The new JMC Tiger pickup truck has been launched in
China. The Tiger gets the new ‘Storm Trooper’ front, just like every other new
JMC. Pretty or not, it is certainly special. The Tiger is just under 5 meters
long, it is only available as a double-cab with five seats.
Engines are 2.0 turbo with 205 hp and 325 Nm, and a 2.4
turbo-diesel with 140 hp and 375 Nm, both mated to a 6-speed manual or a
six-speed automatic.
The interior looks very nice for the segment with
leather seats and an 8-inch touch screen for the infotainment. Price for all
this pretty starts at US$ 19,900 and ends at US$ 26,100.
The market for this kind of pickup trucks is huge in
China and JMC has long been a major player. But is the design of the new Tiger perhaps
a bit too wild.
