Let us recall that in China, the Beijing X7 model (the Beijing brand is used mainly in the domestic market) debuted in 2020; it is considered the flagship of the company’s “passenger SUV” line (that is, excluding the BJ series). In the spring of this year, a restyled crossover launched in its homeland — with a frameless radiator grille, different optics and a modernized interior. But we have now set up the assembly of the pre-reform cross country. However, such an SUV is still in service in China.
