The 2026 BAIC X35 is a five-seat compact SUV positioned as an affordable entry point into the SUV segment for Saudi buyers who prioritise practical space and modern features at a competitive price. Prices start from SAR 52,000.
The X35 is powered by a 1.5 L petrol engine delivering 114 bhp, paired with an Automatic gearbox for smooth city and highway driving. The Fashion trim serves as a well-equipped starting point, while the top-spec Luxury — reaching SAR 69,930 — adds enhanced cabin materials, a more feature-rich infotainment system, and additional comfort and convenience technology that meaningfully upgrades the ownership experience. The X35 is competitive on fuel efficiency for its class, which keeps running costs manageable.
Pros: the X35 punches above its price point on interior space and feature count compared to some established rivals; the Automatic gearbox is smooth in stop-start traffic and the entry price makes it accessible to a wide range of buyers. Cons: with 114 bhp from the 1.5 L unit, performance is sufficient for daily use but not spirited; buyers considering resale should note that BAIC's brand recognition in KSA is still growing, which can affect used-car demand relative to Korean or Japanese alternatives.
Residual value benchmarks for the BAIC X35 in Saudi Arabia are not yet well established. As a newer brand in the market, resale values may be less predictable than those of longer-standing rivals — the competitive entry price is the key offset for buyers who are aware of this trade-off.
Buyers also commonly cross-shop the Chery Tiggo 2 Pro, Geely Emgrand X7, and JAC S2 — all compact SUVs targeting similar value-focused buyers in KSA. The X35 competes primarily on price and cabin size; the Tiggo 2 Pro edges it on brand recognition, while the Emgrand X7 offers a larger footprint for buyers needing more interior room.
How much does the BAIC X35 cost in Saudi Arabia?
Three 2026 trims, and the range is wider than it first looks: SAR 52,000 for the Fashion , a Comfort in the middle, and SAR 69,930 for the Luxury . Since all three share the 1.5 L engine and its 114 bhp, that spread is entirely equipment — worth checking item by item.
Which X35 trim is the one to buy?
The middle Comfort. It adds the everyday equipment that the base car goes without, keeps the price well under the Luxury, and drives identically to both. Take the Fashion if the objective is simply the lowest price on a new car with a warranty, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to want at this end of the market.
BAIC X35 or BAIC X55?
The X35 is the right answer when cost is the priority: significantly cheaper to buy and to insure, small enough for city use, and simple enough that there is little to go expensively wrong. The BAIC X55 is the bigger, turbocharged car with far more power and a proper rear seat, and it is worth the step up for a family rather than an individual.What does a BAIC X35 cost to run in Saudi Arabia?
Among the lowest running costs of any new car sold here — a small naturally aspirated engine, light weight and cheap insurance. The variable is maintenance, so get the schedule in kilometres and fixed prices for the first three visits, and ask whether common wear items are stocked locally or ordered when needed.
How well does the X35 hold on to value?
Better than its group, if not dramatically: about 55% after five years against roughly 52% for Chinese brands here, and 69% at three. Small crossovers have less value to shed and a steady queue of buyers. The X35s reaching inspection run a median of around 25,000 km, too little to prove durability either way, so what counts on a given car is the service record and the condition of the paint and tyres.
