Motor

90%

The BAIC X5 is a modern vehicle in Egypt. It's a multi-purpose SUV equipped with a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder, turbocharged engine that produces 148 hp and 210 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a CVT automatic transmission with front-wheel drive.

It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds. Average fuel consumption is approximately 7.4 liters per 100 km/h, which is moderate and economical. It also comes with a 55-liter fuel tank.

The engine offers good performance, with a fuel-efficient transmission that saves fuel and is reliable and hassle-free. The engine is traditional, like other Chinese cars, and the transmission is traditional, good, not bad. Acceleration is acceptable for a car of this type. It offers acceptable performance, but it is not a sports car for strong acceleration.

The BAIC X5 measures 4480 mm long, 1837 mm wide, and 1680 mm high, with a trunk capacity of 388 liters. It also has a wheelbase of 2665 mm. The car has a good and suitable interior space.

The BAIC X5 comes with many interior features, including a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, steering wheel position adjustment, a 12-volt power outlet, leather seats, a front armrest with cup holders, dimming interior mirrors, a 5-inch instrument cluster, automatic air conditioning, upper and lower rear air conditioning vents, and a 6-way manual leg and 4-way front passenger seat adjustment.

It also features an entertainment system consisting of 6 speakers, a 9-inch media screen with voice command, a radio, a navigation system, a 12-volt power outlet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a USB port, providing adequate entertainment for passengers and the driver.

The BAIC X5's interior design offers the comfort of a sport utility vehicle, offering the largest headroom in its class and ample space for all passengers, with ample space for five people to comfortably sit in, along with ample rear storage space. The rear seats can be folded down, and there's powerful automatic air conditioning with the most powerful VOC air purification systems to provide fresh air.

The car has good interior materials, including leather, with piano black door trim, and a bottle compartment in the doors. There's a small rear window area, and storage space in the doors is somewhat limited. The rear space is spacious, with plenty of room between the knees of rear passengers and the backs of the front seats. Entry and exit are easy, and the rear bench can comfortably accommodate three passengers.

The steering wheel and dashboard also have good materials, with circular air conditioning vents in the BAIC logo. The dashboard has a simple design, and a large, separate 9-inch screen that resembles a tablet.

The cabin features a sunroof, which isn't large but is good, with good sealing and interior materials. Storage spaces are not too large, with a center armrest in the rear without cup holders, and child seats are installed in the rear. The transmission tunnel isn't too high in the rear, making for a comfortable ride.

The trunk isn't nearly as big as the BYD X3's, which is one of the car's drawbacks, given its lack of space.

The cargo area is better, with the rear seat folded to increase storage space.

The sound insulation is good, and the engine noise insulation is average. However, the car's audio system is simple and limited, and the entertainment system has a slight delay in response.

 

Spare Parts

60%

Operating costs are good, car maintenance is reasonably priced, and spare parts are moderately priced, but the availability of spare parts is limited due to the car's weak sales in Egypt and its limited availability. Spare parts can be found inside the dealership, but outside the dealership it is difficult to find them because the car is not widely available, and therefore its spare parts are not widely available in the market due to the lack of high demand for them.

Suspension

90%
The BAIC X5 comes with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. It also features the latest global steering systems, such as Rear Wheel Following Steering (RWFS), which follows the rear wheel's axis when turning in the opposite direction to the front wheel, increasing the car's stability, especially on curves. The suspension and steering are good, and the multi-link rear suspension enhances the car's stability, providing smooth shock absorption, potholes, and bumps, making it extremely smooth. The steering is precise, with no dead spots, and it maneuvers well, with a slight sense of lean, which is normal for cars in this crossover category. The car's hefty weight of 1,435 kg also enhances the car's stability.

Resale

40%

The BAIC X5 is less popular than the smaller and less expensive BAIC X3 in the Egyptian market, and being offered in one category also made it less popular. The car has not yet achieved strong sales in Egypt due to its newness and the fact that the agent is not one of the large, well-known agencies whose name could be a marketing tool for the car. In addition, there is not much marketing for the car and the small quantities available, which means its presence in the resale market is small and its sales in the used car market are slow as well due to its newness, high price, and the small number of people who have tested it. This comes despite the fact that the agent has provided a resale program for it that reduces its price by 15% in the first year of purchase, provided that it does not exceed a certain distance.

Security

80%
