The appearance is similar to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the V6-powered super Prado! It’s time for this domestic off-road vehicle to become popular

Hard-core off-road vehicles are the dream of many people. This kind of vehicle can not only bring super passability, but also realize the dream of self-driving travel of "poetry and distance" . But when it comes to hard-core off-road SUVs, everyone’s ideal model is often the Mercedes-Benz Grand G or the Toyota Prado. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a domineering appearance and a square box shape that gives it a tough guy aura, while the Toyota Prado is very reliable and large. There are almost no faults with the displacement naturally aspirated engine, and you will feel at ease when traveling through no man's land. So can’t the domestic field produce off-road vehicles with domineering appearance and powerful power?

In fact, BAIC Group is about to launch a new hard-core off-road SUV. This car is the v6 version of BAIC BJ80. The appearance of this model is similar to that of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Except for the BAIC five-hole air intake grille and the Beijing Chinese character logo in front of the front of the car, the other parts are basically the design language of the Mercedes-Benz G500. Especially the side of the car body is difficult to identify. The BAIC BJ80 also has a square box shape. After this update, more diversified color schemes will be provided, such as red and black color matching and a new desert gray paint.

The size of the updated BJ80 has not been significantly changed, but the ground clearance of the vehicle has been slightly reduced by 20mm. It may be that the designer team hopes that the high-speed performance of the entire vehicle will be stronger. However, the front bumper of this model has a larger bevel angle, the approach angle reaches 39 degrees, and the departure angle is increased to 33 degrees, which will actually improve the vehicle's passability. The large spare tire box is retained at the rear of the car, and this time a ring-shaped chrome-plated decorative strip is specially added to make the vehicle's high-end feel more prominent.

The main highlight of this update is the new engine. The old model Saab 2.3T four-cylinder engine was abandoned and replaced with a 3.0T displacement V6 engine provided by Lingte Power. This Lingte Power is actually Liuzhou Wuling Alt Power Co., Ltd.’s newly developed V6 engine has a maximum output of 280 horsepower, which is the same as the Toyota Prado’s 3.5-liter displacement engine. However, the peak torque of the new BJ80 engine can reach 420 Nm, which is higher than the Toyota Prado’s 365 Nm. m, overall the paper data of this V6 engine surpasses the Prado engine.

What is even more surprising is that the new electronically controlled part-time four-wheel drive system can support torque amplification, and the ultimate amplification can reach 2.72 times. If you are trapped in extreme road conditions and turn on the low-speed four-wheel drive mode, The super torque can help the whole car get out of trouble easily. Even if it encounters difficult cross-axle road conditions, the differential lock configuration can be turned on. As long as the one-way wheel has adhesion, the probability of the car getting stuck will be greatly reduced. This BJ80 will become a relatively rare V6 model in the field of domestic off-road vehicles, and its off-road capabilities are naturally at the flagship level.

Although the BAIC BJ80 model has been on the market for a long time, this car has not become popular. This time it is replaced with a V6 engine, the product will be more attractive, and the appearance and interior are changed to the Chinese characters for "Beijing" The car logo and the abandonment of BAIC's "nostril" graphic logo are details that consumers are more concerned about. If the price positioning of the new V6 model is on the people-friendly route, then the BJ80 will become popular after the update.
