Now on its second generation, the next-generation 4x4 SUV gets a sleek new look that appears to have been inspired by the likes of the Ford Bronco. Its boxy looks are combined with eye-catching LED lighting signatures and off-road exterior styling.

Beginning with what’s under the hood, the B40 Trail Master will be powered by a 2.0L Aucan turbo-diesel engine that makes 161 PS and 390 Nm of torque. It is then paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox and a part-time 4WD system courtesy of Borg Warner. Complimenting its go-anywhere hardware are its massive 17-inch all-terrain tires, 220mm of ground clearance, and power-retractable step boards for easier ingress/egress.

To make it more than capable when going off the beaten path, the B40 Tra il Master also comes with 11 all-terrain drive modes, front & rear locking differentials, crawl control, and an off-road turn assist system, which allows for better traction and maneuverability.
