The next-generation BIAC B40 Trailmaster is a bold evolution of BAIC’s off-road lineup. Built for adventure, this rugged SUV combines serious off-road capability with refined comfort and modern technology. It stays true to its roots with a boxy, utilitarian design while integrating contemporary enhancements that make it just as capable on urban streets as it is on rocky trails. Whether you’re tackling the wilderness or navigating the daily grind, the B40 Trailmaster is engineered to deliver performance, confidence, and style.
Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
Under the hood, the Trailmaster is powered by a 2.0-liter Aucan four-cylinder turbodiesel engine, producing 158 hp and an impressive 390 Nm of torque. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner four-wheel drive system, enabling smooth and responsive power delivery across varying terrains. The Trailmaster also boasts front and rear locking differentials, enhancing traction in extreme off-road conditions. With 220 mm of ground clearance, 17-inch all-terrain tires, and a robust body-on-frame chassis, it’s built to conquer.
Technology Features
The B40 Trailmaster doesn’t just rely on mechanical muscle—it’s also packed with smart features to support the journey. Its centerpiece is a 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, offering intuitive access to entertainment, vehicle settings, and connectivity features. Complementing this are multiple drive modes—11 in total—that adapt the vehicle’s behavior to terrain and driver preference. Technologies like crawl control, off-road turn assist, and a comprehensive driver assist suite ensure both convenience and capability, making even the toughest paths easier to navigate.
Exterior
The B40 Trailmaster makes a visual statement that’s both rugged and refined. Retaining the boxy silhouette of its predecessor, the SUV showcases a chunky front bumper, square LED headlights, and C-shaped daytime running lights—all elements that underscore its tough demeanor. Along the sides, black plastic cladding connects flared wheel arches to the door trims for added protection and style. At the rear, a center-mounted spare tire, black rear bumper, and rectangular LED taillights complete its bold, functional aesthetic.
Interior
Inside the B40 Trailmaster, comfort and utility come together seamlessly. The cabin features microfiber leather seats, with the front seats cooled and power-adjustable for added luxury. The dashboard is modern yet intuitive, dominated by the large infotainment display and complemented by smart storage options. With high-quality materials throughout and a driver-focused layout, the interior is designed to provide a comfortable and connected driving experience—even when the terrain gets rough
Safety
When it comes to safety, the B40 Trailmaster is well-equipped for peace of mind on and off the road. Its suite includes anti-lock brakes (ABS), traction control, hill-start assist, hill-descent control, and a tire pressure monitoring system. A full array of airbags and passive safety systems ensures protection in the event of a collision, while active systems help prevent them in the first place.
