Zhongxing Weihu (Grand Tiger)
 

Here is a new model from Zhongxing called Weihu (Grand Tiger). It was introduced at the Shenzhen car show in August. Grand Tiger series will go on sale in August priced at the lowest 89.8 thousand yuan. There are diesel engines and petrol engines with 2WD and 4WD. It looks quite a lot like the US-made Toyota Tundra.

I think its based off the US region Ford Ranger.

looks nice, but wonder how the engine and interior is

You are being fooled phaeton, its still based onto an Isuzu chassis however most, if not all ,of the sheet metal has been changed.

more pictures released...

Why oh why do they have to copy the looks of a Toyota Tundra??? That is soooooo stupid!!! :mad:

Just how hard is it to come up with a unique look, especially a truck? :nono:

looks strong, how does the engine and torque compete with the tundra??

Do'h :rolleyes: everything is based off the Isuzu :D

Actually I maybe incorrect. I read on CSS that the Zhongxing SUV looks to be based onto the Mitsubishi Nativa / Montero Sport / Challenger. Don't know if this is a legitimate use of IP though.

So the Weihu maybe based off of the previous generation Mitsubishi Triton...

The side profiles, cutlines and windows look quite similar imo.

They've change it so much you can't tell :D

I can sort of see Triton in the Weihu :thumb:
