As a classic off-road SUV born in 1965, the BJ212 has been around for 56 years and can be called a living fossil in domestic cars. The SUV was also officially discontinued this year, for no other reason, mainly because its design, workmanship, materials, chassis, etc. are out of step with the times, so that sales are few, more as a BAIC totem and exist.
Now that the new BJ212 is about to be released, it not only has a stronger sense of refinement, but also the outdated interior that has been criticized has been further improved. Coupled with its own some certain off-road capabilities, if the future new car can continue the current price of 80,000 yuan, there will still be a good market prospect.
A few days ago, the domestic media exposed a set of new generation BJ212 renderings, it is reported that the new car is expected to return to the passenger car market next year.
From the design drawings, the new generation of BJ 212 continues the classic styling elements of many existing models, including a raised arched engine canopy, a three-hole front grille and a double circular headlight set, and retains the classic anti-aircraft lamp design. At the same time, on this basis, the new car is suspected of using led headlight sources, and increase the ring LED daytime running lights.
The change in the side of the car seems to be insignificant, and similar to the current hard-top square door version of the model, the visual experience of the new car will be more rigid, and it will have better closure and a stronger modern sense than the soft-top design. The rear contour of the car is still square, retaining the external spare tire, square headlights, and the side-open trunk that everyone is looking forward to may be used in the new model of the new car.
In terms of equipment, the new generation of BJ 212 is equipped with a roof frame, roof spotlights, high intake system, bullpen bars, front winch, etc., and is equipped with a new BAW logo inside the front grille. Judging from the design drawings, the new car is suspected of continuing to provide two body structures of hard top and canvas soft top.
From the interior part, the new car also adopts a retro design, but the addition of full LCD instruments and embedded central control screens brings more modern elements to the vehicle. At the same time, near the central control screen, the vehicle also added a large number of physical buttons, and the integration of mechanical sense and technology is very in place.
The new generation of BJ 212 is expected to continue its non-load-bearing body design. For reference, the BJ 212 currently on sale is available in 1.5T and 2.4T engines, and the suppliers are from Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi. The drivetrain is mated to a 5-speed manual or 6-speed manual transmission. At the same time, professional off-road configurations such as three differential locks and time-sharing four-wheel drive systems will not be absent on the new car.
