2 Answers
BJ40's engine is from the Saab brand, a 2.4L inline-four naturally aspirated engine with the code name G4CA. It is an improved version of the 2.7L engine previously used in the BAIC Warrior, featuring two power options: 2.0T and 2.3T, capable of delivering up to 320nm and 350nm of torque respectively. The BJ40 is a domestically produced ORV off-road vehicle with body dimensions of 4350mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1837mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2450mm. In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum power of 105kw and a maximum torque of 217nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
As a car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with the BJ40. Its early models were equipped with engines from Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi, like the classic 4G63T series, which delivered strong power but could be a bit noisy during off-roading. Later models, especially those after 2020, upgraded to Great Wall's own GW4C20B engine. During my test drive, I found this engine provides smoother acceleration and better fuel efficiency. When choosing a BJ40, the engine brand makes a significant difference: Mitsubishi engines have cheaper parts and simpler maintenance, making them ideal for experienced off-road drivers; Great Wall's newer engine boasts advanced technology and is more practical for daily commuting, but it's recommended to have the electronic control system checked at authorized service centers during maintenance. Overall, the BJ40 is highly reliable, delivers a wild driving experience, and is an excellent SUV choice.
