The BAIC BJ20 is based on the same platform as the Senova X65, and is powered by a Mitsubishi-sourced ‘4A91T’ 1.5 liter turbo engine producing 147hp and 210nm. The only transmission offered is a six-speed manual gearbox and only front-wheel-drive is available.[7]

Compared to the BJ20, the BJ30 features a completely redesigned front and rear while still equipped with the same powertrain which is a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 150 HP and 210 Nm (155 lb-ft) of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT.[9]
