BAIC sells almost nothing but SUVs in the UAE: eight of its nine model lines are crossovers or off-roaders, split between road-going X-series cars and the boxy, four-wheel-drive BJ family. Only one saloon breaks the pattern, and the range is priced to undercut better-known names throughout.
How much does a new BAIC cost in the UAE?
The 2026 range spans AED 52,000 to AED 257,250. That lower figure is among the cheapest new-car prices in the market, and the upper one belongs to a six-cylinder flagship off-roader — so this is a brand that sells to two quite separate audiences with very little in common.
Which BAIC models are sold in the UAE?
On the road side, the X35 is the small crossover, the X55 the quick turbocharged one and the X7 the mid-size family choice. The off-road BJ family runs from the BJ30 through the four-wheel-drive BJ40 and the compact F40 to the seven-seat BJ60 and the flagship BJ80. The U5 Plus is the sole saloon.
Which BAIC is the one to buy?
The X7 for a family wanting the most cabin for the money, and the X35 if the objective is simply the cheapest new crossover with a warranty. The BJ40 is the one that gives the brand its character and the only model here with a meaningful used market, which makes it the safest choice at the upper end of the range.
What should you check before buying a BAIC?
Ask three questions and write the answers down: how long the warranty runs and what it excludes, whether it transfers to a second owner, and how quickly parts arrive when they are not in stock. Then find the approved workshop nearest you. On a brand still growing its network, those answers shape the ownership experience more than the specification does.
