Since the 212 4×4 SUV was officially launched by the Towell Auto Group, it has been increasing in popularity within the country of Oman due to an increased interest in off-roading among residents of places such as Nizwa, Sohar, Sur, Barka, and Salalah. The increase in popularity comes on the heels of the one of a kind certification earned by the 212 through evaluations and tests conducted in the specific environments of Oman by the Oman Automobile Association (OAA).
Made specifically for the unique environments in Oman that range from mountains to wadis, the 212 has appealed greatly to adventurers who are looking for capability, durability, and performance rather than comfort.
Built for Real Off-Road Performance
The model line comprises two different models that have been designed to offer exceptional 4×4 capabilities, incorporating state-of-the-art off-roading technologies:
- The 212 Adventurer model and the top of the range 212 Navigator model
- Based on a body-on-frame ladder frame chassis made of 99% high strength steel
- Differentiation of the front, centre and rear locks
- Robust rigid axle suspensions system
- Multi-terrain drive settings
- Superior wading abilities, an exclusive trait of expensive off-roading cars
A Legacy of Proven Capability
Beijing Automotive Works (BAW) was established way back in 1958 and is one of the most venerable car manufacturers in China. The first model of the 212 appeared in 1961, and since then it has been famous for its reliable nature and versatility in use both by the army, government, and ordinary citizens. The history goes on with the latest versions of the car, which can be used not only for adventure but in daily life.Oman’s diverse landscapes, outdoor culture and passion for exploration make it a natural fit for the 212
Trusted and Validated Locally
212 has been granted trust certification by the Oman Automobile Association (OAA). This was after extensive analysis and testing in specific local conditions. The certification emphasizes the capability of the vehicle to operate with confidence in the harsh terrains of Oman.
Where to Experience the 212
Customers across Oman are invited to visit the 212 showroom in Al Hail, Muscat, or explore their nearest Towell Auto Centre across the country. They can also book a test drive to experience the Adventurer and Navigator models firsthand.
