Beijing Automobile Group Cross-country Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Beijing off-road") is the off-road vehicle brand of BAIC Group. Currently, the models on sale include BJ30 (10.58-125800 yuan), BJ40 (15.98-269900 yuan), BJ80 (29.49-398000 yuan) and BJ90 (99.8-1.288 million yuan). Among them, BJ30 and BJ40 are both entry-level cars of Beijing off-road brand, and the BJ80 style is more rigid. Cross-country ability is also second to none, and the price of BJ90 is as high as one million, which is one of the few domestic full-size SUV at present, but because of the old Mercedes-Benz GL-class "shell change", its product power can not support the high price, and BJ90 sales are low in the market at present. According to the Federation of passengers, BJ40 sales from January to July in 2022 were 10521.

As a new model to be launched soon, BJ60 will enrich the product line of Beijing off-road brand and fill the market gap between BJ40 and BJ80. In terms of competitive products, the BJ60 will directly compete with the tank 500. the latter is priced at RMB 33.5-395000 and is equipped with a light hybrid system consisting of a 3.0T twin-turbocharged engine and a 48V motor, which matches the 9AT gearbox. In addition, the Harvard H9 is also a potential competitor, which costs 21.48-279800 yuan and is also positioned as a medium and large SUV with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an 8-block self-contained gearbox.

In the past, the hardline cross-country seemed out of reach, and "off-road" has always been a minority demand. Since the launch of the Tank 300, the threshold for off-road vehicles has been lowered, and more and more manufacturers have joined the camp of off-road vehicles, including Chery Jetta and BYD in the future.
