In this live market launch event, the BJ60 Thunder 3 line traversed the mountains and rivers, starting from Dunhuang, passing through Lanzhou and Taiyuan, and finally arriving in Beijing; the other two routes were Mohe-Beijing and Guangdong-Beijing. The event lasted for 4 days and 3 lines, covering thousands of miles with all-terrain capabilities, fully showcasing the Thunder's style.

The main route from Dunhuang covered a distance of 2926 kilometers. Departing with a full tank and battery, the vehicle only needed to refuel twice and charge three times throughout the journey, ultimately reaching Beijing with a fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 kilometers.

As a representative product for Beijing Automobile to establish a high-end image, the BJ60 Thunder is equipped with the "Magic Electric Drive Super Drive Solution," specifically designed for all-terrain off-roading. In terms of range-extending power, while many offer old wine in new bottles, Magic Electric Drive brings new wine in new bottles, composed of "3X3" six major elements, which are "3" major off-road cores and "3" major off-road smart electronics, taking off-roading as the starting point, leveraging the strengths of electric drive, and achieving a two-way integration of off-road and new energy technology performance.

The "3" major off-road cores include the Tai Chi off-road chassis, Aurora battery off-road version, and Jifeng electric motor off-road version. The chassis features an industry-exclusive "flexible integration" connection method, significantly enhancing the passability in complex off-road conditions and preventing damage to the battery from bumpy roads. The "Aurora" battery off-road version integrates energy absorption and crash protection, combined with the vehicle frame's protection, fundamentally avoiding the compression of the battery cells. The "Jifeng" electric motor off-road version uses oil-water compound cooling, increasing the cooling effect by more than 10%, and improving the continuous high-speed output power by 20%; the peak torque can reach 655 N·m, truly "strong as an ox."

The "3" major off-road smart electronics include full-time intelligent power replenishment, which can maintain a high speed of 145 km/h without power loss, and the vehicle's power consumption is 8.75L/100km. "Full domain" intelligent decision-making has 11 ATS full-terrain coverage, including 6 off-road crossings, 4 urban commutes, and 1 extreme track; 11 energy modes include 5 energy mode switches and 6 off-road specific modes; the AI intelligent energy-saving model can achieve optimal route allocation based on navigation routes and real-time road conditions, such as using pure electricity in congested conditions, storing electricity in advance for uphill sections, and discharging in advance for downhill sections, always maintaining the best solution!

All-climate intelligent thermal control, for the first time in the industry, is equipped with an electric drive system's oil-water compound cooling technology and active oil pump lubrication technology, increasing the cooling capacity by 10%; increasing winter range by 10%, and ensuring no downtime in summer deserts! In a nutshell, Magic Electric Drive has maximized the advantages of off-road X new energy, truly achieving "more powerful, more economical, and safer"!

"Thunder's Three Less, Tai Chi's One More," Interpreting the Product's Four Differentiated Advantages

With over 60 years of deep cultivation in the off-road field, "off-road family" has become the golden signboard of Beijing Automobile. While competitors are still focused on "new energy + off-road," Beijing Automobile is dedicated to "off-road X new energy," taking off-roading as the foundation and using new energy as a technological means to multiply the advantages of off-roading. Analyzing the differentiated advantages of BJ60 Thunder compared to other new energy off-road vehicles, it can be summarized as "Thunder's Three Less, Tai Chi's One More."

The first "less" in "Thunder's Three Less" is less anxiety, longer range. The BJ60 Thunder has a pure electric range of 152 km, and a full fuel and battery range of over 1200 km, allowing it to cross China with just three tanks of fuel, eliminating range anxiety. The second "less" is fewer restrictions, more space. The vehicle's dimensions are 5040mm in length, 1955mm in width, and 1925mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820mm, and after folding down the rear seats, it offers a super large flat layer of 1836L, allowing young people to win while lying flat, no longer bound by space limitations. The third "less" is lower cost, lower expenses. The vehicle's comprehensive fuel consumption is 1.3L/100km, driving more economically and going further, with a 260-degree super battery capacity, providing power support for long-distance self-driving at any time.The "Tai Chi One and Many" refers to the "Tai Chi" flexible off-road chassis independently developed by Beijing Automotive, which is both rigid and flexible, offering super safety. When facing complex and variable road conditions, the chassis can cleverly disperse the impact force on the battery, providing an extra layer of safety and reliability for your adventurous journey.

The inductive design features a sturdy posture, offering a new experience in wild off-roading. Adhering to the "emotional core" concept, the exterior design of the BJ60 Thunder integrates the powerful sense of vast mountains and rivers with the technological fashion sense of the electric drive era, with a sturdy posture and smooth lines, full of visual tension. In terms of body paint colors, the BJ60 Thunder offers seven body colors: Mohe Polar Night Black, Yulong Snow Mountain White, Chaka Salt Lake Blue, Shunan Bamboo Sea Green, Misty Blue, Cangshi Star Grey, and Future Grey. All these colors are inspired by the beautiful landscapes of the motherland, allowing consumers with different preferences to find their own exclusive style.

Inside, the BJ60 Thunder is equipped with the industry's first off-road six-screen linkage that reshapes the interaction between off-roaders and their vehicles, five energy modes with the optimal power combination, an energy management master that can increase energy savings by 10%, Yanfali Shi audio, ANC active noise cancellation, and a vast ecosystem application store from Huawei, along with the ever-fresh FOTA upgrades, offering luxurious comfort comparable to first-class cabins. The interior colors are available in Camel Velvet Yellow and Spring River Blue, meeting users' diverse aesthetic and pursuit needs. At the same time, the BJ60 Thunder also comes standard with a 0.82 square meter panoramic sunroof, allowing us to go from watching the sunset at the foot of the mountain to camping on the mountaintop to watch the stars.

In terms of driving performance, the BJ60 Thunder has a combined power of 403kW from its front and rear dual motors, with a zero to hundred acceleration of just 5.8 seconds. The minimum turning radius is 5.5 meters, and the tactical turning assistance requires only 4.75 meters, making the handling more agile. In terms of off-road data, the approach angle is 30°, the departure angle is 24°, the breakover angle is 23°, the minimum ground clearance is 215mm, and the water depth is 800mm, placing it in the first tier of off-road vehicles.

The BJ60 Thunder speaks with facts, not concepts or stories, but with professionalism, maximizing the advantages of off-roading and new energy. With the economic, off-road, safety, and spaciousness advantages brought by the magic electric drive, the new vehicle not only provides the best solution for off-road enthusiasts in the new energy field but also offers a "both and" all-round choice for users who need to upgrade to a mid-to-large SUV. With the official launch of the BJ60 Thunder, it will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the market and officially open a new pattern of "oil-electric dual-engine" development for the off-road family.
