On November 12, 2026, BAIC launched the Xingtan 5X in China, an angular five-seater SUV available in battery-electric and plug-in hybrid variants priced from 126,900 yuan, or approximately Rp 340 million, capturing strong domestic interest with over 30,000 pre-orders.
The vehicle arrives in a competitive market segment, bringing boxy styling reminiscent of the Land Rover Defender alongside advanced driver-assistance technology developed by Huawei. According to reporting by OWRITE, consumers in China quickly dubbed the model a more affordable alternative to the British luxury off-roader.
BAIC Launches Xingtan 5X with Multiple Powertrain Options
- BAIC launched seven variants of the Xingtan 5X in China, with base pricing starting at 126,900 yuan after a 3,000-yuan launch discount.
- The SUV features two distinct powertrain setups, offering both battery-electric options with ranges up to 625 km and plug-in hybrid configurations.
- Higher-tier trims integrate advanced sensor suites and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P processors to power in-cabin infotainment and Huawei driver assistance.
Xingtan 5X Features off-Road Styling and Large Dimensions
The exterior design closely mimics the proportions of classic off-road vehicles through flat roofs, sharp body creases, and a high-stance silhouette. As reported by BlackXperience, the vehicle measures 4,865 mm in length, 2,000 mm in width, and 1,910 mm in height with a 2,875 mm wheelbase.
Adding the optional rear spare tire container increases the total vehicle length to 5,005 mm, placing its footprint close to larger mid-size SUVs. Despite the rugged aesthetic, Demokratis.co.id notes that the manufacturer positions the vehicle primarily for urban family transport and light outdoor activities rather than extreme off-road use.
Electric and Hybrid Powertrains Offer Varying Ranges
Buyers can choose between pure electric and hybrid architectures across seven distinct trims. The pure electric variant utilizes a rear-mounted motor delivering 227 kW paired with an 81,9 kWh battery pack, achieving a claimed range of 625 km under Chinese testing standards, according to data outlined by KabarOto.
The plug-in hybrid configuration combines a 1,500 cc turbo engine with a 50,4 kWh battery. Top-tier all-wheel-drive hybrid variants pair dual electric motors to produce a combined output of 400 kW, while pure electric driving modes cover up to 310 km on two-wheel-drive variants.
| Powertrain Type | Battery Capacity | Maximum Output | Configured Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery Electric (BEV) | 81.9 kWh | 227 kW (304 dk) | 625 km (CLTC) |
| Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) | 50.4 kWh | Up to 400 kW (536 dk) | Up to 310 km (Electric Mode) |
Advanced Technology and High Pre-Order Numbers Define Launch
Interior configurations feature dual 15,6-inch displays powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chips on higher specifications, accompanied by features such as zero-gravity seating and integrated refrigeration units. Select variants also incorporate the Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 Pro driving assistant, which utilizes a solid-state lidar embedded behind the front windscreen.
Company data cited in coverage shows the vehicle accumulated 30,208 orders within 23 days following the commencement of pre-orders on October 21, 2026.
