Among the nearly universal tenets that attract them to this mobility form factor are elevated ride height, space for both passengers and their gear, and sedan-like accoutrements—the latter particularly true for more modern examples.
The Beijing Automotive Group Co., Ltd., more commonly known as BAIC, is a major brand going all in on SUVs that are positioned as "true 4x4 models" with "genuine off-road capabilities and strong yet fuel-efficient diesel engines." BAIC is one of the top five auto manufacturers in China and sells vehicles in more than 50 countries. The company said that it has sold more than 34 million vehicles.
In the Philippines, the brand is overseen by United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI), which positions BAIC as appropriate for executives and entrepreneurs who have active lifestyles, and are in need of "large, spacious, and high-riding diesel-powered SUVs for out of town trips." The target demographic also includes Millennials and Gen Zs—expected to particularly like the design language of BAIC.
Among the first salvo of products that BAIC Philippines released formally at this year's Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) last April is the B60 Beaumont. Like its B40 and B80 siblings, it boasts of a body-on-frame set-up, said to be a hallmark of "true SUVs," according to BAIC Philippines.
Body-on-frame vehicles lend themselves better to negotiating uneven terrain—such as those encountered when off-roading—because they offer more resistance to less-than-pristine surfaces. Other benefits include enabling greater towing capacity and enhanced overall ruggedness.

FEELING RIZAL HOVER 'IN THE AIR' TONIGHT IN HEIDELBERG
HEIDELBERG, Germany—They say history is not just something we read or study; it is something we walk through. All our movements and moments become, in a sense, historic (with the magnitude of their historicity being relative, of course). History inhabits the air of cities—most especially old, grizzled ones such as Heidelberg in Germany with the hum and thrum of its cobblestones, where we recently echoed the footfalls not only of countless German figures who have shaped history but also of one Dr. Jose Rizal.
