Beijing BJ90 Auto – official Mercedes GL clone

New Chinese SUV in 2017-2018 with BJ90 company name Beijing Auto – photo, price and specifications, specifications official clone of the German SUV Mercedes-Benz GL-class (X166). The magnificent BJ90 SUV in Beijing in early March 2017 enters the Chinese market at a price of 800,000 yuan (about 7 million conventional units, or $ 116,500).

The large 5-meter BJ90 SUV is equipped with a powerful V6 gasoline and V8 engines in the company with 7 automatic transmission and all-wheel drive from Mercedes is intended exclusively for the Chinese market and will not be officially sold recently.

I would like to note that according to unofficial information, the new Chinese premium SUV BJ90, despite the fact that it will be sold through the Beijing auto dealer network, is intended primarily for officials of the highest rank, due to budget savings.

Imported to China, the 333 horsepower Mercedes-Benz GLS 400 4MATIC is used in China from 1,082,000 yuan ($157,500), and a more powerful 421-horsepower variant of the Mercedes-Benz GLS 500 with 4Matic all-wheel drive system will cost a minimum of 1,598,000 yuan ($232,700). By the way, in China you can still buy a Mercedes-Benz GL-class at a price of 1,030,000-1,552,000 yuan (150-226 thousand dollars). So, there is a significant difference in cost between the German original and the Chinese copy.

BJ90 production is slated for a Beijing factory Auto operates in Beijing side by side with the controversial clone of the German BJ80 Beijing G model. The company is engaged in manufacturing, including military trucks, SUVs and pickup trucks and ambulance vans.

As mentioned above, Chinese New Beijing BJ90 Auto is an official clone of the discontinued Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (Beijing Auto and Daimler-Benz have worked closely together for many years, and Daimler owns a 12% stake in the Engine Engine). So the Germans are helping their Chinese partners not only in the production of new cars, but also in sharing their modern technologies.

The new BJ90 SUV is a clone, despite apparently being quite different from the German GL brother. Especially different cars in front and rear body decoration.
The Chinese SUV through the efforts of designers (German, Chinese or otherwise, the manufacturer is silent) has a rack in the style of the American Grand Cherokee jeep with a stylish radiator grill, decorated with chrome parts, strict full LED headlights and a powerful bumper.

The stern of the car received the original vertically positioned LED marker lights with excellent three-dimensional graphics, a trunk lid and a bumper.
In profile, the body of the Chinese SUV shows a slightly different design of the rear side of the body than that of the German brother after the second-row doors.

• The external dimensions of the Beijing BJ90 2017-2018 car body are slightly larger than the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (X166) shape 5171 mm long, 1995 mm wide, 1860 mm high with a wheelbase of 3100 mm.
• For an SUV, choose from several options of 19, 20 and 21-inch wheels (rims, of course, a German model, but with a motor engine logo) with 275/55 R19 comfort tires, 275/50 R20 and 295/40 ZR21.

But the interior of the official Chinese clone differs from the German original in only a few parts, but that’s what they are.

• Firstly, a huge color touch screen multimedia system is located on the center console.
• Secondly, instead of a triple rear seat, two separate captain’s chairs are installed, separated by an armrest on a high pedestal.

Otherwise, the Chinese interior is one to one mercy, and you can only understand that you are in a fake salon by accidentally looking at the steering wheel, on which the Chinese brand sildec flaunts.

With separate electrically adjustable, heated, ventilated and massage seats, four-zone climate control, a premium audio system of high quality materials and finishes and, of course, a huge list of electronic assistants and security systems.
