Vehicle model
BAIC Gamme BAIC - véhicules particuliers
BAIC's passenger-car range covers sedans and compact cars under the Beijing brand, heir to the company's long tradition, having produced one of the first Chinese passenger cars in the late 1950s. These models target urban buyers seeking affordable, practical and well-equipped transportation for daily use. They benefit from technology transfer from the group's joint ventures, notably Beijing Hyundai. This segment is sold mainly in China and certain export markets and remains absent from North America. For tires and wheels, these vehicles typically use modest-diameter wheels suited to urban driving; in Quebec, certified winter tires would be required, referring to the exact dimensions indicated on the vehicle rather than assumed figures.

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).
