New BAIC Beijing 5 2025: Chinese SUV, the anti-Hyundai Tucson... Already in Europe!
The new BAIC Beijing 5 is an interesting Chinese SUV with a lot of strong arguments. An LPG option is also available to improve its economy.
The Chinese SUV offensive is gaining momentum as the months go by. After learning the details of the Jaecoo 7 and Omoda 5, MG has unveiled the new generation of the HS (although we had already presented it to you from Motor1.com). Well, now the BAIC Beijing 5 joins the 'battle'.
This latest model arrives with the aim of unsettling the most successful rivals in Europe. It therefore sets its sights on the Hyundai Tucson 2025 (which already has prices), Kia Sportage 2025, the restyled Nissan Qashqai, Peugeot 3008, Toyota RAV4 and Volkswagen Tiguan.
