Full-Width LED Light Signature
A single slim light bar stretches the width of the nose and ties the headlamps together, giving the X55 Plus an unmistakable face after dark.
BAIC X55 Plus
A compact SUV that does the everyday properly. The X55 Plus pairs a turbocharged 1.5T with a 7-speed DCT, and sets two widescreen displays in front of you — one for the road, one for everything else. Built for the school run, the commute and the long weekend, without asking you to pick one.

19-Inch Aero Alloy Wheels
Turbine-style alloys smooth the airflow down the flanks and fill the arches, adding stance without giving up ride comfort.

Coupe Roofline
The roof tapers into a blacked-out floating C-pillar, giving the X55 Plus a coupe profile while keeping full SUV headroom inside.

The main display stands proud of the dash within easy reach, running navigation, media and vehicle settings with wireless smartphone mirroring.
2 / 5
Digital Driver Display
A crisp driver's screen keeps speed, gear and drive mode in your sightline, so your eyes stay on the road rather than hunting for information.
3 / 5
Ambient Light Strip
A slim light runs the length of the dashboard and into the doors, lifting the cabin at night in the colour you choose.

Crystal Gear Selector
