The BAIC B40 Plus is a stylish, off-road-ready 4x4 with handsome looks at a price that will make you smile. Kitted with creature comforts, it's perfectly suited to the daily commute, the dunes, and tackling an off-road trail. The attractive pricing and somewhat more traditional 4x4 appearances mean you make a statement wherever you go. You're probably in or considering a B40 Plus because you want to make a statement of your own, and what better way of doing that than to accessorise your ride!

Fitting modifications and accessories to your BAIC B40 Plus is a great way to make your B40 Plus stand out from the crowd. It can also enhance your ownership experience, especially if you're planning some overlanding adventures. 4x4-specific accessories can help you in a pickle and augment your adventure.
BAIC doesn't offer any official accessories through its own channels, but there are a host of accessories available online. The Chinese brand is naturally popular in its home country, which itself is the home of many aftermarket accessories. We haven't selected generic, universal accessories; these are BAIC B40 Plus-specific accessories that we think you should consider.
BAIC B40 Plus Extras
1. Roof Rack and Ladder combo
Price: Approx. R11 000 excluding shipping, customs, and VAT.
Popular with the Jimny crowd, this side ladder and roof rack combo will allow you to store excess baggage on the roof, while the ladder will allow you to access that luggage or equipment when needed.
2. Electric Retractable Side Step
Price: Approx. R18 000 excluding shipping, customs, and VAT.
While the local B40 Plus is already equipped with side steps, these electronic side steps will retract when you close the door, and extend when you open it again. This is handy for those who rely on the steps to get in and out, but still want to maintain the clean, uncluttered lines of the B40 Pluses design.
3. Side Window Rack
Price: Approx. R1 800 excluding shipping, customs, and VAT.
If you're the kind that sets up camp while you're out and about, you may find this side window storage and fold-out table a handy addition to your BAIC B40 Plus. You'll be able to store items that you'd rather not have in the car on the outside and then fold out the tray and use it for your drinks, spices, and what-have-you.
4. Spare Tyre Cover
Price: Approx. R2 400 excluding shipping, customs, and VAT.
This spare tyre cover is an elegant and classy way of dressing up the overall look of your B40 Plus and helps protect your spare tyre from the sun (Yes, all the tyres are exposed to the sun, but the top of your spare tyre is more exposed, more often - this way you won't have to rotate it.). Match it to your body colour for the ultimate accessory.
5. Grille Light Bar
Price: Approx. R9 000 excluding shipping, customs, and VAT.
A worthy style upgrade is this LED lightbar that replaces your regular grille, and makes the BAIC B40 Plus look completely different. Use it as a daytime running light or simply connect it to your main beams for a truly unique look at night.
