The Chinese Beijing Automobile Works, formerly Beijing Jeep, BJ212 (Chinese: 北京212) and BAW BJ2020 is a four-wheel drive, originally a 2.4 L (2445 cc) four-cylinder gas-engine powered (four-cylinder diesel engines were added in the 2000s[2]) light-duty offroad utility vehicle in the half tonne class.

The original design, depending in large part on Russian off-roaders from UAZ and possibly developed in conjunction with the UAZ-469, debuted in 1965 as the Beijing BJ212.

[3] The BJ212 succeeded the BJ210 model 4x4, whose manufacturing continued and was transferred to Tianjin's First Auto Works which took over manufacturing under the name of TJ210 C. Tianjin's First Auto Works also produce variants with two metal half-doors and an extended wheelbase version with four metal doors.

Various versions of the Jeep are today sold under the names of Zhanqi, Jinxuanfeng, City Cruiser, Kuangchao, and Ludi.

The model was available with two different buildings:[14] In 2000 the Zhanqi variant was presented on the Beijing Auto Show.

The names Zhangqi, Zhanqi, Tieshuang and Jiao Dushi have been handed down for the 2008 model year.

[21][22] The BJ2022 has a lengthened, widened, and strengthened chassis, a new squared off body, and more powerful engines and better transmissions.

Other manufacturers acquired the platform and built their own station wagon, sedan, and pickup trucks bodies on them.

[27] Early Great Wall models includes a BJ212-based crew cab pickup called CC1020S and a BJ212-based station wagon the CC6490[28] Sales of the BAW produced Jeep Cherokee XJ started to go up slowly in the early 1990s and it therefore aroused interest of China's copycat automakers with BAW then supplying BJ212 platforms to those copycat car makers, and one of whom was Shuanghuan.
