An ultra rare Beijing Jeep BJ2022JL prototype, seen in Shanghai in 2014 by Antoine Chalendard. The BJ2022JL was one of the many proposals for a successor to the BAW BJ212 army utility vehicle.

In the end, the army decided to go for a bigger vehicle and went for another Beijing-Jeep proposal: the BJ2022 Brave Warrior, powered by the same engine. Production
The production contract for the Brave Warrior went to BAW, and it was sold under the Beijing-brand. Over the years, BAW launched dozens of military and civilian variants, and the Brave Warrior is still in production today.
The Brave Warrior was eventually manufactured by BAW under the Beijing-brand, it was available in dozens of military and civilian variants.
An advertisement for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, seen in a residential compound in Beijing in 2009, showing a brown example with sporty five-spoke alloys.

Mercedes-Benz started selling the W221 S-Class in China in 2006, initially only in S300 trim. Later on, they added the S350, S500, and S600 to the lineup. Price of the base S-Class in 2009 started at 9.93 million yuan.

A Mercedes-Benz C-Class L sedan, seen in Beijing in 2017. The Merc’ is wrapped is a matte black wrap and further Benze’d up with darkened windows and a set of sweet sporty wheels. The wrap appears to be of a medium quality but is has been professionally applied over the mirrors and door handles, something many wrappers ‘forget’ to do. Best thing, however, is the ultra cool 京N·S3333 license plate. That’s four threes!
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class L is the long-wheelbase C sedan for the Chinese auto market. It is manufactured by the Beijing-Benz joint venture.
