Joint venture vs independent, Beijing BJ40 vs Nissan Tuda

Bitche Original Cross-country has always been a motor sport with a high threshold, in addition to technical difficulty In addition, the price of hardcore off-road vehicles is also a problem that troubles enthusiasts.

There are not many models to choose from in the relatively affordable price range of less than 200,000 yuan. Faced with the two camps of independent and joint ventures, many consumers will choose the Beijing BJ40 and Nissan Tuda. Choose between two popular cars. There is a big difference in their personalities. One is bold and tough, while the other is more moderate and restrained. So which one is more suitable for you as a hard-core off-road vehicle?

Appearance: It is not difficult to choose between domineering and mediocre.

Appearance design can be said to be the easiest part to choose between the two cars, because their styles are indeed very different.

The appearance of the BJ40 perfectly continues the pedigree of the Beijing off-road family, integrating hardcore and retro elements very well. The overall shape of this car is very square, and the protruding wheel eyebrows and powerful front and rear bumpers undoubtedly reveal its hardcore off-road vehicle temperament. From a practical point of view, this design also makes the approach and departure angles of each version of the BJ40 larger than that of the Tuda, and theoretically has better passability.

In terms of details, the classic five-hole grille on the front face of BJ40 combined with the Chinese "Beijing" logo can bring extremely high recognition. This is also a unique experience that Beijing off-road brands can bring. In terms of emotions, it can definitely satisfy the feelings of many off-road enthusiasts.

It is worth noting that the appearance of BJ40 is also modern. The most obvious point is undoubtedly the headlights and taillights that use LED light sources. Their internal structures are very delicate and the lighting effect is also outstanding. At the same time, the red and gray body paints of the new car are still matte paint, which has a higher texture and will not be as delicate as ordinary paint when going off-road.

Coming to the Nissan Tuda, compared with the BJ40, this car appears to be much more mediocre. The appearance of the Tuda is a typical Japanese off-road vehicle shape. The body outline is relatively simple, and the waistline and wheel arch lines also have some dynamic elements. Its good-looking appearance is one of its major features.

At the same time, Tuda also has many design elements from the Nissan family, such as the V-shaped grille. Generally speaking, everything looks familiar, and the overall design is relatively harmonious.

Of course, it must be noted that the design language currently used by Tuda is relatively outdated, and it is different from Nissan’s latest V-motion 3.0 The gap is large, youth and dynamic are not its strong points.

To briefly summarize the appearance, if the BJ40 is a model that can arouse people’s desire to buy based on its appearance, then the appearance of the Tuda isIt really doesn’t have many advantages and can easily be ignored in traffic. In the actual car purchase decision, the hard-core and domineering style of the BJ40 may be more in line with the preferences of off-road enthusiasts, while the mediocre design of the Tuda will be more difficult to impress the current consumer groups who pursue individuality.

Interior: For quality, it must be independent

Entering the car, the feeling and appearance of these two cars are somewhat subverted.

BJ40 can be said to be a representative of softness on the inside and rigidity on the outside. Different from the rough appearance, the interior of this car is comparable to that of some cities. SUV. First of all, in terms of look and feel, the full LCD instrument panel and floating central control screen have greatly improved the technological atmosphere of the entire cockpit. At the usage level, this central control screen also integrates the adjustment of air conditioning and other functions and navigation/entertainment functions, simplifying The layout of the center console makes the operating experience more unified. In the center of the center console is the drive mode switching knob, which is very intuitive for daily operation.

The colorful center control panel of BJ40 is impressive. Although it is also made of hard material, it does not feel cheap to the touch or look and feel. It really enlivens the atmosphere in the car. In addition, this car is wrapped in leather on the door panels, armrest boxes, etc., which not only looks more textured, but also makes it more comfortable to touch during daily use.

Compared with the contrast that BJ4 brings to people, Tuda is indeed more consistent on the outside. Its interior continues the mediocre design style of the exterior, which is a typical design language of the previous generation Nissan.

It would be a bit exaggerated to say how outdated this interior is, but at least it is more attractive and easy to operate. However, its look and feel really has nothing to do with excellence, and it is difficult to be a plus point when buying a car. As a 200,000 joint venture SUV, the Tuda should have better performance.

Space: Tuda has the greater advantage

For space, let’s first look at the body dimensions of the two cars. The length, width and height of the BJ40 five-door version are 4630/1925/1871mm respectively. The distance is 2745mm; the length, width and height of the Tuda body are 4882/1850/1835mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2850mm.

From the perspective of body size, the two cars can be said to be a level apart. The size of the Tuda is better than that of the Tuda in all aspects. BJ40. This data also feeds back into the riding space, especially in the rear row. The legroom of the Tuda is better than that of the BJ40.

Of course, as a purer hardcore off-road vehicle, the BJ40 has some body features that Tuda cannot achieve. The most obvious point is that the BJ40's roof can be freely detached. This feature is rarely used in daily life, but if you often go off-roading or camping, it can also bring more playability. BJ40 also has a high-strength roll cage, which can protect the safety of the driver and passengers in an emergency.protective effect. In terms of details, the rear tailgate glass of BJ40 can be opened independently, which is enough to cope with more usage scenarios.

From this, we can actually see the difference in personality between the two cars. The Tuda is more inclined to be balanced in daily life, while the BJ40 is more playful and suitable for off-road use. Go deeper.

Configuration & Performance

In order to intuitively show the best configuration performance of the two cars, we selected the highest configuration models under the regular versions of the two cars for comparison, which are the BJ40 Ring The official guide prices of the Tower Champion Edition and the Tuda automatic four-wheel drive flagship version are 209,900 yuan and 248,300 yuan respectively. The Tuda has a discount of about 20,000 yuan at the terminal, and the dealer's reference price is 220,000-230,000 yuan.

Generally speaking, the configurations of the two cars have their own advantages. The BJ40 does not have as many airbags as the Tuda due to the body structure, but it has better control, comfort and multimedia configuration. It has advantages in many aspects.

In addition to switching between part-time four-wheel drive, BJ40 also has a variety of driving modes, including sports and snow. This is a relatively considerate presence for an off-road vehicle, allowing the driver to face more road conditions more easily and conveniently.

In terms of comfort, steering wheel heating and front seat heating are the strengths of BJ40, which will be more obvious if you are in the north. Although it is already the beginning of spring, the temperature is still relatively low, especially when traveling by car, the temperature will be even colder. Needless to say, the experience brought by these two configurations.

As mentioned above, BJ40 is tough on the outside and soft on the inside, and a very important manifestation of this is in the smart car. The car-machine system of this car supports mobile phone interconnection and can also be upgraded via OTA, which is very convenient for navigation and some entertainment functions.

In terms of power, the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 165kW and a peak torque of 380N·m, matched with an 8AT gearbox. Tuda is equipped with a 2.5L self-priming engine with a maximum power of 142kW and a peak torque of 245N·m, and is matched with a 7AT gearbox.

The power data of BJ40 has obvious advantages over Tuda, especially the torque is higher than Tuda, which will be more obvious in off-road.

In addition to the ring-tower version, BJ40 also has city hunter, blade hero and short-axis versions. The power includes 2.0T, 2.3T gasoline engines and 2.0T diesel engines, which are enough to meet different needs. The needs of the crowd. In terms of off-road equipment, both cars have non-load-bearing bodies and adopt part-time four-wheel drive systems. Both have very hard-core off-road capabilities and can meet the professional needs of players. In addition, the BJ40 also has a front axle differential lock.

Finally

Off-roading may not only be a sport, but also a state of freedom. What kind of hard-core off-road vehicle can satisfy people's curiosity to explore distant places? I think BJ40 is it. givenGreat answer.

The appearance is extremely retro, and the interior is comfortable and considerate. While maintaining excellent off-road performance, the configuration is also as rich as possible. The most important thing is that the price is only over 200,000, which really gives more people the opportunity to get into hard-core off-roading.

Nissan Tuda is also a very mature model, elegant, attractive, practical and reliable, but it is not particularly attractive when compared with its own brands.
