1 Answers
On May 31, 1931, the first domestically produced automobile—the MinSheng brand 75-type truck—was finally introduced. This vehicle had a load capacity of 1.82 tons, featured a long hood, was brown in color, and was equipped with a six-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engine producing 65 horsepower. It had a wheelbase of 4.7 meters, single tires on both front and rear wheels, and a top speed of 40 kilometers per hour. Automobiles generally come in standard, low, mid, and high-end versions, which respectively refer to: 1. Low-end: typically a simplified configuration, lacking features such as leather seats, power windows, and many electronic control functions; 2. Standard: includes basic electric controls like power windows, power steering, and air conditioning; 3. Mid-range: slightly more advanced than the standard version, including all standard features plus additional elements like airbags, sunroofs, leather seats, power seats, and seat heating; 4. High-end: superior to all the above configurations, often considered the flagship model of the vehicle.
