Autohome journalists got acquainted with the BJ40 Magic Core model shortly before the start of sales. This SUV has a rechargeable hybrid powertrain with a 1.5-liter engine. Thanks to the nickel-cobalt-manganese battery, the BAIC all-terrain vehicle is capable of driving up to 155 kilometers without activating the internal combustion engine, and gasoline consumption is 1.4 liters per 100 kilometers.

The BAIC BJ40 is already sold in China with a 2.0 petrol turbo engine or a turbodiesel of the same capacity. The hybrid will have minimal external differences: the design of the rims will change, a charging hatch will appear in the right rear fender, and mud flaps will also be added. However, the technique may be completely different.

It is known that the total power reserve will be more than 1,200 kilometers, and off-road capabilities will not be affected: electronic imitations of locks are provided, as well as special driving modes. The peak output of the power plant is not disclosed, but the 1.5 petrol turbo engine will develop 188 horsepower. Probably, in the catalog the new product will be called BJ40e.

The start of sales of the ultra-economical BAIC BJ40 is scheduled for December 17. All specifications and prices will be announced then.

They wanted to bring the new generation of BJ40 to Russia this year under the name BJ41, but an increase in recycling fees affected the plans.
