bj2020 is a Beijing-brand off-road vehicle produced by BAIC, improved from the Beijing 212, and bj2020 is the model number. Taking the 2018 Beijing BJ20 1.5T Manual Luxury model as an example: it is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with a length, width, and height of 4451mm, 1845mm, and 1700mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2670mm, equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, and a top speed of 180 kilometers per hour. The 2018 Beijing BJ20 1.5T Manual Luxury model's engine has a maximum torque of 210 Nm, with the maximum torque speed ranging from 2000 to 4500 rpm, and uses 225/55R18 tire specifications.
The BJ2020 is indeed the classic designation of the Beijing Jeep. When I was a kid, these vehicles were everywhere on the streets. 'BJ' stands for Beijing Automobile Works, and '2020' is the model code, which later became a beloved nickname among car enthusiasts. This vehicle evolved from the 212 Jeep of the 1960s and was built tough, featuring front and rear leaf spring suspensions and a manual four-wheel-drive transfer case. It was the go-to vehicle for military field exercises back in the day. The most iconic aspect is its round-headlight, square-body design, making it the Chinese equivalent of a Wrangler. Even now, off-road veterans love to hunt for second-hand BJ2020s to modify. Despite its truck-like fuel consumption, the raw mechanical feel it offers is something modern cars simply can't replicate.
