Beijing BJ40
The Beijing BJ40 is a Chinese off-road vehicle produced by BAIC Motor. Originally branded directly as a BAIC product, the vehicle series was rebadged under the Beijing brand after the brand was introduced in 2019. The exterior styling of the first generation of the vehicle resembles that of the Jeep Wrangler.[citation needed]
The first generation BJ40 is divided into four trim levels, the BJ40 S (Super), BJ40 P (Professional), BJ40 C (City) and BJ40 SE (Special Edition). They were designated for different target consumer groups.
The BAIC B40/BJ40 originally debuted as a concept during the 2010 Beijing Auto Show, and it was controversial as it resembled the iconic Jeep Wrangler.
The BJ40 production car debuted at the 2013 Guangzhou Auto Show. The BJ naming system stands for Beijing-Jeep, because in the 1980s Beijing Automotive Engineering Company (predecessor of today's BAIC) signed an agreement with the American brand Jeep, forming the company Beijing Jeep Corporation (which would soon acquire other companies and to become BAIC). Through this agreement, the BAIC BJ40 (Beijing-Jeep) would go on sale based on the Jeep Wrangler.
The BJ40 comes with a 2.4 liter four-cylinder petrol engine producing 107 kW (143 hp) and 217 N⋅m (160 lb⋅ft) of torque mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox with a minimum ground clearance of 210 mm, an approach angle of 37°, departure angle of 33°, and a 24° vertical angle.
The BAIC BJ40L is the 4-door long wheelbase version of the BJ40 and it debuted on the 2016 Beijing Auto Show which also previewed the facelift of the BJ40. Prices for the BJ40L ranges from 129,800 to 179,800 yuan.
A facelift was launched for the BJ40 2019 model year. The facelift cancelled the "L" nameplate with the 4-door models renamed to BJ40 Plus. The 2019 model also features a revised front fascia design and updated tail lamps and rear bumper. The update also features a revised front and rear end styling, and a 2.0 liter turbo engine producing 160 kW (215 hp) and 320 N⋅m (236 lb⋅ft) of torque. Foreign market BJ40 Plus, like one destined to Indonesia, has a different 2.0 liter turbo made by HYCET producing 165 kW (221 hp) and 380 N⋅m (280 lb⋅ft) of torque.
A version called the Beijing BJ40 Plus City Hunter Edition was also revealed in 2019 via the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. The BJ40 City Hunter Edition is part of the BJ40 "C" series trim level which stands for "City". In terms of technology, the infotainment system is equipped with an upgraded 2.0 intelligent voice interaction system, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, 10-inch smart car display and streaming media with an automatic anti-glare rear view mirror. The version also has interior features including surround sound, voice control, power seat and three-speed heating seat to meet the needs of urban users of the "C" trim.
