2 Answers
BAIC BJ40 does have a diesel version, such as the BAIC BJ40 Blade Hero Edition. In terms of power, the diesel version is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged diesel engine, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. For the transmission system, it is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The BAIC BJ40 features straight and rugged lines that outline its square and bold body. The front grille's five-square-hole design is a signature symbol of Beijing Auto's off-road heritage, while the exaggerated front and rear bumpers and prominent wheel arches add to its wild beauty. The vehicle is equipped with wide-angle reversing radar, electrically foldable exterior rearview mirrors, roof-mounted audio system, interior lights, and air vents with beverage cooling function, enhancing the model's convenience and user-friendly features.
Yes, the BAIC BJ40 does have a diesel version. I drove one before, the 2019 BJ40 Plus diesel model equipped with a 2.0T diesel engine. The torque output was impressive – just step on the accelerator and it climbs slopes effortlessly, with no worries about insufficient power during off-roading. In terms of fuel consumption, it’s exceptionally economical, averaging only about 8 liters per 100 km, nearly 20% more efficient than the gasoline version, saving a lot on fuel costs for long trips. Maintenance isn’t complicated either—just regular oil changes during servicing, and the parts are highly durable. I drove it for over a year without any major issues. If you frequently go off-road or need an economical vehicle, this diesel version is definitely worth considering. I recommend test-driving the actual car to experience its robust performance.
