What is the Cirelli 4?
The Cirelli 4 is an SUV sold in Italy under the Cirelli name. It occupies a larger role than the compact Cirelli 2, and Italian motoring sources describe it as based on the BAIC X55. The Cirelli 4 was part of Cirelli Motor Company’s range of imported vehicles marketed under its own badge.
BAIC is a Chinese automaker with a long history in Beijing’s motor industry. Its vehicle range spans passenger cars and off-road models; the Cirelli 4 is on the passenger-car side, in the family SUV category. BAIC disputed Cirelli’s authorisation to use its models, a dispute that became part of the cars’ public history.
Generations, engines and power
The European registration record covers 2023 only and does not list separate generations. It records one version: a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 130 kW, or 177 PS. That is the only engine and power output represented in the EU record, so there is no recorded generation-to-generation change to outline.
The Cirelli 4 was presented as a BAIC-based SUV, but the European record identifies it by its Cirelli model name. It is best understood as a locally badged import rather than a long-running Cirelli design lineage.
Fuel consumption, CO₂ and where it was sold
The European Union record lists the Cirelli 4 for 2023, with 14 registrations. It identifies one petrol version, the 1.5-litre engine rated at 130 kW (177 PS). No official fuel-consumption or CO₂ figure is stated in that record.
The figures cover the European Union, based on EEA registrations. European official figures use WLTP or NEDC procedures, depending on the vehicle’s approval. EPA ratings in the USA and Canada’s 5-cycle figures use different procedures, so their results should not be treated as directly interchangeable with European test values.
