BAIC Beijing X55: Best Chinese Car in South Africa?

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
  • BAIC introduced the Beijing X55 in 2022 as a medium-sized SUV with an excellent price tag. But, what are you actually getting for your money and is this new vehicle a quality product or is it just flashy on the outside with little substance?
    We sent renowned presenter and CarsAwards judge Jacob Moshokoa to review the newcomer. He reviews the powertrain, rear seats, boot and what sort of specification the X55 has. Is this a good family car and what other rivals should you be considering?

    About time, thanks for printing my name on the car, I appreciate it. The hazard button is by the rear view mirror. To help potential purchasers, some points to note.
    The boot lid opening height can be adjusted in the infotainment system.
    The seats are real leather and are really comfortable.
    It has a phone screen sharing software called CarbitLink which is adequate.
    It has roughly 30% more power than the Chery tiggo 4 and 7, and jolion.
    I have owned the car since launch, taken it off road as well, it's a solid good car. Best car in it's segment.

    Welcome to the reviewer, first time I've seen him. I'm still a skeptic when it comes to Chinese cars, but great review nonetheless - looks like he actually enjoys what he does. Some reviewers have this persona of being too bothered to enjoy it. Breath of fresh air honestly. Cars are fun, reviewers should look like they are having fun.

    I’ve had this car for over four months now and have done 5000km on it so far. Not only does it turn heads but is very fun and comfortable to drive. I love minimalistic infotainment and climate controls and find it rather easy to use. It might not have android auto but it has Car bit link screen software which makes connecting via Apple and Android phones a breeze.

      @@polar3553 This car is really fast and it feels very solid with almost no engine or wind noise. I think it is probably faster then 80% of the cars on South African roads. The 130kw and 305Nn of torque is almost as fast as the latest Tiguan R line which has 162kw and 350Nm but the big difference is that Tiguan R line costs double the price of the Beijing X55.
