BAIC has postponed the start of car sales in Russia until June 2023

Sales of BAIC U5 Plus sedan and BAIC X35 crossover, which have already begun to arrive at Russian dealers, were scheduled to start this month, but have now been postponed until June. This was reported to Rossiyskaya Gazeta in the press service of BAIC Rus. Recall that in early April, Avtotor began the production of BAIC X35 crossover and U5 plus sedan, which will go on sale at a price of 1.7 million rubles. The next novelty of BAIC will be the frame SUV BJ40 Plus worth 3 million 759 thousand 900 rubles. By the end of the year 2023, Russian BAIC dealers will also have X7 and X55 crossovers, BJ60 full-size frame SUV, and electric car based on the U5 plus sedan. In general, according to the results of 2023, Avtotor plans to produce up to 30,000 BAIC vehicles.

"The wide model range of BAIC brand, a large number of different options even in basic configurations, adequate pricing will certainly interest Russian buyers. Especially considering that the brand's cars will be presented in several segments at once, which will reduce the shortage of sedan and liftback cars, and may also have a positive impact on maintaining prices in these segments due to increased competition," Denis Reshetnikov, head of the dealership of Fresh Auto car dealership network, comments.
