BAIC X25 Debut

[Warlock-]

 

The second model is the small BAIC X25 SUV that will compete frontally in a segment where we find strong exponents such as: Chevrolet Trax, Suzuki Vitara, Renault Duster, CX-3, Honda HR-V and others.

 

Engine

 

Under the hood we find a four-cylinder 1.5-liter that delivers 114 hp and 109 lb-ft of torque and that is coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission or an automatic provided by AISIN that has operating modes for "Snow" and " Sport". The traction is to the front axle. The firm argues a 0 - 100 km / in 11 .8 seconds, while in terms of consumption announces 16.39 km / l. The brake system is of discs both forward and back with ABS, while the direction is electric assistance.

For its part, the geometry of the suspension is McPherson forward and Torque bar back. Although the firm has not confirmed the safety specifications, we assume that they will be at least equal to those of the D20 that is below in positioning and price. The above means that we should receive 6 airbags and a reversing camera, in addition to the aforementioned Antilock Braking system.

Interior and Equipment

The cabin can not deny the similarity with the Mercedes-Benz NCCG models, that is; Class A, CLA and GLA. However BAIC ensures that the development of the X25 cockpit was developed jointly with DAIMLER, so that allows us to infer that the Teutonic firm agreed that the resemblance was so great. We found surfaces with piano finish and others with a simile / imitation carbon fiber.

As for the equipment, we found: rain sensor, automatic headlight ignition, daytime running lights, sunroof, Smart Call infotainment system with 7 "touch screen, navigator, Bluetooth and an interface that closely resembles that of the operating system IOS from Apple. The BAIC X25 will arrive initially only in the entry version, called "Comfort" with manual transmission with a price of $ 239,000 pesos, although later more variants will be added where the automatic transmission will be offered.
