BAIC is a Chinese brand that started its SA operations back in 2016 and by 2018 had started assembling a semi-knocked down range of cars at its Gqeberha plant
With its limited product range and small dealer footprint it has been slow going for the brand, with less than 300 units of its D20 sedan and hatchback, and X25 compact SUV sold in total thus far.
But there is a lot more to this new BAIC B40 Plus than borrowed looks. It boasts a chassis built with Chinese military know-how to handle unforgiving terrain, plus independent suspension with double wishbones up front and solid-axle rear suspension for comfortable marauding. The B40 Plus comes standard with ABS and some models also feature an electronic stability programme, emergency brake assist, traction control and hill ascent and descent control.
