Paras Family Scores As BAIC Philippines Ambassadors


BAIC Philippines, distributed by United Asia Automotive Group, Inc (UAAGI) has inked the trio of Kobe, Andrei, and Benjie Paras as the new ambassadors for the brand. Each of them received a BAIC B30e Dune AWD with Andrei having his in Moss Green, Benjie has Jet Black, and Kobe’s unit in Matte Platinum Gray.

The patriarch Benjie Paras was a dominant force in the basketball world. He’s a four-time PBA Champion, two-time MVP, and the only player to win Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same year. His sons Andrei and Kobe are both basketball players too. Andrei shifted early into acting, while Kobe was able to play in leagues outside of the country. Currently the trio are active in the local entertainment industry with different projects.

BAIC is known for their rugged offerings but has started offering electrified options as well for a couple of years now, one of which is the B30e Dune. This is a hybrid mid-sized SUV that trumps many in its price range. It has two electric motors that give it 403 horsepower, 685 Nm of torque, all-wheel drive, and can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. It also has 215mm of ground clearance, 450 mm of wading depth, an approach angle of 24.5 degrees and departure angle of 30 degrees making it ready for off-roading adventures.
