- Can you fit a bike in a BAIC Beijing X55?
New premium mid-size SUV, the BAIC X55 is well-equipped in standard trim and will appeal to many families. The question of its efficacy when transporting gear for outings may come up, and we wanted to know if you could get a bicycle into the back. Let's find out!
BAIC biking
The BAIC X55 is one of the latest entrants into our local mid-size SUV market and is spectacularly equipped in standard trim. From a very premium interior fitment to technology that sets it apart from its closest competitors.
The overall dimensions of the X55 is 4 620 mm long, 1 886 mm wide, 1 680 mm tall and it has a wheelbase of 2 735mm which gives it a spacious cabin for passengers and/or carrying luggage. The only dimension that BAIC has officially released for the cargo area, states that the boot volume is 350l, enough to pack your biking gear and some snacks, but we do also know that the X55 has rear folding seats that can increase boot depth and volume substantially.
After physically measuring this arrangement we can conclude that If one were to drop the rear seats and remove the front wheel of a standard 26″ mountain bike, it will fit, with some finagling.
Verdict
Yes, you can fit a standard adult-size bicycle into the X55, but we don’t recommend it due to the soft touch premium interior paneling. It would be better advised for you to fit a bike rack or similar to keep your interior in pristine condition.
