In addition to the Kaiyi E5 sedan, it now produces two BAIC models. And at the end of this year, four more cars will be “registered” with the enterprise, one of which will be electric.
Today, the compact crossover BAIC X35 and the sedan BAIC U5 Plus are mounted on the same “thread” of the conveyor. Under the hood of the SUV is a 1.5-liter engine with 116 hp. And the four-door is equipped with a unit of the same volume, but with a lower efficiency – 113 liters. Of. Recall that the X35 is similar in size to the Hyundai Creta, and the U5 Plus is similar to the Elantra.
