BAIC Ruixiang BAIC Ruixiang X5

In response to China's market demand, BAIC Ruixiang, a product of BAIC Yinxiang's strategic restructuring, has launched the BAIC Ruixiang X5, a "7-seat all-scenario SUV". It draws on successful experiences from other large SUVs while having its own uniqueness. The exterior features a straight waterfall grille integrated with headlights, a贯穿式 lower surround, and five-spoke wheels, giving a tough and sporty look, which suits young people's aesthetics. With dimensions of 4788/1875/1730mm and a 2815mm wheelbase, though positioned as a compact SUV, it rivals some midsize SUVs. The 7-seat version offers flexible seating layouts (2+3+2) to meet family travel needs. The interior has an 8-inch touchscreen with T-Twinkle intelligent system, and uses all-black color with large soft materials, showing good quality and competitiveness among peers. It is powered by a 1.5L engine with 156 hp and 215N·m torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, with a fuel consumption of 7.2L/100km, suitable for home use. As a new brand, BAIC Ruixiang faces high market saturation and needs more consumer recognition.

We test drove the 2021 BAIC Ruixiang X5 1.5T automatic luxury 7-seater. Its exterior has a premium feel with original design elements and细腻 headlights, excellent for a sub-100,000 yuan car. The interior uses soft materials within arm's reach, smartly managing costs. Driving is smooth with a rare 6AT in its class, though power is not strong. The chassis is stable at high speeds over bumps but a bit bumpy at low speeds. Steering is heavy with unclear road feel and non-linear return torque, lacking sportiness. However, as a family car, comfortable driving and seating 7 people are what matter.
