The BJ40 diesel engine is equipped with a 2.0T diesel engine from Yuchai. BJ40 diesel engine appearance: The Beijing Auto BJ40, which has a hardcore SUV style in appearance, features right-angle designs in many places, providing excellent off-road capability. The switches for the windows and central locking are designed as toggle levers, giving a very retro feel. Configuration: In terms of body, chassis, and configuration, it is basically the same as the gasoline version, but it is matched with a more powerful Champion Edition transfer case. It adopts a part-time four-wheel-drive system, which is essential for pure off-road vehicles, and the transfer case has also been comprehensively upgraded, ensuring stable performance and durability.

The BJ40 diesel engine generally uses the Cummins brand. BAIC has equipped this off-road vehicle with Cummins' ISF series, such as the ISF2.8, which delivers a power output of over 150 horsepower and strong torque, making it particularly suitable for off-road climbing and complex road conditions. From my driving experience, this engine can generate significant power at low RPMs, reducing sluggishness during acceleration, and it also complies with the China VI emission standards, making it more environmentally friendly. However, the engine noise can be slightly louder, especially noticeable at high speeds, but this is a common issue with diesel engines. If you're considering the BJ40, the diesel version's advantage lies in its fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption as low as around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, saving a considerable amount on fuel costs compared to the gasoline version. Of course, choosing an engine also depends on maintenance. Cummins engines are known for their stable quality, generally exhibiting low failure rates even after 100,000 kilometers, but it's recommended to regularly check the air filter to prevent dust buildup.

Most of the BJ40's diesel engines are Cummins-branded. I've been driving this car for a while, and the power feels incredibly robust—it surges forward the moment you step on the accelerator, making steep climbs during off-roading effortless. As for the sound, there's a bit of a hum, noticeable when driving at night, but you get used to it. I think BAIC chose Cummins for its reliability and durability. In my daily commutes and weekend road trips, I haven't encountered any issues, and the maintenance intervals are long, basically just once a year. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages just over 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which is both cost-effective and eco-friendly, outperforming many gasoline SUVs. If you're concerned about maintenance, tasks like changing the oil or filters are straightforward, and most repair shops can handle them at a reasonable cost. Overall, opting for this engine significantly boosts the BJ40's value for money, especially for long-distance travel or wilderness adventures, giving you full confidence.

The BJ40 diesel engine is manufactured by Cummins, commonly seen in models like the ISF2.8. As a long-time vehicle mechanic, I value its reliability, simple structure for easy maintenance, and low failure rate. Just pay attention to the oil change intervals during maintenance and avoid delays. It has low fuel consumption and good emissions, making it suitable for China VI standards.
