BAIC's compact SUV arrived as the Beijing X55 in late 2022 and was updated to X55 Plus form in 2024. A 1.5 turbopetrol and long spec sheets are the draw, with 2026 pricing from R429,900 and a 5-year/150,000km warranty. Volumes have grown, though resale values remain softer than Haval or Chery equivalents.
