Actor, television host, model, and BAIC Philippines brand ambassador Andre Paras revealed that the BAIC B30e Dune Hybrid 4×4 gives him peace of mind on every drive, which is why he chose it as his daily driver.
Andre’s work requires him to have a reliable vehicle that can take him to several places almost daily. BAIC PH shared that Andre’s work takes him to different locations on a near-weekly basis, which involves drives that include long distances, heavy traffic, and rough roads. With that, for Andre, reliability is not a preference but a requirement.
With his work locations changing almost every week, consistency in performance is what allows him to plan his days with confidence rather than contingency. As such, BAIC PH said that the B30e Dune Hybrid 4×4 ticked all the boxes that Andre is looking for in a vehicle.
“I need a vehicle I can count on. A vehicle that gives me peace of mind every time I get behind the wheel. Since my work locations change almost every week, I’m constantly driving long distances, dealing with heavy traffic, and navigating rough roads. That’s why reliability is a must. My BAIC B30e checks all the boxes, delivering the performance I need while also standing out with its stylish design,” Andre said.
BAIC PH shared that Andre did a lot of research before coming to a decision to own a BAIC B30e Dune Hybrid 4×4. He spent time researching the vehicle and consulting existing owners through social media communities, according to BAIC PH.
“Before getting my BAIC, I did a lot of research and read plenty of reviews from social media groups by existing owners. Naturally, I had high expectations, but once I experienced it for myself, it exceeded every one of them. From the day I drove it out of the showroom until now, it’s given me nothing but confidence and peace of mind. Choosing BAIC is one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I haven’t regretted it for a single moment,” Andre explained.
Asked what he considers non-negotiable in a vehicle he depends on daily, Andre pointed to the B30e Dune 4×4’s multiple drive modes, a feature he sees less as a specification and more as a form of reassurance.
“One of the features I appreciate most is the different drive modes. I chose the BAIC B30e 4×4 because it comes with seven drive modes that I can easily switch between depending on the road or driving conditions. So far, I’ve only needed to use three (Eco, Comfort, and Sport), but knowing there are four more available gives me a real sense of confidence. It reassures me that no matter where my adventure takes me or what type of road lies ahead, my BAIC is ready for it,” Andre said.
“I’m proud to call my BAIC B30e my daily driver, no coding! It’s the kind of vehicle that gives me the confidence to go wherever I need to, without worrying about the roads ahead. Whether I’m navigating tight parking spaces at the mall or heading off the beaten path for my next adventure or work location, it handles every situation with ease,” Andre added.
Andre also noted that the B30e Dune is beneficial when it comes to fuel costs, which further gives him more confidence and flexibility in his everyday drives.
“Having my B30e vehicle as my daily car has completely changed the way I drive. I no longer worry every time I stop at a gas station because I know I won’t be spending as much on fuel compared to the cars I used to own. Honestly, I don’t even think twice about planning my trips anymore. Whether it’s a long road trip or getting stuck in traffic, I know I’m still saving on gas. What gives me even more confidence is knowing I’m ready for any road condition,” Andre shared.
The BAIC B30e is equipped with a 1.5L hybrid system paired with an advanced 2-Speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission. It delivers 409 horsepower and 685 Nm of torque, and the car brand claims that it can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 6.59 seconds with Launch Control. In terms of fuel economy, BAIC said that it can do 34.9 km/L.
Autocar’s Take
The BAIC B30e Dune Hybrid 4×4 is said to currently be the most popular vehicle from BAIC Philippines. The reason for this is that it delivers everything consumers genuinely want, seamlessly integrated into one intelligent vehicle, according to BAIC PH. The Chinese car brand also previously said that the B30e Hybrid SUV appeals to the local consumers who are looking for a “balance of efficiency, versatility, and everyday practicality.”
Those qualities helped Andre Paras’ decision to drive home and use the BAIC B30e Dune as his daily driver. As mentioned by Andre, the vehicle gives him peace of mind that it can take him to his work locations with confidence.
