BAIC B40
BAIC's B40 slots into a segment already spoiled for choice—think Ford Bronco Sport, Suzuki Grand Vitara, even the Haval Jolion—all gunning for the wallet of the value-driven SUV buyer. But the B40 aims for a very particular sweet spot: you get that old-school, body-on-frame feel without needing to cough up bakkie money. Under the bonnet, there’s a 2.0-litre turbopetrol driving either an automatic or a semi-auto ‘box. Diesel and hybrid fans? Move along. You won’t find a B40 at every corner dealership, either. With just three active used listings—R399,900 to R639,999—the price swing is wild. That gap says everything about the scattergun specs and condition you’ll find out there right now. All three B40s on offer are used, which tells you new stock isn’t exactly flying onto local floors. Two are 2.0T Plus Champion Autos, going for between R459,999 and a punchy R639,999. There’s a lone City Hunter A/T at R399,900. Mileage hovers at a modest 25,644 km, so these aren’t relics yet—2022 to 2025 models, all told. If you’re eyeing a B40, you’re probably after its tough-guy looks and that turbopetrol punch, landing at a price that undercuts the big names on paper at least. It’s not as plush as the Grand Vitara, nor as gadget-stuffed as the Jolion, but for some, its bare-bones honesty is exactly what matters. It’s what the B40 should have been from the start.
BAIC
BAIC’s presence in South Africa is, frankly, more of a curious footnote than a market force. Most local buyers only stumble across the name when scrolling for SUVs under R400k, not because they’ve actually set out to find a BAIC. The numbers back that up: 22 active listings, almost all used, with prices from R319,500 to R639,999 and a median just above R374,200. That puts BAIC squarely in the same hunting ground as Haval and Chery, but here’s the rub — 21 of those cars are used, only one is new. Franchised retail? Almost invisible. That shifts the equation entirely, because if you’re buying a secondhand BAIC, suddenly things like dealer support and spares start to matter a lot more, especially once the warranty is half-spent or gone. The X55 makes up the bulk of what’s out there — 19 of 22 listings, all petrol, all SUV, running from R319,500 to R509,900. On paper at least, it’s pitched directly at the Haval Jolion and Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, but BAIC doesn’t have their local traction or resale confidence yet. The B40, the only other model in sight, is a bigger SUV aiming ambitiously at R639,999 — a tough ask for a badge buyers barely know. No diesels, no hybrids, no hatchbacks. Just petrol SUVs, and almost nothing else. But if you pack smart and need space on a budget, the X55’s cabin size for R350k used is hard to ignore.
