Who owns the Beijing car brand?
BAIC Group, which is owned by the Beijing city government. The cars are sold by BAIC Motor, its Hong Kong listed passenger-car arm.

Beijing-Jeep. The prefix dates from BAIC's agreement with the American Jeep brand in the 1980s and has stayed on the off-road models.
Is the Beijing BJ40 a Jeep?
No. It is BAIC's own off-roader. The BJ code is a leftover from the old Beijing-Jeep venture, not a sign that Jeep designs or builds it today.
