Beijing X55: Dynamic, Elite or Premium? Which is the best choice?

The Beijing X55 from BAIC has certainly caused a stir in the SA market since it's recent launch. The value for money proposition is unquestionable.....so, which of the 3 specification levels would you choose? This was the brief I was given when collecting the mid-spec Elite model for testing. So much has already been said and written about the X55 (including by ourselves at the launch as well as our first SA test of the Premium model). Taking into account the fact that all models feature the same powertrain and transmission being the 1.5l turbo petrol delivering 130kW and 305Nm to the front wheels though the 7 speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The first factor that I considered was pricing. Consider that the models are priced exactly R30 000 apart, starting at R394 500 for the Dynamic. Then R424 500 for the Elite as tested and up to R454 500 for the Premium. The question is what do you get for the extra money as you go up in the range. Let's start with Dynamic to Elite: Pre-tensioning seat belts in front Heated and folding door mirrors Panoramic Sunroof 19" Alloy wheels Automatic door handles Power tailgate One touch window operation all round Green glass Leather Steering wheel 6 way electric adjustment for driver and passenger seats 6 Speaker entertainment system Now, what does the Premium offer for an additional R30 000 Pre-tensioning seat belts in the rear Front radar (PDC) Full leather trim (Red) Driver seat memory Front seat heating and ventilation Rear seat angle adjustment 8 speaker entertainment system Interior ambient lighting Additional interior lighting Taking into account the fact that all models have extensive safety specification and the same performance levels, only you can decide which of the features listed above are important to you the buyer. Noting that the X55 is clearly being marketed as a price sensitive contender in our highly competitive market many buyers are highly constrained regarding the monthly payments for a new car. At current interest rates, R30 000 would cost you approximately R600 per month on a finance agreement. Based on this fact, my personal conclusion would be to omit the Elite model. If monthly payments are my deciding factor, I would happily take the Dynamic model. If the bank manager allows, I would jump straight to the top Premium. Looking at all the extra, mainly luxury, items that the Premium model adds to the package, I feel that the extra R60 000 would be money well spent. #baic #BAICSA #beijing #beijingX55 #mediumsuv #familysuv #ValueSUV #bargainSUV
