Daily Tribune
BAIC Philippines has launched the B40e Trailmaster rEV, a plug-in hybrid off-roader designed to combine electric efficiency with long-distance capability and rugged performance.
The new model marks a step forward from its predecessor, offering a range-extending electric vehicle system that delivers a combined driving range of more than 1,200 kilometers and up to 152 kilometers of pure electric driving based on CLTC standards. The setup allows drivers to rely on electric power for daily commutes while maintaining flexibility for longer trips.
The B40e Trailmaster rEV is positioned for families and outdoor enthusiasts, targeting those who balance urban driving with weekend travel. Its hybrid system is designed to handle varying road conditions across the Philippines, from city traffic to provincial routes.
The SUV retains a body-on-frame structure, paired with a four-wheel-drive system to ensure traction across uneven terrain. It is built to handle rough roads and trail driving while maintaining stability.
Design features include a frameless door window layout that improves visibility, particularly in tight urban environments and off-road situations.
Inside, the vehicle is equipped with dual 12.8-inch displays, including a center control screen and a passenger display. A 12-speaker Infinity sound system supports in-car entertainment, while an air intelligence system helps maintain cabin air quality during long drives.
The model also features vehicle-to-load capability, allowing it to power external devices through two 220V outlets with up to 2.2kW output. This function is designed for outdoor use, such as camping or roadside setups.
The B40e Trailmaster rEV includes a suite of driver assistance systems and a full set of airbags. Its hybrid configuration aims to improve fuel efficiency while delivering increased power and torque compared to conventional models.
The SUV is available in Jet Black, Snowy White, Jungle Green, Mineral Yellow, and Future Gray. Interior options include black with gray and orange accents, or green with gray.
BAIC Philippines is offering a five-year or 150,000-kilometer bumper-to-bumper warranty, along with the same coverage for the high-voltage battery, and three years of roadside assistance.
The B40e Trailmaster rEV is priced starting at P2,888,000.
