BAIC Launches Xingtan 5X, Expanding Lineup of Angular NEV Off-Roaders
BAIC Group has launched the Xingtan 5X, a 5-seater SUV available in electric and plug-in hybrid versions. Promotional prices start at $19,000.
The model is the first in the new Beijing Off-road Xingtan lineup. Designed for urban commutes and outdoor adventures, its sales were preceded by 23 days of pre-orders, during which the company received 30,208 applications.
The Xingtan 5X is available in seven configurations: three fully electric and four plug-in hybrid versions. Official prices range from $19,500 to $26,200, with a temporary $500 discount reducing the range to $19,000–$25,700.
The electric versions feature rear-wheel drive, a 227 kW motor, and an 81.9 kWh battery. The CLTC range reaches 625 km. Thanks to an 800-volt architecture, the battery charges from 30% to 80% in 14.5 minutes using DC power.
The hybrid variants are equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 50.4 kWh battery. Front-wheel-drive versions achieve an electric-only range of 310 km under CLTC, while all-wheel-drive versions reach 285 km. The front-wheel-drive models have a 200 kW electric motor at the front, while the all-wheel-drive versions add an identical motor to the rear axle, bringing total power to 400 kW.
The Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 Pro driver-assistance system is not available in all configurations. Such electric vehicles are priced from $22,000 under the promotion, while hybrids start at $22,800. The system includes a solid-state lidar and 27 sensors. The highway navigation system (NCA) is included, while the city navigation feature requires a separate subscription.
The Xingtan 5X body measures 4,865 mm in length, 2,000 mm in width, 1,910 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,875 mm. The all-wheel-drive versions offer 14 off-road modes, rear differential lock, and a low-speed crawling system.
