The B30 sports a 2 820 mm wheelbase and 215 mm of ground clearance.

The B30 lineup will be offered with the choice of petrol-only and hybrid powertrain options.

Equipped with a single electric motor, the hybrid setup delivers 246 kW and 550 N.m to the road via the front wheels, with the dual motor, all-wheel-drive derivative is endowed with 301 kW and 685 N.m. The B30 has a claimed average fuel consumption between 6.8 and 7.2 L/100 km for the petrol-powered variants and 5.85 L/100 km for the HEV derivatives.

The range will include four levels of specification. The petrol-only model can be had in Elite Adventure (LV2) and Premium Adventure (LV3) grades, and the FWD and AWD hybrid variants are available in Elite Adventure HEV (LV4) and Premium Adventure HEV AWD (LV5) trims, respectively.

The B30 package plays host to such items as 14.6-inch touchscreen infotainment, digital instrumentation, wireless smartphone charging, 360-degree surround-view camera, ambient lighting, flat-folding front seats, and a panoramic sunroof. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) include adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot monitoring.

BAIC has stated that the B30 will be priced between R550 000 and R700 000. Customers can pay a R5 000 deposit to secure a R25 000 discount on the vehicle’s price. The offer is only valid if the purchase is finalised within 15 days of the launch. The exclusive pre-order programme is running from 24 October to 7 November 2025.
