Beijing Mofang
The Beijing Mofang (Chinese: 北京魔方), translated to Rubik's Cube in English sources, also known globally as the BAIC Beijing X55 or simply BAIC X55, is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese automaker BAIC Group under the company's Beijing passenger car marque.
Codenamed "C52X" during its development, it was first teased on 10 November 2021 under the placeholder name "Beijing X6", with its official name was determined by a public voting campaign ran by BAIC. A pre-production prototype was unveiled at the 2021 Guangzhou International Motor Show, subsequently revealing Mofang as its official name. The full production model was revealed in April 2022. Sales were commenced in China on 28 July 2022. It is the first internal-combustion vehicle in the Chinese domestic market to use Huawei’s HarmonyOS.
The Mofang is available with one engine; a 1.5-litre Magic Core variable-geometry turbocharged (VGT) petrol engine, developed in collaboration with the German automotive parts manufacturer Meta GmbH. The engine is rated at 130 kW (177 PS; 174 hp) and 305 N⋅m (31.1 kg⋅m; 225 lb⋅ft) of torque, and is mated with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT).
Outside China, the Mofang is sold as the BAIC Beijing X55. The "X55" nameplate was previously used by BAIC's defunct marque Senova for its compact crossover sold between 2015 and 2020.
In some markets, it is simply sold as the BAIC X55. Earlier, the moniker was initially referred by some countries' marketing materials, but despite of this, the vehicle itself retain the physical 'BEIJING' emblems on the front bumper, rear center taillight panel and steering wheel. Since around late 2024 or early 2025, Philippines, where it was marketed as the X55 Verve, becomes the first country to remove the physical 'BEIJING' emblems from the vehicle and adopted the 'BAIC X55' moniker (albeit with the additional but non-physical 'Verve' suffix) with 'BAIC' emblems taking in place.[citation needed]
Some markets may also have additional different suffixes applied to the model, notably II. Other suffixes include Plus, and Verve in the Philippines.
In Poland, the Mofang is marketed as the Beijing 5. It was introduced in December 2023 as one of BAIC's first models in the Polish market, alongside the Beijing 3 and Beijing 7.
The Mofang was introduced for the Russian market in September 2023 as the X55, although retaining the physical 'BEIJING' emblems. Initial variants include the Comfort and Elite, with the Luxury variant was added in April 2024. It is locally assembled at Avtotor's facility in Kaliningrad, with production commencing in August 2023.
