Magic Core Electric Drive: Another Choice in New Energy Off-Roading In the live launch event, the BJ60 Thunder traveled three routes. The main route started in Dunhuang, passed through Lanzhou and Taiyuan, and ended in Beijing. The other two routes connected Mohe to Beijing and Guangdong to Beijing. The event lasted four days across three routes, showcasing impressive off-road capabilities. The main route from Dunhuang covered 2,926 kilometers. The vehicle started fully fueled and charged. It refueled only twice and charged three times. It reached Beijing with a fuel consumption of 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The BJ60 Thunder represents Beijing Automotive’s high-end image. It features the “Magic Core Electric Drive Super Drive Solution,” designed for all-terrain off-roading. The extended power system consists of six key elements: three core off-road features and three smart electric components. The three core off-road features include the Tai Chi off-road chassis, Aurora battery off-road version, and Extreme Edge motor off-road version. The chassis uses an industry-first “flexible integrated” connection method. This significantly improves the vehicle’s ability to navigate complex terrains and protects the battery from bumps. The Aurora battery off-road version combines energy absorption and impact resistance, ensuring the battery cells remain unharmed. The Extreme Edge motor off-road version employs oil-water composite cooling, enhancing cooling efficiency by over 10% and increasing sustained high-speed output by 20%. The peak torque reaches 655 Nm.
The “3” Great Off-Road Smart Electric vehicle features full-time intelligent charging. It maintains a continuous high speed of 145 km/h without losing power. The vehicle’s fuel consumption reaches 8.75 L/100 km. It employs “all-domain” intelligent decision-making. It covers 11 types of ATS terrain, including 6 off-road traversals, 4 urban commutes, and 1 extreme track. It offers 11 energy modes, with 5 mode switches and 6 exclusive off-road modes. The AI energy-saving model optimizes routes based on navigation and real-time traffic. For example, it uses pure electric power in congested areas, stores energy in uphill sections, and releases energy in downhill sections to ensure the best solution. The vehicle features all-weather intelligent thermal control. It introduces the industry’s first electric drive system with combined oil-water cooling technology and active oil pump lubrication. This enhances cooling capacity by 10%. Winter range increases by 10%. Beijing Automotive emphasizes “Off-Road X New Energy.” It builds off-road capabilities and uses new energy as a multiplier for these advantages. The BJ60 Thunder distinguishes itself from other new energy off-road vehicles. This can be summarized as “Three Less in Thunder, One More in Tai Chi.”
The “Thunder Three” offers solutions to common concerns. The first concern is anxiety over range. The BJ60 Thunder electric vehicle provides a range of 152 km. With a full tank and full charge, it can travel over 1200 km. Just three tanks of fuel can cross China, eliminating range anxiety. The second concern is space limitations. The vehicle measures 5040 mm in length, 1955 mm in width, and 1925 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820 mm. Folding down the rear seats creates a flat space of 1836 L, freeing you from space constraints. The third concern is cost. The vehicle’s fuel consumption is just 1.3 L/100 km, making it economical and efficient. It also features a 260-degree super battery, acting as a power bank for long-distance travel. The Taiji chassis represents Beijing Automotive’s innovative design. It combines flexibility and strength for superior safety. It effectively absorbs shocks from rough terrain, ensuring a safer adventure.
New Experience in Inductive Off-Roading
The BJ60 Thunder features a groundbreaking six-screen off-road interaction system. It offers five energy modes with optimal power combinations. The energy management system enhances fuel efficiency by 10%. It includes a Yanfeng audio system and active noise cancellation. Users can access a vast array of applications through the Huawei ecosystem and enjoy frequent FOTA upgrades. The interior rivals first-class luxury. The color options include Camel Yellow and Spring River Blue, catering to diverse aesthetic preferences. The BJ60 Thunder also comes standard with a 0.82㎡ panoramic sunroof, perfect for camping under the stars. The BJ60 Thunder focuses on facts, not stories. It maximizes the advantages of off-road and new energy. The vehicle’s electric drive offers economy, off-road capability, safety, and spaciousness. It provides the best solution for off-road enthusiasts and a versatile choice for those upgrading to a mid-to-large SUV. The official launch of the BJ60 Thunder will inject new vitality into the market and initiate a new era of dual-fuel development in the off-road sector.
