The
Chinese Beijing Automobile Works, formerly
Beijing Jeep,
BJ212 (
Chinese: 北京212) and BAW
BJ2020 is a
Land Rover and
Jeep inspired four-wheel drive, originally a 2.4 L (2445 cc) four-cylinder gas-engine powered (four-cylinder diesel engines were added in the 2000s
[2]) light-duty offroad utility vehicle in the half tonne class. The original design, depending in large part on Russian off-roaders from
UAZ and possibly developed in conjunction with the
UAZ-469, debuted in 1965 as the Beijing BJ212. It has been known as the BJ2020 series since the Chinese car classification system was changed in 1989.
[3] For the BJ210 model, the manufacturing continued and was transferred to Tianjin's
First Auto Works which took over manufacturing under the name of TJ210 C. Tianjin's
First Auto Works also produce variants with two metal half-doors and an extended wheelbase version with four metal doors.
