Yes, it is the former Beijing Jeep 213. It has been discontinued because of its backward technology, high fuel consumption, weak power and poor reliability.

The history is that after the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations in the early 1960s, the Soviet Union stopped supplying the military Jeep "Gaz" 69. In January 1961, the General Staff, the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and the First Ministry of Machinery assigned the task of developing a light off-road vehicle for military command to the Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant. In March 1961, BAIC's light off-road vehicle project was officially launched.

Beijing Jeep 212

In 1984, Beijing JEEP 2500 (Cherokee) was produced in a joint venture with Daimler Chrysler. The Chinese model continued the 212 naming method and was called 213.

Later, when the cooperation period expired, the JEEP trademark could no longer be used, and the domestic name was BAIC Knight.

BAIC Knight is an SUV that is exactly the same as JEEP2500/2700 from appearance to structure. The biggest difference is the engine it is equipped with. Knight completely abandoned the 498 series engine that had been used for nearly 30 years and replaced it with a domestic 4G22D4 engine using Toyota technology.

BAIC Knight has well retained the off-road performance of the Little Cherokee. The four-wheel drive system can easily cope with harsh road challenges and can be easily switched in the cab. Although the tough suspension system loses some comfort, it ensures that the body has good passability and can also reduce the chance of the chassis being damaged by stones.
