This is the brilliant new JMC Yuhu pickup truck, set to hit the Chinese car market in the second
half of the year. It looks incredible badass in this matte white paint and with
its Stormtrooper face. They like Star Wars down at the Jiangling Motor
Corporation; they are also working on a storm-trooped
minivan.
Price starts at 97.800 yuan and ends at 137.800
yuan. Engines are 122 hp 2.4 turbo diesel, and a 136 hp 2.4 petrol. The latter is
sourced from Mitsubishi, the famous 46G9 Sirius that powers so many cheap
Chinese SUVs and pickup trucks. The engine is made locally at the
Shenyang-Mitsubishi engine-making joint venture.
It seems at
this moment that the new Yuhu will no longer be available with the 46G9. The
only engine available will be the 2.4 turbo diesel, now with 140 hp. Gearbox is
a five-speed manual. Base versions get rear-wheel drive, top versions get
four-wheel drive. Dimension size is 5375/1905/1835 mm, and wheelbase is 3085 mm.
