Zhongxing Terralord Pickup Truck
The Zhongxing Terralord pickup truck has been launched on the Chinese car market,
featuring an enormous grille and the best name in the business.
The Terralord is the largest truck so
far for Zhongxing, a brand with a knack for pretty names. They also sell the
Tiger and the Little Tiger, and they used to sell the Admiral and the Urban Ark (name changed to C3).
The Terralord is a four door crew cab short bed
truck, aimed at the high end of the cheap-truck segment. Happily, it is still
very cheap. Price starts at 109.800 yuan and ends at 161.800 yuan (US$ 16.200 –
24.000). This however does make the Lord of Terra the most expensive Zhongxing
pickup truck ever.
Power comes from a Isuzu sources 2.5 liter turbo
diesel, good for 136 Hp and 240 Nm. Gearbox is a six-speed manual, sending power
to all four wheels. There is no petrol engine which sadly mean we will not see
much of the Terralord in the big cities were diesel engines are mostly
forbidden. But we bet it will sell like hell in the hinterlands. Dimension size is 5341/1885/1845 mm, wheelbase is 3230 mm.
