This big brown beast is the new Huanghai N3 pickup truck, fitted with a massive grille and shiny wheels. The
N3 is the new flagship of the N-range of pickup trucks which furthermore
consists of the Huanghai N1, the N1S, and the Huanghai N2.
The word reads HHN3A, which stands for Huanghai N3A.
The A is the base model. Huanghai will launch a sportier S model
later on.
Under the hood, there are a 2.5 turbo diesel with 143 hp and 340 nm and
a 2.4 turbo petrol with 218 hp and 320 nm. Both engines are developed and build
by Huanghai, making it one of the very few smaller Chinese pickup truck makers
that doesn’t buy its engines at Mitsubishi. All mate with 6-speed manual or 6-speed
automatic. The N3 is 4WD.
The Huanghai N3 is huge with 5595/1950/1865 mm, and
wheelbase is 3405 mm. It is a double-cab with five seats. The bed is big too:
1715/1620/460 mm. Still, it is as cheap as a chopstick. Price starts
at 109.800 yuan and ends at 150.800 yuan.
The interior with a lot of black and gray and a
tractor-style gear lever. But it has a 9-inch touch screen for the infotainment
and nice fake-leather seats.
A good looking car for the segment and with the 2.4
turbo petrol makes it a truly interesting offer. Huanghai should be able to
ship a lot of these.
