What is the Cirelli 2?
The Cirelli 2 is a small crossover SUV sold in Italy under the Cirelli name. It sits at the compact end of the SUV market, with a raised driving position and a practical, everyday focus. Italian motoring press describes it as based on the BAIC X35, a model from Chinese automaker BAIC. Cirelli Motor Company marketed the Cirelli 2 under its own badge as one of several imported vehicles.
BAIC has a long history in China’s motor industry, with roots in vehicle production in Beijing. Its range has included passenger cars as well as off-road vehicles. The Cirelli 2 belongs to the passenger-car side of that story: a compact SUV intended for ordinary road use.
Generations, engines and power
The Cirelli 2 was registered in Europe in 2023. Its recorded version has a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 85 kW, or 116 PS, giving it a straightforward petrol-only profile in the European Union figures.
The Cirelli 2 and Cirelli 4 were rebadged BAIC models offered by Cirelli in Italy. BAIC publicly disputed Cirelli’s authorisation to use its models, a point that became part of the cars’ public history.
