Built to conquer, designed to command

“Built to conquer. Designed to command. Priced to impress.”. The BJ40 is a premium SUV that can comfortably move from Colombo’s traffic to the rough estate and village roads seen across the island. The imagery of the vehicle powering through a muddy forest trail reinforces its capability in monsoon conditions and unpaved routes common in Sri Lanka.

Key mechanical highlights

• Engine and gearbox: A 2.0L turbocharged engine paired with a sophisticated ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, aimed at delivering smooth acceleration and better fuel efficiency on highways and in stop-start city driving.
• 4×4 system: A BorgWarner part-time 4WD system, allowing the driver to shift between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive depending on road conditions, which is particularly useful when switching from the Southern Expressway to rural by-roads or estate climbs.
• Differential locks: Front and rear electrically controlled differential locks are highlighted, offering enhanced traction on slippery or uneven surfaces such as plantation tracks, muddy fields and riverbanks.
• Driving modes & suspension: The BJ40 features four driving modes together with double wishbone independent front suspension and a five-link rear suspension, tuned to balance comfort on tarmac with stability off-road.

Off-road credentials for Sri Lankan terrain

Features an approach angle of 37° and a departure angle of 31°, figures that will appeal to Sri Lankan off-road enthusiasts who regularly tackle steep embankments, rock steps and rutted estate roads. Combined with generous ground clearance and all-terrain tyres shown in the visual, the BJ40 is positioned not just as an SUV with tough styling but as a genuinely capable off-roader.

Ownership experience and after-sales support

Recognising that after-sales support is crucial for buyers outside the Western Province, enjoy islandwide service facilities and well-trained technicians. As part of the David Pieris Group of Companies, which highlights a 40+ year legacy in the Sri Lankan automotive sector, the BJ40 benefits from an established network for servicing, repairs and genuine parts availability.

Price, value and availability

The promotional offer showcases a price of Rs. 31,995,000/-(inclusive of VAT), making it clear that the listed amount already covers value added tax, though other on-road costs such as registration and insurance may be extra. “Priced to impress“, the BJ40 aims to deliver strong value in the context of Sri Lanka’s current vehicle market, where new 4×4 models remain relatively limited due to import regulations.
