Looks like only 2019/2020 models are still in production (I guess others don't meet the national VI standards?)
Do/did any of the BJ212s come with diff locks?

the front wheel of the 2019 models seem to have a hub lock (see photo in link)

but for 2020 it's not there anymore. There seems to be no mention of deff locks at all for BJ212s.

Any ideas?

Specs going back to 2002 civilian models, published by Bitauto, show diff locks to be absent.

Re: the engine room photo seen above

There are some interesting things going on in that engine room?
Should the washer fluid bottle and coolant expansion bottle, both be upright? Should the battery be upright, and level? Should the windshield washer hose be free from interference with the air conditioner hose? Should there be a couple of side to side rods, to supplement that fore and aft rod, seen holding the upper tank of the engine radiator?
Or perhaps it's the camera angle giving me a skewed view.

Re: Camera angle, would these images help?

As a chinese vehicles fan I feel the kind of sentiment for the model as most of people have for G-wagen or Land Rover Defender :-D
