The B40 Trailmaster, also known globally as the BJ40, enters its second generation with updates to design, mechanical hardware, and cabin features. It now measures 4,790 mm long, 1,940 mm wide, and 1,895 mm tall, riding on a 2,760 mm wheelbase. Off-road figures include a 37-degree approach angle, 31-degree departure angle, and 230 mm of ground clearance.

Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 245-PS and 395-Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox from ZF. The SUV features a part-time 4WD system, a low-speed crawl mode, and an Advanced Terrain System (ATS) offering 11 drive modes and 20 combinations.

Inside, the B40 Trailmaster gets digital displays, dual-tone leather trim, and an infotainment system with navigation and media functions. Safety equipment includes stability and traction control, hill descent control, and a reinforced body structure.

Joining it at the BAIC booth is the B60e rEV, the brand’s full-size SUV equipped with a range-extended electric drivetrain. It features dual electric motors and a built-in power generator, delivering 540-PS and 655-Nm of torque. The gasoline generator allows charging on the go, enabling a total range of up to 1,200 kilometers.

The B60e rEV has 215 mm of ground clearance and a water-wading depth of up to 800 mm. It rides on 20-inch wheels and includes retractable side steps. Exterior changes from the regular B60 include a new LED-lit grille, vertical DRLs, and a cleaner side profile.

The cabin offers three rows of seats, with the second row getting aviation-style chairs with massage, memory, and ventilation functions. Other features include a panoramic sunroof, Infinity-branded audio system, active noise cancellation, and multiple digital displays.
