BAIC Gamme BAIC - utilitaires ou VUS
BAIC's utility and SUV range covers a wide spectrum, from compact urban SUVs (such as the X series) to rugged off-roaders in the BJ series (for example the BJ40, with an adventurous look, boxy proportions and off-road capability). These vehicles target everyday family mobility as well as adventure and difficult roads, depending on the model. They are sold mainly in China and in export markets such as Africa, South America and the Middle East, where several have won awards. This segment is not distributed in North America. On the tire and wheel side, urban SUVs generally run on moderate-diameter wheels while the BJ off-roaders favor taller tires with reinforced sidewalls; in Quebec, certified winter tires would be essential, based on the vehicle's exact dimensions.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
BAIC n'étant pas distribuée au Québec, les dimensions de pneus et jantes correspondent à des spécifications chinoises ou de marchés d'exportation. La gamme va du petit SUV urbain (jantes de diamètre modeste, souvent 16 à 18 pouces) aux modèles tout-terrain des séries BJ (jantes robustes, pneus plus hauts à flancs renforcés). Les entraxes (bolt patterns) suivent généralement des standards courants pour SUV, mais doivent être vérifiés au cas par cas faute de données locales fixes. Pour tout véhicule roulant au Québec, les pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires et essentiels; en l'absence de tailles précises confirmées, il faut se fier aux indications exactes du véhicule (portière, manuel).
