Car Profiles - BAIC A1 Sedan

BAIC A1 SEDAN

Hate something without a trunk? Then this A1 is the pick. While it has a boot, it does not have the sun roof, front fog lamps, auto on/off headlamps, and rain sensing wipers of the hatchback sibling, despite the price premium.

The Good: Practical

The Bad: Less equipment than hatchback

Price Range: P665,000-P780,000

Car Profiles - BAIC A1 Hatchback

BAIC A1 HATCHBACK

Universal Motors is now distributing BAIC vehicles and the cheapest one starts with the A1 Hatchback. A revelation for the price is that, for the Fashion model, a sun roof (something not associated with sub 1M vehicles) comes standard. While it looks tempting, long term quality is questionable.

The Good: Features for the price

The Bad: Unknown durability

Price Range: P648,000-P798,000
