I've been driving the Beijing BJ40 for a while now. With a body weight of around 2,100 kg, it feels noticeably heavy. Starting off in daily city driving is quite strenuous, and the fuel consumption is relatively high, averaging about 12 liters. On the highway, however, this weight feels just right—it runs stably without any floating sensation, and it feels much more secure on windy days. When parking or making turns on narrow roads, extra caution is needed due to its wide body and large inertia, resulting in a larger turning radius compared to other urban SUVs. Off-road, the weight turns into an advantage, providing better traction on muddy terrain and steep slopes, with a solid body that offers strong protection. Although fuel consumption is a pain point, the sense of security and reliable handling make it worth it. I’d recommend it to friends who enjoy a rugged feel. The heavy body is mainly due to the extensive use of steel, ensuring a sturdy structure. A lightweight version might be more suitable for city commuting if available.
