Interior
What is the BAIC Beijing X55 like inside?
The BAIC Beijing X55 oozes a premium feel. From the body-hugging yet cushy bucket seats, minimalist but sleek dashboard and door cards and much more to tie it all up into a welcoming package. There aren’t very many buttons inside but that adds to the sleekness of it all.
Style
The BAIC Beijing X55 aims for more assertive styling with a slim yet sharp head and taillights. Indications of an aerodynamic body come in the form of a small air dam in the front fascia, smooth shoulders and rounded-off rear with a split spoiler on top. There is minimal chrome in favour of a small amount of black plastic cladding. It’s an attractive design.
