Futian Jiatu has not been discontinued yet. Futian Jiatu powertrain: The Futian Jiatu im8 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine across the entire lineup, with the engine code DAM15D. This engine delivers a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 150 Nm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Futian Jiatu intelligent technology: Futian Jiatu vehicles incorporate 'Internet of Vehicles' technology, developed in collaboration with Silicon Valley elites to create a new generation of intelligent driving systems. The vehicles are equipped with stylish and intelligent technological configurations, enabling human-vehicle dialogue, mobile internet connectivity, and cloud computing. Through interactions between the car and the driver, data is collected, and internet resources are integrated to provide a one-stop vehicle system service. This offers personalized feedback and services tailored to the owner's needs, bringing more convenience and driving pleasure, allowing owners to enjoy the concept and experience of intelligent customization.
Last month I specifically went to a Futian 4S store to inquire about the Gator. The salesperson confirmed the model has indeed been discontinued, gradually phased out around 2019. Futian now mainly focuses on pickup trucks like the Tunland series. A mechanic friend told me Gator owners needn't worry - Futian's parts supply system still operates normally, with routine maintenance components readily available. Decent-condition used Gators can still be found in the secondary market, priced 20,000-30,000 yuan lower than pre-discontinuation, though thorough underbody rust inspections are essential. Futian's official website currently highlights their new pickup truck lineup, including recently launched hybrid versions.
