2 Answers
The engine model of the BJ40 Blade Hero diesel version is the Oukang Power 2.0D. The dimensions of the BJ40 Blade Hero version are 4630/1925/1871mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2745mm. Although positioned as a compact SUV, it exudes a presence similar to a mid-size vehicle. It is equipped with large-pattern 265/60R17 tires and has a minimum ground clearance of 220mm. Introduction to the BJ40: On December 28, 2013, at the "Water Cube" National Aquatics Center in China, Beijing Auto officially launched its first fashionable and rugged off-road vehicle, the Beijing 40 (BJ40). Exterior of the BJ40: The Beijing Auto BJ40 features a rugged SUV style with many right-angle designs, giving it a strong and masculine appearance. The vehicle has a minimum ground clearance of 220mm, an approach angle of 37°, and a departure angle of 33°, providing excellent off-road capability. Interior of the BJ40: As an off-road vehicle, it does not have luxurious decorations. The simple and rugged design style is reminiscent of the "Wrangler." The switches for the windows and central locking are designed as toggle levers, adding a very retro feel.
I've been running an auto repair shop for many years and have worked on the BJ40 Blade Hero diesel version quite a few times. Its engine model is the Foton Cummins ISF2.8, which is a reliable diesel engine with strong torque output, making it particularly suitable for off-roading and climbing. Daily maintenance requires close attention to the air filter and fuel system, as they can easily get clogged, affecting startup and performance. I recommend owners check the fuel system every 5,000 km. The diesel version starts slower in cold regions, so preheating can avoid awkward situations. Overall, the ISF2.8 may not be flashy, but it's tough and durable. Off-road enthusiasts often praise it for being economical, with low maintenance costs, and it drives steadily.
