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
