First introduced as the BAIC BJ20 concept car at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show[4] and previously the Beijing Auto Concept 500 that debuted on the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2013,[5] the BAIC BJ20 production model was launched in August 2016,[6] with the final production version of the Beijing Auto BJ20 debuting on the 2016 Chengdu Auto Show in China.[7]

The BAIC BJ20 is based on the same platform as the Senova X65, and is powered by a Mitsubishi-sourced ‘4A91T’ 1.5 liter turbo engine producing 147hp and 210nm. The only transmission offered is a six-speed manual gearbox and only front-wheel-drive is available.[7]

Pricing for the BJ20 starts at 96,800 yuan and ends at 139,800 yuan ($14.300 – 20.600).[8] Despite starting out as a fully original Beijing Auto Concept 500, the final concept and production model can often be related to the Toyota FJ Cruiser styling wise.
