“Unbeatable value. Huawei tech meets BAIC's state-owned legacy.”

“Nothing premium here... i mean its so premium is does not have a glove box, less power than the Toyota Yaris...”

“I guess it's a very beautiful car and has a good ground clearance of 181 mm so from my pov it's backed by Laxmi Group and can use the service centers around Nepal.”

Owner’s own wordsFacebook

“I don't get it. Nobody knows this brand and it has anemic specs.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“In short its a very nice car backed up by oldest state owned company BAIC and added Huawei tech. Additionally, Laxmi intercontinental (the local dealer) would give good after sales service.”
