Beijing Auto V80 is ready for the Chinese army

The Beijing Auto B80 is expected to debut on the Beijing Auto Show in April. The military version (B80VJ)will be powered by a 2.7 liter petrol engine with power of 150hp, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. Early we heard the B80VJ would get a 3.2 liter six-cylinder diesel engine. The civilian version (B80V) will be powered by a 2.4 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 143hp and 217nm.

Design is an interesting mix between Jeep and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The B80 will be deployed in various roles in the army: as command vehicle, scout vehicle, utility vehicle, and light assault vehicle. The B80 is strong enough to carry a machine gun or a light rocket launcher.
