Published on September 4, 2011 by Tycho de Feyter

The production version of the Beijing Auto Works (BAW) B40 debuted at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show but has still not been listed on the Chinese auto market. Question is, or was, why? Many thought it had to do with the engine, an ancient 2.4, left over from the Beijing-Jeep joint venture days. This indeed seems to be the reason, BAW wanted to fit a better engine. And the new baby is: the Saab 2.0 turbo that Beijing Auto bought in 2009.

Beijing Auto Show Preview: BAW B40

Published on April 20, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter

It took BAW (Beijing Auto Works, Beiqi) two years to get the 2008 concept in production. The B40 will debut at the Beijing Auto Show next Friday. The name stayed, as did all the concept’s lines. The B40 loox like a modern interpretation of the ancient Jeep Wrangler, Jeep once was in a joint venture with BAW, called ‘Beijing-Jeep’. However, they didn’t make the Wrangler.

The B40′s design is very likable and it’s two-doors-only make sure it almost has no competition. There might be a reason for that; who will buy it? Still very brave of BAW to bring this wonderfull machine to the world. Engines likely 2.0 and 2.4 petrols.
