Beijing BJ80, four years after the start of production, went through the first modernization. The frame SUV, which is very similar in size and appearance to the Mercedes-Benz G-class, is produced by one of the largest Chinese concerns BAIC.

• According to Autohome, the main technical change was the appearance of a three-liter supercharged V6 with a capacity of 280 hp. (420 Nm). It is combined with an eight-speed "automatic" and all-wheel drive with a lowering range of transmission and two mechanical differential locks (center and rear).
• With new springs and shock absorbers, the Beijing BJ80 is 20 millimeters lower. According to the creators, the SUV has become more comfortable on the asphalt.
• Externally, the BJ80 did not receive any innovations, but a 10.25-inch digital dashboard and a new central tunnel with a compact automatic selector appeared in the cabin.
• Sales of the 280-strong Beijing BJ80 will begin in China during the summer, but its cost is still classified. Basic SUV with a 2.3-liter "turbo four" with a capacity of 250 hp. (350 Nm) from Saab 9-5 and a six-speed "automatic" costs 298,000 yuan (2.9 million rubles).
