The BAIC BJ90 or Beijing BJ90 is a full-size luxury SUV produced from 2016. It is based on the second generation Mercedes-Benz GL-Class which has been renamed to GLS-Class as of the 2016 facelift.
Due to the Beijing-Benz joint venture Beijing Auto and Daimler Mercedes-Benz has, and Daimler owns a 12% stake in BAIC Motor, the parent company of the Beijing Automobiles brand, BAIC was able to acquire the specs of the Mercedes-Benz SUV as the foundation for the BJ90.
The SUV retails at around 988,000 yuan (US$141,870).
