[Vanguard Auto/Original] Recently, the live test of the BJ30 Traveler fuel-saving challenge gave us a new perspective on this 70,000 RMB-class light off-road SUV.
Besides domestic real-road condition support, earlier it collaborated with automotive bloggers from five countries: South Africa, Poland, Indonesia, UAE, and Mexico for cross-border long-distance trials, completing verification of the whole vehicle and hybrid system across different climates and terrains. Domestic and overseas two-way testing closed the loop, honestly measuring fuel consumption dropping below 5L per 100km across multiple road conditions. Real-world verification confirms low fuel consumption; the three-engine hybrid builds a fuel-saving benchmark.
The entire test followed GLTC Global Life Test, OLTC Off-road Life Test dual-circuit standards. The live stream split into three real driving scenarios: urban congestion, highway long-distance, country road off-roading, comprehensively testing the vehicle's "Ultra-Economical, Ultra-Spacious, Ultra-Wild" three product attributes. First, let's talk about the fuel consumption performance everyone cares about most. Urban congestion is a major fuel consumption disaster zone for fuel vehicles; frequent start-stop, low-speed crawling easily increase energy consumption. The BJ30 Traveler is equipped with an exclusive three-engine HEV hybrid system, adopting three-engine six-mode + electric four-wheel drive combination. Driving prioritizes motor drive, engine intervenes to do work as needed, avoiding idle fuel consumption problems from the root. Model two-wheel drive official combined fuel consumption 5.85L/100km, four-wheel drive 6.45L/100km, real-world urban congestion test directly broke the 5L threshold, changing the stereotype of hard-core box SUVs with high fuel consumption, daily commuting can save a substantial amount on car maintenance costs.
In terms of space, relying on the 2820mm extra-long wheelbase, the BJ30 Traveler optimizes the whole vehicle cabin space across classes, with no sense of crowding for front and rear passengers when fully loaded. The boxy body maximizes storage capacity, large items like camping tents and cookware can be easily put in the trunk. With rear seats folded down, it forms a 1.92-meter flat large bed. Previously, Polish overseas bloggers performed real-world vehicle loading tests; even after fully loading outdoor supplies, one can still lie flat in the trunk, perfectly adapting to family self-driving and near-suburban camping loading needs.
For unpaved off-road sections, the BJ30 Traveler's 215mm super-high ground clearance, paired with the ATS All-Terrain Control System and professional four-wheel drive chassis, can reasonably distribute four-wheel power by switching terrain modes with one key when facing potholed country roads, gravel rough roads, and mild uphill climbs. It easily completes light off-road crossings, accommodating both city commuting and outdoor fun dual needs.
Priced at the 70,000 RMB level, gathering the three advantages of hybrid fuel saving, large space, and all-scenario off-roading, this BJ30 Traveler model has ranked first in domestic light hybrid SUV sales for 23 consecutive months. The 72% retention value over three years stays firmly at the top of the same price range, and the nationwide dense after-sales network also safeguards owners' daily car use.
Finally, highlighting the key points, on June 12, the BJ30 Traveler Highlight Edition will be launched. The new car's power, interior, and smart configurations are comprehensively upgraded, and the high-spec release also adds exclusive custom car paint. After enduring five-country long-distance trials and strict domestic all-road real-world tests, the BJ30 Traveler relies on the hard power of the three-engine hybrid to firmly secure the benchmark position for 70,000 RMB-level fuel-saving box SUVs.
