An ultra rare Beijing Jeep BJ2022JL prototype, seen in Shanghai in 2014 by Antoine Chalendard. The BJ2022JL was one of the many proposals for a successor to the BAW BJ212 army utility vehicle.

In the end, the army decided to go for a bigger vehicle and went for another Beijing-Jeep proposal: the BJ2022 Brave Warrior, powered by the same engine. Production

The production contract for the Brave Warrior went to BAW, and it was sold under the Beijing-brand. Over the years, BAW launched dozens of military and civilian variants, and the Brave Warrior is still in production today.

A very Early Beijing-Jeep Beijing BJ2020 N In Blue

Beijing-Jeep Beijing BJ2020 N

The Beijing-Jeep joint venture, or fully the Beijing Jeep Corporation (BJC), is best known making the Jeep Cherokee XJ and Jeep Grand Cherokee in China. But this busy joint venture also manufactured the Beijing BJ2020-series, based on the long-running Beijing BJ212-series.

The BJC badge on the grille.

The idea was to use American technology to gradually improve the BJ212/2020. The blue car we have here, which I saw in 2006 in Yunnan Province, is a Beijing-Jeep Beijing 2020 N.

The N model was the second improved variant of the BJ212 made by BJC. It was launched in 1990. Compared to the BJ212, it had better brake ad cooling systems, new mirrors, new lights, and new wheels.

It was powered by the 2.4 liter Beijing 492 QA engine, good for 70 hp and 160 Nm. Transmission was a four-speed manual, four-wheel drive. With that, the 1530 kilo heavy vehicle could reach a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
