About BAW

BAW (北京汽车制造厂 / Beijing Automobile Works) is one of China's oldest automakers, dating to 1953. Originally a military vehicle producer, BAW today focuses on heritage off-road SUVs (BJ212-derived BAW Knight 007, BAW Yongshi). Vehicles use solid axles, body-on-frame construction, and 2.0L/2.4L engines. In Russia BAW Knight is increasingly popular among off-road and rural buyers via parallel imports.
