The BAIC B40 offers both petrol and diesel engine options with varying fuel consumption performance depending on the model and specification.
BAIC B40 Plus Petrol: The 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine returns a combined fuel consumption of approximately 10.1 litres per 100 km according to BAIC’s official figures[1]. Some sources mention a petrol model consumption figure of 10 L/100 km, with newer variants such as the City Hunter or Champion trims featuring automatic gearboxes[3].
BAIC B40 Plus Diesel: The 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine delivers better fuel efficiency with a claimed combined cycle fuel consumption of 8.5 litres per 100 km[3]. This matches other official sources which list 8.5 l/100km for the diesel variant[5].
Both engine types are designed for rugged, off-road performance and urban utility, but if fuel economy is the priority, the diesel variant is the more efficient choice.
