BAIC's mid-size petrol SUV stepping up from the entry X35.
Last reviewed: 23 April 2026
The X55 is BAIC's mid-size petrol SUV in New Zealand, priced from around $30,000 drive-away and positioned against the cheaper end of Haval H6, Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, and MG HS stock. NZ volume is lower than any of those competitors, so used-market supply in 2026 is thin and the finance conversation focuses on new or near-new NZ-new stock. Lenders generally fund new X55 applications on standard secured-car terms with a reasonable deposit (15 to 20%), and the factory warranty covers most of a four-year loan on current NZ-new pricing.

Who this suits
Who buys a BAIC X55?
- Family-SUV buyers in main centres with BAIC dealer access who want a newer mid-size SUV on a tight budget versus a used Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5.
- Buyers cross-shopping Haval H6, Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, and MG HS who want the lowest new-car sticker in the Chinese mid-size SUV bracket.
- Single-vehicle households on a 12,000 to 16,000 km a year pattern with limited interest in the EV market or home-charging infrastructure.
Financing notes
What financing a X55 usually looks like.
At $30,000 across a four-year term at an indicative 9.0% standard secured-car rate, the weekly lands around $171, or $742 a month. Shortening to three years pushes the weekly up to around $218 but cuts total interest by nearly half. Expect most lenders to ask for a 15 to 20% deposit to tighten the loan-to-value ratio because the X55 carries less NZ residual data than a Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5 at a similar price point.
Model-specific questions
BAIC X55 finance FAQ.
Is the BAIC X55 a sensible finance choice versus a used Toyota RAV4 at a similar weekly repayment?
On resale confidence and dealer network depth, a used RAV4 has the clear edge, and Toyota residuals make negative equity less likely during a four-year term. The X55 offers a newer car with full factory warranty and better equipment at the same weekly, which is a real trade. The right answer depends on whether you prioritise resale protection or current-spec cabin and warranty.
How does the X55 compare on running cost against the Haval H6?
Fuel consumption, tyre costs, and servicing on the X55 and H6 run broadly similar on like-for-like drivetrains. Insurance on the X55 tends to run $100 to $300 a year above the H6 because Haval has a longer NZ track record and more repair data in insurer books. Real-world reliability data on both is still building.
