Emotional Block design language
The BJ40 PRO ushers in a new design philosophy called Emotional Block. Emotion means the design increment with more humane care. More positive and warm feeling surface, delicate transition and new era elements are reinforced on the basic form structures. Block refers to the internalized core attributes of strong off-road functionality as well as the accompanying strong character ethos.
Some exterior highlights include a horizontal grille with block-shaped LED headlights, more LED lighting on the grille and LED fog lights on the contrasting front bumper which also houses an underbody protective skid plate. Its side profile features chunky off-road tires, contrasting wheel arches with integrated LED lighting, functional roof rails and frame-less doors while the rear has a swinging tailgate with a spare wheel mounted on it and vertical LED taillights.
