China Car Times

Beijing Auto Works showed off a few concept SUVs at the Beijing Motor Show, leaving China Car Times quite speechless. Their range of motors seems to have been inspired by their Chrysler Jeep joint venture, although, BAW’s designs are clearly a lot better than their partners designs - Jeep Commander, anyone?

B40 Concept:

The B40 concept SUV has a range of style - you can see a Wrangler, you can see bits of the Landrover LRX, and bits of the last gen Jeep Cherokee, but altogether the overall design just works well! We like it! The B40 is based on an improved Brave Warrior SUV chassis, Beijing Auto Works has also upgraded the suspension to make it into a more comfortable ride. The most surprising thing of all, the B40 is a hybrid. The B40 is expected to go into production by the end of this year.

Ragtop Warrior:

The convertible Warrior jeep is the civilian version on the recently launched PLA Warrior jeep. China Car Times has seen a few of the Warriors out in PLA service, and we have to say they do look awesome.

Hybrid Warrior:

PLA military planners can now sleep soundly at night knowing that their PLA SUVs wont be pumping out lots of CO2 when patrolling the boundries of the glorious PRC! Beijing Auto Works has created a hybrid version of the Warrior, and could well see full time use by the Police, Army, or the Parks commission pretty soon. An excellent idea, who said the PLA wasn’t red green?
