BJ30 Traveler: 70,000 RMB Class Boxy SUV, Real-World Fuel Consumption Under 5L in 5-Country Test

On June 5th, Beijing Off-road hosted a five-country fuel consumption real-world testing live stream. For more than three hours, the entire internet witnessed together as this 70,000 RMB class boxy SUV achieved fuel consumption of under 5L per 100km across different countries, regions, and road conditions.

You might be curious, why claim it saves fuel? Let's look at the background first. Before this domestic live stream, Beijing Off-road teamed up with automotive bloggers from South Africa, Poland, Indonesia, UAE, and Mexico to conduct cross-country long-distance road tests. Different climates, different road conditions, from urban to unpaved, it really ran a lap, verifying the reliability of the vehicle architecture, hybrid system, and chassis. With overseas data as a foundation, only then was this domestic live stream brave enough to test it for real.

The live stream had several segments: Departure from BAIC BluePark, sealed fuel tank refueling, rest at Terminal 4, finally reveal the truth. Road conditions covered urban congestion, highway cruising, country road gravel, unpaved mountain roads, and light off-roading, basically all scenarios encountered during daily commuting, weekend camping, and holiday self-driving.

First, city traffic. BJ30 Traveler is the domestic first boxy HEV hybrid model, using a three-motor six-mode plus electric four-wheel drive architecture. What does that mean? Simply put, the motor drives first, the engine only intervenes when needed. When you are stuck in traffic stopping and starting, it uses electricity as much as possible to avoid idling fuel consumption. Official rated two-wheel drive combined fuel consumption 5.85L/100km, four-wheel drive 6.45L, but in the actual live stream, multi-road condition real-world fuel consumption was under 5L. A boxy SUV, daily commuting saves more fuel than many sedans.

Next, space. This car has a wheelbase of 2820mm, rear legroom is very spacious, five passengers full load is not crowded. How big is the trunk? Polish blogger tested in live stream, after stuffing many large items, a person can still lie down sideways inside. Rear seats folded down, directly becomes a 1.92-meter large bed. Weekend bring family camping, tents, grills, folding tables and chairs easily loaded, tired can sleep in car.

Off-road capability is also not lacking. 215mm ground clearance, equipped with ATS all-terrain system and millisecond-response electric four-wheel drive. Gravel roads, country roads, light climbing, one-key switch to corresponding mode, four-wheel drive automatically allocates power, easily pass. This car's positioning is "City and Wilderness balanced" - usually fuel-efficient in city, weekend go suburbs to have fun off-roading, completely sufficient.

Some friends might ask: Compared to fuel-powered boxy SUVs? BJ30 Traveler has stronger power, lower fuel consumption. Compared to plug-in hybrids? It doesn't need charging, no low-battery anxiety, battery layout is safer, car body is also lighter. 70,000 RMB class price, at this price range you will hardly find a second such HEV boxy SUV.

For this reason, BJ30 Traveler sales have always been strong: Light hybrid boxy SUV sales leader for two consecutive years, domestic light hybrid SUV sales leader for 23 consecutive months, 3-year resale value retention rate of 72%, #1 in resale value retention for 100,000-150,000 RMB domestic compact SUVs.

The live stream also revealed a message: June 12th, BJ30 Traveler Highlight Edition will officially launch. New model configuration increased, power optimized, 12V battery upgraded, interior and smart comfort experience also improved, will also launch exclusive special editions and custom colors. Current model already achieves all-road fuel consumption breaking 5L, Highlight Edition upgrade again, even more worth looking forward to.

To summarize: BJ30 Traveler, 70,000 RMB class, super fuel-efficient, super large space, super off-road capability. Friends who want to buy a big boxy SUV, might as well go to the store to try, drive a lap, then you will know why so many people choose it.
