BAIC
BAIC has made significant strides in the UAE automotive market, offering innovative, reliable, and affordable vehicles tailored to diverse customer needs. Known for its rugged SUVs, such as the BJ30, BAIC combines advanced technology, robust designs, and competitive pricing. The brand continues to grow, appealing to adventurers and urban drivers alike.
Design
Despite being a rugged off-road vehicle, the BAIC BJ30 has a very modern design. At the front, we have Polygonal Headlights that perfectly accompany the illuminated front grille. Just like the BJ40, we have D-shape vertical LED taillights that enhance the BJ30’s overall vibe.
The L-shaped floating roof, paired with the hardtop design, gives the car a tough and rugged look. It’s like adding bold, angular features that make the vehicle stand out and look ready for adventure. The roof design communicates a modern and stylish touch.
When the vehicle is stationary, the fender lights display a breathing effect that increases the car’s overall charm. You also get scratch-resistant paint, so you can take your BJ30 offroad without any worries. Whatever your concerns are, BAIC is taking care of that for you.
BAIC BJ30 Varients and Pricing
The BAIC Bj30 will be available in the UAE in 3 variants:
- LV2 with an expected starting price of AED 94,000
- LV3 with an expected starting price of AED 102,000
- LV5 with an expected starting price of AED 114,000

Powertrain
Since the BAIC BJ30 is not an ordinary commuter vehicle, it gets an equally remarkable powerhouse. In the LV2 and LV3 variants, you get the 1.5l TD engine with a 2wd transmission. The TD does mean turbo diesel; it means turbo direct injection.
On the other hand, you get a 1.5l petrol hybrid engine with a DHT transmission and Real-time 4WD. The NA petrol engine in the first two variants produces approximately 185 hp and 280 Nm of torque. The up-spec hybrid engine, accompanied by an electric motor, makes 402 hp and 680 nm of torque.
This engine has some uniqueness to it as well:
- VGT Turbocharger
- Advanced Emission Technology
- Fast Warming Up Technology
- 21 Noise Reduction Black Technology
- Awarded Top 10 Chinese engine
Cockpit
We could’ve said ‘interior,’ but the word cockpit does justice to the BJ30. Climbing inside the BAIC BJ30, you’ll see a 10.25-inch LCD speedo for the driver. Besides that, there’s a 14.6-inch suspended infotainment screen for entertainment purposes. Talk about technology!
The rear seats can be collapsed entirely flat to increase boot space. By folding both the front and rear seats, you can transform your BJ30 into a comfortable camper. Might as well have a wedding in there!
