The company emphasized that the diesel version of the BAIC BJ40 received hard locking rear and front cross-axle differentials, which makes it possible to solve more complex off-road tasks.
The new product is offered in a single Exclusive package. Price – 4,400,000 rubles. The price for a BJ40 with a gasoline engine starts at 4,350,000 rubles.
