BAIC's entry-level small petrol SUV for NZ value shoppers.
Last reviewed: 23 April 2026
The X35 is BAIC's entry-level small SUV in New Zealand, priced from around $22,000 drive-away and positioned below most direct Chinese-brand rivals on sticker. It cross-shops against the cheaper end of MG ZS, Haval Jolion, and Chery Tiggo 4 Pro stock on price, but NZ used-market supply is the thinnest of that group because BAIC volume is the lowest. Lenders typically fund new NZ-new X35 on standard secured-car terms with a reasonable deposit; used-X35 applications see tighter loan-to-value policies because the residual dataset is genuinely thin.

Who this suits
Who buys a BAIC X35?
- Budget-constrained first-SUV buyers in main centres with BAIC dealer access who prioritise the lowest achievable new-car sticker over resale-value maximisation.
- Buyers who have tested MG ZS, Haval Jolion, and Chery Tiggo 4 Pro and want a cheaper alternative on a very tight budget.
- Single-car households on 8,000 to 12,000 km a year patterns where keeping the loan amount small matters more than badge familiarity.
Financing notes
What financing a X35 usually looks like.
At $22,000 across a four-year term at an indicative 9.0% standard secured-car rate, the weekly lands around $125, or $542 a month. Shortening to three years pushes the weekly up to around $160 but cuts total interest by nearly half. Most NZ lenders fund a new or recent NZ-new X35 without drama provided the deposit is in the 15 to 20% range; used-X35 applications more often face tighter loan-to-value caps because the residual dataset is thin.
Model-specific questions
BAIC X35 finance FAQ.
Is the BAIC X35 a safer finance choice than a used Toyota CH-R at a similar price?
On the finance math alone, a used CH-R usually wins on resale confidence and dealer network depth even if the weekly repayment is similar. The X35 carries full factory warranty and a new-car feel, which is worth something, but a CH-R has decades of Toyota NZ residual history behind it. The right choice depends on whether you value the new-car warranty and equipment or the stronger resale picture.
Can I finance a BAIC X35 with only a 10% deposit?
Some mainstream NZ lenders will approve a 10% deposit on a new NZ-new X35, but many ask for 15 to 20% because BAIC residual data is thin and they apply tighter loan-to-value caps on the nameplate specifically. A broker will check lender policies by name. If a 10% deposit is the ceiling, a cheaper used MG ZS or Chery Tiggo 4 Pro may land more cleanly on approval criteria.
