BJ40 Plus Competitors
BAIC BJ40 Plus shares similarities with Wrangler Jeep and has a direct competition with it in the international market. In Pakistan, BJ40 Plus has no direct competition due to its unique features. A few vehicles which share some features with the BJ40 Plus are Haval H6, Toyota Fortuner, and Toyota Hilux Revo.
Haval H6 lies in the same price range and has fuel consumption similar to BJ40 Plus but is more suitable for driving within the city.
Toyota Fortuner is suitable for off-road adventures but is not as powerful as the BJ40 Plus.
Toyota Hilux on the other hand is a strong pickup with extra boot space and a stealthy exterior which makes it suitable for offroading. The major difference is that it is not an SUV jeep-like BJ40 Plus.
