The BAIC lineup at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show was bold and adventure-ready, headlined by two standout SUVs that blend serious off-road cred with cutting-edge electrification: the B40 Pro TrailMaster and the B60e Beaumont rEV.
B40 Pro TrailMaster: Diesel Power Meets Off-Road Dominance
At first glance, the B40 Pro TrailMaster looks every bit the part of a rugged trail-conquering machine. Under the hood is a 2.0L Aucan turbo-diesel engine paired with a BorgWarner part-time 4WD system and a staggering 11 driving modes, including Wading, Rock, Ice, and Deep Snow.
It’s not just about brute strength. The TrailMaster comes loaded with front and rear locking differentials, a Wading Induction System, Crawl Control, Off-Road Turn Assist, and customizable steering and brake settings. Ground clearance sits at 220mm, with 17-inch all-terrain tires and electrically retractable step boards for added utility.
Tech-wise, the cabin houses a futuristic 5-screen interface, including twin 12.8-inch displays, intuitive media controls, and power microfiber leather seats with cooling, heating, and memory functions. Signature styling touches—like frameless door windows, wraparound DRLs, and a split rear tailgate—complete the rugged-lux-meets-tech-savvy design.

B60e Beaumont rEV: Electrification Goes Big and Bold
BAIC’s most ambitious electrified offering yet, the B60e Beaumont rEV, is a seven-seater, full-size SUV that combines electrified mobility with military-grade toughness. Armed with dual motors, the B60e outputs a total of 540hp and 655Nm of torque, paired with a range extender system that delivers up to 1,200km of total range—all with Single Pedal Mode for smooth, efficient operation.
This all-electric SUV also features 9 drive modes, BAIC’s full Big Assist+ ADAS suite, and a 540-degree panoramic camera. Its structure meets global IP68 standards, with reinforced chassis guards and a collision-absorbing frame for safety on and off the road.
Inside, the Beaumont offers top-tier indulgence: power-adjustable seats with heating, cooling, massage, and memory, plus a 12+1 Infinity speaker system with active noise canceling. The 6-screen infotainment interface, head-up display, and customizable LED lighting round out the high-tech, high-comfort cabin.
