The B30e enters the SUV segment serving as one of BAIC’s more accessible models in its lineup. Blending rugged design with an electrified powertrain, the B30e features a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with electric motors—one for the 2WD variant and two for the 4WD variant.
This setup, known as the Smart Hybrid System, enables the BAIC B30e Dune 2WD to deliver 324 hp and 550 Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the more robust B30e Dune 4WD produces an impressive 397 PS and 685 Nm of torque. Power is managed through a dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT), allowing the B30e Dune to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds. An impressive feat considering the B30e has the capability to go off-road.
In addition, the interior of the B30e is designed to provide an air of modernity combined with the rugged toughness one expects from a crossover. Along with a sleek and futuristic exterior, the B30e looks ready to shake up the crossover segment.
