Signature Grille and Round Headlights
The upright five-slot grille and round LED headlamps carry the B40's unmistakable off-road face, visible in the mirror long before the badge is.
BAIC B40 Plus Honor Edition
Built on a body-on-frame chassis with full-time 4WD, the B40 Plus Honor Edition is an off-roader in the older sense of the word. A 2.0T petrol engine making 165 kW, short overhangs and a squared-off body that shrugs off the places a soft-roader turns back from — with a cabin civil enough to drive home in.

Explore the B40 Plus
Pick a colour, then drag to walk right around it.
Drag left or right to rotate the vehicle. When focused, use the left and right arrow keys to rotate one frame at a time, Home for the side view or End for the front view. Colours that have no 360° sequence show a still photograph instead.
Bravery should never be limited by the road.

Built to Clear the Rough Stuff
210 mm of ground clearance, a 37 degree approach angle and a 31 degree departure angle let the B40 Plus go where most SUVs turn back.
3 / 5
All-Terrain Tyres on Multi-Spoke Alloys
Chunky alloys wrapped in all-terrain rubber, sized for rock, sand and corrugation rather than the school run.
4 / 5
Side Steps and Protective Cladding
Full-length side steps make climbing in easy, while wheel-arch and sill cladding take the knocks that come with a narrow trail.
5 / 5
Body-on-Frame Silhouette
A boxy body sits on a separate ladder frame — the old-school recipe for towing, load-carrying and taking punishment off-road.
1 / 5
12.3-Inch Infotainment Touchscreen
A widescreen display sits high on the dash for navigation, media and smartphone mirroring, angled so it stays readable in hard sunlight.
2 / 5
Twin-Dial Cluster and Multifunction Wheel
Two clear analogue dials flank a digital readout for trip and vehicle data, with audio and cruise controls on the leather multifunction wheel for a long transit.
3 / 5
Turbine Vents and Physical Climate Dials
Machined turbine-style vents flank real rotary climate dials — controls you can find by feel with gloves on and your eyes on the track.
4 / 5
All-Terrain Rotary Selector
A knurled dial on the console switches between terrain modes, with the low-range and differential controls sitting right alongside it.
5 / 5
Alloy Sports Pedals
Drilled alloy pedals with rubber inserts hold your feet where you put them, wet boots and all.
Proven 4WD, modern cockpit
Advanced off-road technology and safety systems ensure confidence on any terrain. The B40 Plus Honor Edition pairs proven time-sharing 4WD with a modern, legible cockpit built for serious adventurers.
Cockpit & Driver Technology
12.3" Digital Instrument Cluster
A full-width LCD cluster puts speed, gear, range and outside temperature in one clear read, day or night.
