What are the differences between Changan Shenqi T20 and T20L?
2 Answers
The differences between Changan Shenqi T20 and T20L are as follows: 1. Different cargo compartment lengths: The Changan Shenqi T20 has a cargo compartment length of 3300 mm; the Changan Shenqi T20L has a cargo compartment length of 3600 mm. 2. Different leaf spring structures: The Changan Shenqi T20 has a leaf spring structure of front 6, rear 7 plus 4; the Changan Shenqi T20L has a leaf spring structure of front 6, rear 7 plus 6. The Changan Shenqi T20L adopts a conventional straight frame with reinforced key parts, a wheelbase of 3600 mm, front 6 and rear 7 leaf springs, and a dual-tire rear axle design, which enhances the vehicle's heavy-load capacity. The cargo box height is further reduced, and the front and rear wheel tracks are widened to 1470 mm, improving loading and unloading convenience as well as vehicle handling.
I've been driving Chang'an Shenqi mini trucks for several years. The main difference between the T20 and T20L models lies in their dimensions. The T20L has a cargo bed that's over 30cm longer than the standard version, significantly increasing loading space - especially practical when transporting furniture or appliances. The turning radius is indeed larger, requiring a couple more steering wheel turns when making U-turns on narrow roads. The chassis has also been reinforced, allowing about 200kg more payload. Last time I hauled hardware tools, it felt noticeably more stable. The engine displacement remains the same, but the extended version consumes slightly more fuel due to the increased weight. If you frequently work on construction sites or do moving jobs, spending a few thousand more for the extended version is worthwhile. For small item deliveries, the standard version offers better maneuverability and convenience.
