    Looks like journalists have also been tricked by these modern cars. The BAIC is the only car under 500k with 130kw and over 300 of torque. That's a huge deal, if you have driven a Chery tiggo 4 or 7, you would know the primary selling point is the engine. I own X55, have owned it for 6 months, it's a great car. No competitors at this price. look at the kw and torque friends, its a rip off, to get a bmw X1 with this power you would have to fork out 850k. Let that sink in.

      Yes, but I recently got the brand new Bmw X1 20d as my first car. It’s amazing!! The attention to detail is just on a different level. The driving dynamics and just the refinement is on a level above another car.
      Remember you always get what you pay for.
      Not saying it’s a bad car, and I must add the Baic is much better value for money no doubt. But the BMW just has something special.

      @@NIANDREVZ u are 100% right.. I traded in my 2015 bmw 118i, it had 125kw, I didn't want to get a smaller engine and pay more way money so bmw was out of the question. when I drove the Chery tiggo 7, the interior was really pretty, but when I drove it, it lacked gumption, manufacturers use all the interior quality and tech to lure people into buying cars that look good , but with a tiny engine, we buy a car to drive, when we drive we not touching materials, looking screens, we are interacting with the engine. I guess my 118i made me drive in a certain way, really was a fun car to drive, the BAIC gave me a similar experience in a larger car, it's tech is actually way worse than the haval, Chery, screen is an after thought, no physical Aircon buttons, hazard light above the rear view mirror, no real climate control, it's either ice cold, or hot , but man the driving is German feeling and it looks like mars rover.

You failed to mention service plan / warranty , hell you even forgot to mention if it had Apple car play / Android auto . Boet , you have the personality , character and charm to make a success of this channel , just need to tweak a few things 👍

    I would have liked this review but the mental fixation with anything European being better was annoying. Why can't a Chinese engine be better on its own? Why must it be suspected that Germans had something to do with it? That mental fixation, which also has racial undertones, is the reason why South Africans will never maximize value for money! Something doesn't have to have European connection to be better! That's really backward thinking!

    It looks like an amazing car and I have been in one, it feels very very well put together. But in this day and age you cannot leave out the fact that it does not have Android auto or Apple car play. The omission of this boggles my mind and it has prevented me from even considering it further.

      I was worried about this too so I went to check the car out myself. It has carbitlink and you can almost say it's way better than Carplay in my opinion. There's still an option to have the carbitlink like apple carplay or Android auto. If not, you can literally mirror your phone on the screen and use more apps than in your conventional carplay. It's just sad that no reviewer actually cared to connect to this system and show people how it works.

      Roughly it's the size of a Mazda CX-5 or Rav4 It's not 4WD, but it's a solid car, got lost in Bergsville and ended up on a 4X4 trail, after an hour I had to turn around, it got us out safely, so it can survive some light off road. Only 1 engine across the range, 1.5lt Turbo, 130kw and 305 torque, that's higher than all it's rivals, it's a sporty feeling car to drive.

      ​@tulzm6594 go on the internet or at any of the BAIC dealerships and you will get your answer. Even many of the reviewers in SA said they are being manufactured in PE so it's misinformation to say that they lack parts. What they even do is try to even remove parts from stock cars and put them in yours so that you don't have any issues...research man, research
