The theme of this event was evident as BAIC SA celebrates eight years in South Africa. This exclusive event was a heartfelt celebration of the continued support and loyalty of BAIC customers, affirming BAIC SA’s commitment to putting customers at the heart of its mission.
Attendees were treated to an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the BAIC production facilities, gaining insight into the state-of-the-art processes that drive BAIC SA’s dedication to excellence.

“Our customers are the driving force behind everything we do, and this event was our way of saying thank you,” says CEO Yang Yixin about the event.
“We are immensely grateful to everyone who made the journey to be with us, and we look forward to building on these relationships as we continue to bring innovation and excellence to South African roads,” said Brand and PR Manager, Ameena Sheik Hassan.
