The most cost-effective hard-core off-road vehicle within 200,000 yuan! Test drive 2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition

For off-road enthusiasts, it was difficult to associate "off-road vehicle" with "cost performance" in the past. In recent years, with the rise of road trip in China, the market segments of off-road vehicles have also emerged. Domestic independent brands have also set foot in the field of hard-core off-road vehicles, bringing hard-core off-road vehicles closer to ordinary people. BJ40, a Beijing off-road brand owned by BAIC Group, is a good representative.

In fact, according to consumers' daily car use scenarios, it is best for a car to meet the needs of both urban traffic and off-road traffic. Therefore, Beijing Off-Road seized the market demand and launched the BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition. The 2020 BJ40 urban hunter model was also officially launched on May 27th.

The new car * * * introduces four models, and the price range is 159800- 189800 yuan. As an annual change, the new car comes standard with 2.0T+8AT powertrain.

The face value is fashionable and hard-core, the interior craftsmanship is exquisite, or is it an off-road vehicle you know?

The scene test drive mode is closest to consumers. On the marketing level, Beijing cross-country chooses to cooperate with well-known domestic travel destinations, deeply matching cross-country routes with tourist routes, and creating a brand-new cross-country travel experience integrating urban scenery and humanities, leisure in characteristic homestays, and test drive of cross-country subjects. When # Looking for City # came to Rongcheng, 2020 BJ40 City Hunter Edition met the best performance scene.

As a hard-core off-road vehicle, the 2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition has adopted a square and tough design. The front face is heavily chrome plated, and an external trailer hook is added to the silver bumper guard.

LED headlights and rectangular daytime running lights are arranged on both sides of the front of the car respectively. The bumper at the bottom is also decorated with chrome, with dazzling silver guard and lightweight two-color wheels, which can not only meet the fashion demand of daily urban cars, but also meet the hard-core demand of going outdoors on holidays.

If the design is both fashionable and hard-core, the new car has also been "softened" in the interior. After all, people who really sit in the cockpit, no matter what kind of car scene, are absolutely unwilling to leave the words comfort and luxury.

It can be seen from the ignition button position of the 2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition that this car still wants to stand out. The whole interior design can be said to be exquisite, revealing the elements that a hard-core off-road vehicle should have, such as the armrest in front of the co-pilot.

Although it is a hard-core off-road vehicle, the 2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition provides an atmosphere light, which has a sense of urban trends. 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel is also the standard configuration of the whole system. 10 inch central control panel, although the difficulty and manual fluency are good, does not support the interconnection between Carplay and Baidu Carlife. Is this the last stubbornness of hard-core SUVs?

2.0T+8AT power upgrade, off-road and urban.

As an annual modified model, the biggest change of 2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition comes from the improvement of power system. The 2020 BJ40 City Hunter Edition is equipped with a brand-new 2.0T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 224Ps and a maximum torque of 380 N m. Compared with the 2.3T engine, the horsepower is 7Ps lower, but the torque is actually 35N·m higher. In terms of transmission system, the gearbox has also been upgraded from the original 6AT to the 8AT of ZF.

After driving on the road, I believe your first impression must be how this 2020 BJ40 urban hunter model can be driven so easily, without the feeling of a hard-core off-road vehicle at all, because it comes from the consideration of adjustment.

Let's praise the feeling of suspension first. After all, it is a non-load-bearing body structure, which is really a test for the comfort of the car. The visual center of gravity of the 2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition is on the high side, but in the actual driving experience, this car will not give people a wobbly feeling. Most importantly, for hard-core off-road vehicles, it is necessary to ensure a clear sense of road and give consideration to comfort. Facing the slight vibration of potholes, girders can help you resist the sense of shock, but you can also feel the sense of road. Coupled with the soft seat, these uncomfortable experiences from the chassis can be well solved.

In terms of power feedback, the 2.0T engine can guarantee your power reserve well, so don't worry at all. Even at the speed of 100km/h, you will still feel the explosion of power when you step on the accelerator. ZF's 8AT gearbox is definitely the best partner of this engine, and the shifting logic is particularly positive. However, it must be admitted that there is still room for improvement in the linearity of throttle and brake. The forward adjustment of the throttle is very sensitive, which is a plus item for this size model. But if you step on the accelerator again, the power will be fierce and slightly abrupt. The braking force reflected by the brake pedal is also an obvious feeling in the early and late stages.

As far as the quietness of NHV is concerned, when the vehicle speed reaches 100km/h, although the detachable roof structure is adopted, the vehicle can well suppress tire noise and wind noise, and the conversation of people inside the vehicle will not be disturbed.

Unfortunately, the officially arranged cross-country test drive section has been closed because of the rain, and this time I didn't feel the cross-country performance. However, according to the driving experience of previous models, the off-road capability of the 2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition is not bad. The ultra-high approach angle/departure angle of 37/31,the maximum trench width of 500mm, the wading depth of more than 600mm, the non-loaded body and the three-dimensional protective frame of the pipe cage, the strong passability and excellent safety guarantee can all enhance your cross-country confidence. The four-wheel drive system of 2020 BJ40 City Hunter Edition adopts part-time 4wd structure, and the front and rear axle open differential is supplemented by electronic slip limit. The driving mode is controlled by the electronic knob, so it is not necessary to stop when switching from 2h to 4h, and it is necessary to stop and shift into N gear when switching from 4h to 4l.

2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition, a hard-core off-road vehicle with high cost performance.

2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition, as an annual modified model, has improved its power and improved its product strength qualitatively. In the domestic hard-core SUV market, in the price range of10.5 million to 0.2 million yuan, it is really difficult to find competing models competing with the 2020 BJ40 Urban Hunter Edition. Therefore, the positioning of Beijing off-road brand is very good, with square and tough fashion design and full of scientific and technological interior, which can fully meet the needs of young people's first hard-core off-road vehicle; Strong four-wheel drive capability and passability can meet the demand of other consumer groups for a cost-effective hard-core off-road vehicle.
