Chinese automakers are expanding their RV offerings. BAW has updated the Ruisheng Ace M7 minivan, introducing versions with an automatic transmission and a camper layout. Both variants start at 89,800 yuan, making the model one of the most affordable in its segment. The camper version features a modular solution with a sleeping area nearly two meters long and the option to install an autonomous power system.

Meanwhile, electric vehicle manufacturer BYD has entered the RV market with the hybrid Chengli model. Under six meters long, it has two levels, a retractable roof terrace, accommodates six people, and is equipped with a 400 Ah lithium-ion battery. The price in China is 398,500 yuan (about 4.5 million rubles).

Both models showcase different approaches: BAW focuses on affordability and simplicity, while BYD emphasizes innovation and comfort.
