China’s off-roader seeks a niche in SA with its BAIC B40 Plus: Beijing is hoping that its BAIC B40 Plus will replicate legendary off-roading on a budget

Stepping into a vehicle like the BAIC B40 Plus for the first time is a bit like opening a lucky packet. You know you’re going to get a collection of trinkets; some might be cheap plastic, but the hope is that there’s enough useful items to make the purchase worthwhile.

We’ll get the obvious out of the way first: the vehicle borrows a heavy influence from the Jeep Wrangler. And influence is a generous choice of words. It’s not quite as bad as some other Chinese copycats —— but it’s undeniable the rugged American’s aesthetic firmly guided the designer’s pen. The biggest positive of manufacturing a Wrangler baby is that the Jeep’s on-the-go DIY comes along with it. In probably the coolest feature of the 4×4, you can rip off the exterior on a whim. The roof is cut into two and one or both parts can be clipped undone. The doors are relatively easy to remove as well with an Allen key.
