Details and Price
BAIC BJ40 Plus is a compact off-road SUV that has no direct competitors in Pakistan. In terms of off-road capability, it may compete with Toyota Fortuner or Suzuki Jimny.
The SUV’s powerplant is a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 218 hp and 320 Nm of torque, which it sends to either the rear wheels or all four wheels (depending on the settings) via a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
BJ40 Plus has a locking differential that engages 4×4 mode, and a low-range mode that keeps it in low gear while off-roading. Other features include:
- All-wheel disc brakes with ABS technology
- Electronic parking brake
- Automatic climate control
- Rear A/C vents
- Parking sensors
- Traction control
- Stability control
- Hill-start assist and descent control
- Modern infotainment system
- Driver and passenger airbags
- Multi-function steering wheel among other features
Because it is an adventurous off-road vehicle, BAIC BJ40 Plus only attracts a small niche of car buyers across Pakistan. However, with the recent price hike, that niche may have shrunken further.
