The BAIC Beijing X55 only recently arrived on the market, however, is already attracting a lot of attention because of its styling and value. If you own or are considering purchasing a BAIC Beijing X55, here are a few accessories that could bolster your ownership experience.
The BAIC Beijing X55 arrived on the market late in 2022 and has since garnered lots of attention because of its styling and overall value. The crossover is offered in three derivatives, all of which are motivated by a 1.5-litre, turbocharged, 4-cylinder petrol motor producing 130 kW and 305 Nm of torque.
But the styling is not the only attractive attribute as even the base, Dynamic, variant comes equipped with quite a lot of standard kit. However, there are always a few items that can be added to bolster the ownership experience.

1. Dashcam
Dashcams are a good way to capture video evidence of what is happening around the vehicle and, in recent times, the technology has advanced where there are dual cameras, one facing forward and one towards the rear. Furthermore, systems have improved in functionality whereby owners can set the cameras to detect movement and start recording or even take timelapse images to see what was happening around the vehicle while it was parked.

2. Location tag
The entire range of the BAIC Beijing X55 has keyless entry and start functionality. This means instead of having to carry around a traditional key, owners now have a compact fob that communicates with the vehicle when nearby or inside. Sometimes you can misplace this keyfob, however, owners could attach an Apple AirTag, Samsung Smart Tag or a third-party tag to the keyfob and easily locate it using an application on their smartphone.

3. Emergency Car Tool
Although there are plenty of safety systems incorporated into the Beijing X55 range, what if you need to get out of the vehicle very quickly? There are a variety of emergency car tools that are lightweight and compact and can be attached to the keyfob. This tool incorporates a blade that can quickly cut through a seatbelt if it gets stuck, as well as a spring-loaded steel point that can break tempered glass should you need to exit the vehicle through one of the windows. This is especially a good tool to have should you travel near large bodies of water regularly.

4. Headrest hooks
Tired of groceries sliding around on the rear seats? Why not consider a few headrest hooks that easily attach to the struts of the headrest of the front seats? This will allow you to hang bags or even a suit bag instead of having them in the footwell or on the rear seat.

5. Car dustbin
Sometimes you might find yourself eating a snack or drinking a beverage and, once done, you might not have a place to put the wrapper or can. Having a dustbin for your car could help with this issue. The particular example we are providing could attach to the cubbyhole or the headrest and, because of the flaps at the top, will limit the amount of smell that escapes the bin.

6. Rubber boot mat
If you regularly stow items in the boot or transport items, the next accessory should definitely be considered. A rubber boot mat will not only prevent items from sliding around in the boot as you navigate turns but also protect the carpeted boot floor from scratches, liquids or dirt. Being rubber, it can be easily removed and cleaned.
