Gasgoo Munich- BAIC Group has officially pulled back the curtain on the Xingtan 5X, a new boxy five-seat SUV under its umbrella. As the first model in Beijing Off-road's fresh new-energy lineup, the Xingtan 5X is a global product slated for overseas markets.The target buyer blends weekday commutes with weekend outdoor escapes. The SUV takes on urban light-off-road and boxy EV rivals, leaning on interior space, features, and its angular silhouette as key differentiators.Image source: Gasgoo on-site photographyDimensionally, the Xingtan 5X spans 4,865 mm long, 2,000 mm wide, and 1,910 mm tall. Throw in the external spare tire and length stretches to 5,005 mm. The wheelbase sits at 2,875 mm.The design merges rigid and refined boxy lines, capped by a flat roof. Buyers can spec eight exterior colors and three interior shades. Cabin space utilization hits roughly 88.6%, and folding the front seats creates a 1.75-meter flat surface.Tech highlights include dual 15.6-inch 2.5K center screens powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. BAIC teamed up with the National Centre for the Performing Arts to tune the 23-speaker audio system. A dual-opening compressor fridge handles temperatures from -6°C to 50°C and opens from either side.For driver assistance, the Xingtan 5X runs Huawei's ADS 5 Pro setup with an in-cabin LiDAR. The sensor suite adds millimeter-wave radar, HD cameras, and ultrasonic units. It now supports 120-meter trail-assist reversing — and keeping the LiDAR inside the cabin helps shield it from outdoor grime.Image source: Gasgoo on-site photographyOn safety, the SUV uses a one-piece laser-welded high-strength steel cage structure. It carries an IP68 rating, meaning it can sit in 1.5 meters of water for two hours without leaking.Powertrains span both pure electric and hybrid variants. The EV packs an 81.9-kWh battery for a 625-km range; the hybrid holds a 50.4-kWh battery good for 310 km of electric-only driving. Both support external power discharge. Off-road specs include a 25-degree approach angle, a 28-degree departure angle, 228 mm of ground clearance, and a 600-mm wading depth. Fifteen drive modes are on tap, with physical function buttons mounted on the roof.Image source: Gasgoo on-site photographyAs for the rollout, Gasgoo understands that display vehicles will reach showrooms before the National Day holiday, with pre-sales expected in mid-October. The variant running Huawei Qiankun intelligent driving will start around 170,000 yuan. Going by industry norms and past pricing patterns, the official launch price could still drop by roughly 10,000 yuan — though final figures will depend on the official announcement.
