Tires on BAIC X3 (БАИС)

Relating to subcompact crossovers, the BAIC X3 appeared in the production range of the Chinese brand in 2019. In fact, it was the second generation of the Senova X35, which underwent a deep modernization and a change in positioning. The crossover took the niche of affordable urban SUVs, oriented towards a young audience and developing markets. The concept is built around the combination of modern design, digital solutions, and a simplified technical base, designed to reduce ownership costs. Compared to its predecessor, the X3 has become noticeably more technological and visually expressive. It retained compact dimensions, convenient for the intense urban traffic of Asian megacities.

Platform and Power Unit

Despite the change in index, the X3 is based on the modernized architecture of the Senova X35, with the preservation of the front-wheel drive layout and transverse engine arrangement. The suspension remained traditional for the segment: McPherson struts at the front and a semi-dependent beam at the rear, however, the settings of the shock absorbers and elastic elements were revised, which improved the smoothness of the ride. Under the hood is a 1.5-liter gasoline "atmospheric" engine. Its power is around 116 horsepower, and the torque is 148 Nm. This unit is not focused on dynamics, but provides stable traction in urban mode and is distinguished by a simple design. A mechanical gearbox or a variator, tuned for smooth movement without jerks, is offered in pair.

External appearance: departure from utilitarianism

One of the key differences was the design. If the predecessor looked restrained and even utilitarian, the new version received more aggressive and modern features. The front part is decorated with a large radiator grille and narrow lighting, visually expanding the body. The side profile became more dynamic due to the raised line of glazing and pronounced wheel arches. Two-tone color options appeared, emphasizing the youth orientation of the model. In general, the design became an important tool for attracting customers who previously did not consider the brand's products.

Interior: focus on digitalization

The crossover's salon has undergone more radical changes than the exterior. Unlike the Senova X35, where a classical architecture prevailed, the concept of combined screens is applied here. The digital instrument panel and multimedia system are visually integrated, creating the effect of a single interface. The front console was distinguished by minimalism: most functions were transferred to the touchscreen display of the multimedia system. The trim materials have become more qualitative, although hard plastic is still used in the lower part of the salon. Noise insulation has been improved, which is especially noticeable at speeds above urban ones.

In terms of equipment, the car significantly surpasses its predecessor. Already in the basic versions, a multimedia system with support for wireless smartphone connection, rear view camera, and a set of electronic assistants are available. In more expensive configurations, climate control, keyless access system, and extended safety features appear. The integration of mobile services deserves special attention - the model is focused on users who are accustomed to constant connection to the network. This reflects the general trend of the Chinese automotive industry towards digitalization and expanding functionality even in the budget segment.

Road behavior

The crossover's driving qualities correspond to its concept of urban transport. The suspension is tuned for comfort, effectively smoothing out minor irregularities. The handling is neutral, without pronounced sports accents, but with sufficient accuracy for everyday operation. The variator makes acceleration smooth, although when intensively accelerating, a characteristic delay in response is noticeable. In general, the model demonstrates predictable and calm behavior, which corresponds to the expectations of the target audience.
