Highlights

What stands out about the B40

Robust Performance and Off-Road Capability

Equipped with a 2.0-litre petrol turbo engine delivering 160 kW at 5,500 r/min, or a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine producing 110 kW at 4,000 r/min and 350 Nm of torque between 1,800 and 2,800 r/min, the B40 PLUS offers robust performance. Its non-bearing 3D protective body, featuring a high-strength roll cage and integrated moulding B-pillar, ensures structural integrity. The vehicle’s approach angle of 37°, departure angle of 31°, ramp angle of 23°, and ground clearance of 210 mm contribute to its excellent off-road capabilities.

Rugged Exterior with Urban Sophistication

The BAIC B40 PLUS seamlessly blends ruggedness with urban refinement. Its distinctive design features nearly 200 LED light sources on the exterior, inspired by a “disconnected” light strip concept. Exposed hinge structures and a three-section opening body with an independent opening trunk window highlight its mechanical aesthetics, offering a flexible and versatile shape.

Modern Interior with Advanced Technology

Inside, the B40 PLUS boasts a 12.3-inch full-size LCD dashboard and a 10-inch centre control display, enhancing the driving experience with modern technological configurations. The ambient lighting system offers 256 colours, including recommended hues like red, green, ice blue, white, and orange, with modes such as single-colour static, single-colour breathing, and multi-colour breathing to reflect the driver’s mood.
