Bitche Original To a large extent, cross-country is not just a sport, but also Most of it is the pursuit of infinite possibilities in life. Owning an off-road vehicle allows you to work from nine to five in a regular manner, while also having the ability to run into the wilderness. This unfettered state of mind is what many urban residents yearn for.
However, the pursuit of freedom also has costs. Especially now that the price of 92-octane gasoline has exceeded the 8 yuan mark, how to find a balance between poetry and distance, as well as fuel, rice, fuel and salt is a question that many off-road enthusiasts are thinking about. Today we have brought two popular domestic hardcore off-road vehicles, Beijing BJ40 and Tank 300.
One side has a diesel engine and the other side has a gasoline engine. In addition to the different oil prices, the fuel consumption performance of the two cars is also quite different. If you want to save money, you can still have fun. , you really have to choose the right car.
A quick overview of model highlights
Beijing BJ40, as a time-honored player of domestic off-road vehicles, has developed into several series of models with different objectives. For this comparison, we selected the very distinctive BJ40 Blade Hero Edition (with front and rear axle electronically controlled locks), with an official guide price of 204,900 yuan. This version is equipped with an economical diesel engine and is equipped with electronically controlled differential locks for the front and rear axles. Therefore, the "three locks" necessary for professional off-road vehicles are all available, making it a highly adaptable and reliable partner.
The Tank 300 is a well-deserved "dark horse" of domestic off-road vehicles in recent years. With its precise positioning, it has received countless attention since its birth. The model selected for this comparison is the Tank 300 off-road version 2.0T Conqueror. The official guide price is 213,800 yuan. The combination of the 2.0T gasoline engine and the "three locks" is not easy to underestimate.
Off-road vehicles are equipped with diesel engines, and their performance is stable and reliable
As mentioned at the beginning, today’s theme is not only poetry and distance, but also daily necessities. When calculating the cost of using a car, fuel consumption is definitely an unavoidable factor.
The BJ40 Blade Hero diesel version (hereinafter referred to as BJ40) is equipped with a 2.0D diesel engine with a maximum power of 120kw and a peak torque of 380N.m, matched with a ZF 8AT gearbox. The torque performance of this power set is excellent, which is conducive to off-road performance.
According to official data, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology fuel consumption of BJ40 is 8.5L/100km. The actual car use will definitely differ from this data, but it can basically be controlled at 9.5L. /100km, which is an impressive result for such a non-carrying hardcore SUV.
On the other side, the Tank 300 is equipped with a 2.0T gasoline engine with a maximum power of 167kw and a peak torque of 387N.m, matched with an 8AT gearbox. The official fuel consumption data of Tank 300 is 9.3L/100km, after using it in practice... you will understand. Although the Tank 300 has many highlights, its fuel consumption is still an unspeakable pain. The actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is probably 11, 12L or even higher.
The current No. 0 diesel fuel is 8.02 yuan/L. Based on a fuel consumption of 9.5L per 100 kilometers and a monthly driving distance of 1,500km, the theoretical monthly fuel expenditure of BJ40 is about 1,143 yuan. ; No. 92 gasoline is 8.30 yuan/L. Based on a fuel consumption of 12L per 100 kilometers and a monthly driving distance of 1,500 kilometers, the theoretical monthly fuel expenditure of the Tank 300 is about 1,494 yuan. In comparison, there is still a relatively obvious difference.
From the perspective of fuel consumption, combined with the current not-so-gentle oil price, the BJ40 is indeed better than the Tank 300 in terms of fuel cost performance, and it will be more calm and calm to use. Of course, the advantages of the BJ40 diesel engine don’t stop there.
Since it is an off-road vehicle, we have to go back to off-roading. Thanks to its low fuel consumption and large fuel tank, the BJ40 has a range of more than 1,000km on a tank of fuel. This means that you can reduce fuel replenishment as much as possible during long-distance crossings, which is not only more convenient, but also has greater adaptability under extreme conditions.
On the other hand, it is still determined by the mechanical characteristics of the BJ40 diesel engine. Its maximum torque and speed platform is relatively wider, and the maximum torque can be reached at a lower speed. The power output is more direct when getting out of trouble off-road. The burst of high output in a short period of time is equivalent to improving its off-road performance.
To briefly summarize the power part, the power systems of both cars are mature and reliable, but in comparison, the diesel engine of the BJ40 is more economical and has low-speed power. Plenty, it would be a better choice for off-road vehicles.
They are all well-equipped for off-road use, and they are both experts
As representatives of domestic off-road vehicles, today these two vehicles are directly equipped with full off-road configurations to meet your needs for fun. Down.
Here we take the BJ40 as an example. Its Blade Hero Edition uses electronically controlled part-time four-wheel drive plus front and rear axle differential locks, as well as professional-grade off-road configurations such as an electronically controlled central transfer case. The power output ratio can reach 50:50, and with the torque changes of high-speed four-wheel drive and low-speed four-wheel drive, the passability is absolutely first-class.
In actual off-roading, if a wheel loses adhesion and cannot escape, and electronic limited slip is unable to do anything, then the front/rear axle differential lock can be locked , the two half-shafts are rigidly connected so that the wheels on both sides receive the same power, thereby completing the escape. With the blessing of "three locks", it can indeed meet a variety of extreme scenarios.
In addition to electronically controlled part-time four-wheel drive switching, BJ40 also has a variety of driving modes, including sports and snow. This is a relatively considerate feature for an off-road vehicle, allowing the driver to face various road conditions more easily and conveniently.
The more hard-core body structure is a major feature that distinguishes the BJ40 from the Tank 300. First of all, the BJ40 comes with an original roll cage, which undoubtedly provides an extra layer of protection in off-road use. At the same time, the roof and even the doors of the BJ40 can be disassembled, allowing you to unlock more angles of beauty in different environments, and provide you with richer gameplay.
On the other side, the Tank 300 off-road version 2.0T Conqueror is also time-sharing In the form of four-wheel drive, the central transfer case can be 100% locked, and front and rear axle differential locks are standard. The hardware configuration is also relatively comprehensive. One drawback is that the Tank 300 is originally equipped with 265/65 R17 HT tires. For off-road enthusiasts of this level, HT tires may not meet their needs. Later replacement may require AT tires to be replaced.
A brief summary of the off-road part. From a theoretical level, it is not difficult to find that BJ40 and Tank 300 are both off-road experts. The difference is that BJ40 has a more playful temperament. Concentrated, it also has the potential to become a more pure off-road vehicle.
Design review, hardcore and each has its own style
The appearance design of BJ40 can be summarized easily, that is, it is tough and rugged. Its overall shape is square and simple, with protruding wheel eyebrows, The powerful front and rear bumpers clearly reveal its hardcore off-road vehicle temperament. In addition, the structure of the LED headlights and taillights is also more refined, adding some modern color to the vehicle.
The entire BJ40 series offers five matte car paints, including Titanium Steel Black, Haoyue White, Lava Red, Quantum Blue, and Bailey green. Matte paint not only looks more textured, but is also resistant to acid, alkali and water, making it full of personality when it appears on BJ40.
You can see more rounded lines on the Tank 300. For example, the overall contour lines and headlight shapes are relatively unique, and the retro color is relatively strong. This design style is not only suitable for the wild, but also in the city. Can blend in very well.
In terms of details, the cute front face and chrome decoration make it look more friendly, and it also has some Relatively fresh color matching, good performance in fashion.
In terms of interiors, both cars follow the modern technological route. Taking the BJ40 as an example, first of all, the full LCD instrument panel and floating central control screen have greatly improved the technological atmosphere of the entire cockpit. The 10.25-inch central control screen also integrates air conditioning and other function adjustments and navigation/entertainment functions, simplifying the center console. The layout makes the operating experience more unified.
The colorful center control panel of the BJ40 is more individual. Although it is made of plastic, it is often easier to take care of when off-road. In addition, BJ40 is wrapped in leather on door panels, armrest boxes, etc., making it more comfortable to touch during daily use.
On the other hand, the interior of the Tank 300 adopts a continuous screen design, and the functions and operating experience of its vehicle system are impeccable. In terms of design, the Tank 300 also takes into account both dynamics and modernity. The circular air-conditioning outlet and the armrest in front of the co-pilot bring a clear sporty look. In addition, the combination of various decorative panels has clear layers, excellent texture and workmanship. The materials used are not inferior to urban SUVs of the same level.
A brief summary of the interior part. Although the interior styles of the two cars have their own characteristics, the BJ40 is still more prepared for off-road use, especially when using off-road materials. Durable and easy to care for.
Finally
Poetry, distance and daily necessities may seem contradictory, but they are indeed the two major sources of happiness in contemporary people's lives. If you want to find a balance between the two, BJ40’s answer will be more satisfactory. The fuel-efficient and powerful diesel engine and the well-equipped off-road equipment allow you to drive it to many places with confidence. Just fill up the gas, and its power and passability will surprise you. In addition, the BJ40 Blade Hero diesel version also has official modification plans for different scenarios such as basic, rainforest, desert, and long-distance, which can better embed the pure off-road soul.
