure off-road ability, the BAIC BJ series has always been tougher than the Great Wall, even after the emergence of the tank 300, for pure off-road enthusiasts, it is still the BJ40 more suitable for survival in the barbaric zone.
Therefore, the emergence of BJ60 can definitely put a lot of pressure on the tank 500.
The reason for this is that the news of Beijing's off-road release seems to be aimed at the tank 500.
Judging from the released line drawings, the design direction of the BJ60 is basically the same as that of the tank 500. At the same time, it also gives the data of the body of 5 meters + and the acceleration performance of 6 seconds to break through 100, which shows that the bearing capacity and power performance of this car are stronger than the tank 500.
What is more attractive is that BAIC officials also gave a range of 1000 km + data. This shows that the BJ60 is difficult to be a pure fuel SUV, after all, such a large car, want to live 1000 kilometers, even with the auxiliary fuel tank is difficult to do.
Then this car is probably a plug-in hybrid system, or even an off-road vehicle with electric drive as the main fuel range. I believe that this will be the most desired equipment for many people who like off-road styling and are afraid of fuel consumption.
Of course, there is another sound, that is, the endurance of 1000 km + is likely to rely on diesel engines with auxiliary fuel tanks, which may be a smoke bomb released by the manufacturer, or it may be an alternative.
After all, it is only the line draft stage, and the future direction of the car is not easy to determine. However, due to the restrictions on diesel vehicles in major cities in China, diesel engines may only be a certain model of BJ60.
But no matter how it is achieved, the official goal released by the Beijing off-road BJ60 is a body of 5 meters + , a speed of breaking 100 in 6 seconds, and an endurance of 1000 kilometers + . As long as the product can be achieved, it is the gospel of Chinese off-road enthusiasts, and I believe that the emergence of BJ60 can truly end the monopoly position of Japanese off-road vehicles in China.
