AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/04 Report--

If the 120000 Citroen C6 became one of the hottest models in March, BJ90's unprecedented price cut in April was also enough to set off the market.

Recently, the news that Beijing BJ90 dropped 710000 was directly pushed into the car circle hot search. From a comprehensive point of view, the market guidance price of 998000 yuan of Beijing BJ90 3.0T honorary version, the lowest price of a naked car is only 288000 yuan, equivalent to a 2. 8% discount for a new car, plus insurance and purchase tax, it will be able to land a domestic "GLS" at about 300000 yuan. It should be noted that to be able to buy at such a low price, basically are 2-3 years of inventory cars, and non-4S store channel sales, that is, do not provide vehicle warranty. Of course, different places may have different policies and concessions.

At the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz released a medium-term change to the GLS-class model. at that time, Beijing Automobile chose to introduce technology with Mercedes-Benz in order to improve the R & D capability of luxury SUV and fill the gap in the market of some government and enterprise units. what it introduced was the GLS class (chassis code X166), which had just completed the medium-term transformation, and introduced a full set of suppliers according to the Mercedes-Benz supply system. However, the BJ90 was originally scheduled to hit the market in 2016, but the car did not go on sale until December 2019, and it was not sold to ordinary consumers, but as a state travel queue, state guest protection and a special car for the G20 summit.

In terms of appearance, Beijing BJ90 continues the family design elements of the BJ series SUV. The huge chrome-plated five-hole front grille is very recognizable and matches the square headlights on both sides. At the same time, the interior of the headlamp is decorated with more chrome-plated strips, while the turn light draws lessons from the design of Mercedes-Benz. In terms of size, the length, width and height of BJ90 are 5171/1995/1902mm, wheelbase 3100mm, which is a full-size SUV, the space under the five-seat layout can be called invincible.

Interior, BJ90 can better see the design of Mercedes-Benz, but also made some changes, such as Mercedes-Benz family-style door seat adjustment button in front of the central armbox, suspension control screen changed to embedded type, the traditional pointer dashboard with three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is also the original Mercedes-Benz style, only Mercedes-Benz logo replaced with BAIC LOGO.

What can better reflect the shell replacement is in terms of power, the BJ90 is equipped with a 3.0T twin-turbocharged V6 engine of the GLS class codenamed M276, with a maximum power of 333hp and a peak torque of 480Nm, matched by a 9AT gearbox, four-wheel drive system and active air suspension.

In fact, strictly speaking, the BJ90 is not a real domestic car. According to the relevant theory, the BJ90 is actually imported to the domestic market of the GLS class, and then Beijing Automobile is modified based on the family design language, so it is different from the GLS class in terms of vehicle design, but its core is still the GLS class. Therefore, the engine uses the same model of the GLS class, the large parts come from the place where GLS is produced, and the small parts such as screws, rubber parts and clasps come from the Mercedes-Benz factory in Germany. Mercedes-Benz logo can be seen when raising the chassis to find suspension components and shock absorbers. So, if there is something wrong with BJ90, when it comes to parts maintenance and update, you should basically go to Mercedes-Benz 4S store.

While the 710000 drop in BJ90 looks tempting, the cost of using it must also be taken into account. Although the 3.0T model only needs about 300000 yuan to land, but considering that most of its parts are imported by Mercedes-Benz, the maintenance cost will be very high, which is also a problem that users have to consider when purchasing BJ90.

Speaking of which, you might ask why BJ90 can plummet by 710000. In fact, before the launch of Shanhe Classic Edition, BJ90 was a special-purpose model, which was not sold to the outside world, but more to meet the procurement needs of special departments, but with the first shot of price reduction in Hubei and the imminent implementation of superimposed country 6B, BJ90 is facing tremendous sales pressure. It is undeniable that this is a quite perfect and cost-effective full-size SUV in China, but at the same time, BJ90 can reduce the price by 710000, which is enough to see the huge profit space of GLS level.
