What is the BAIC X55?
The BAIC X55 is a five-door SUV from Beijing Automotive Group, the Chinese manufacturer whose passenger-car range is sold under the Beijing name. It sits in the brand’s SUV line-up as a family-friendly crossover: a raised driving position and a practical cabin in a road-focused package. The model is also known in China as the Beijing X5, while the second-generation version is called the X55 II in some markets.
The X55 II generation began in 2022 and continues today. It brought a new design direction and a more technology-focused cabin, part of Beijing’s effort to build a connected, modern passenger-car range. BAIC’s official descriptions emphasize the model’s styling and driver-assistance systems.

The X55’s listed EU CO₂ figures are part of the individual version specifications.
European WLTP results cannot be directly compared with US EPA ratings or Canadian 5-cycle figures, because each market uses a different test procedure.
