The original BAIC BJ40 2018 resembles the Jeep Wrangler more than the G 63.
To be able to look like the Mercedes-AMG G 63, this BJ40 has been “modified” from the bodykit, headlights, grille to the AMG-style wheels. The interior is completely reupholstered in leather, from the seats to the steering wheel, dashboard, and dashboard to the signature orange color of the Hermes fashion brand.
The seller said the car has been equipped with a carbon steering wheel like the G 63.
The car’s original amenities include: digital clock cluster behind the steering wheel, large entertainment screen on the dashboard, electronic bridge knob placed between the 2 air vents, 2-zone automatic air conditioning, electronic handbrake…
In addition, the BJ40 can also remove the entire door and roof similar to the Jeep Wrangler. This model uses a 2.3L turbocharged gasoline engine, combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive system, producing a maximum capacity of 247 horsepower and maximum torque of 350Nm. .
The car’s seats are covered but not too similar to the G 63.
Genuine Mercedes-AMG G 63 costs up to nearly 490,000 USD but the car is often not available, customers have to wait a long time. At private import establishments, this car model usually costs over 500,000 USD.
The rear of the car is not the same as the G 63 because it still retains the original design, only painted rough and attached with the Mercedes-Benz and AMG logos.
With this BJ40, the owner will likely have difficulty in the next registration issue because the entire appearance has been changed. The seller said that the car’s registration is valid until December 2025.
Next time, the periodic registration period will be reduced to 12 months, because at that time, the car will be more than 7 years old. Changing too many manufacturer details can cause the vehicle to not operate as perfectly as it did originally. This itself is a Chinese car, which also makes users hesitant when choosing.
