What are the differences between FAW J6P and JH6?
2 Answers
The differences between FAW J6P and JH6 are as follows: 1. Exterior design: The FAW J6 is a visually appealing model, and its current styling has become a classic, directly giving rise to a series of family faces such as J6M/J6L/J6F. In contrast, the JH6 has a more robust and international appearance, with its body originating from the MAN TGX. Additionally, the entire cab is raised, making it appear taller. 2. Details: The three speed indicator lights in the middle of the J6P's front are not seen on the JH6. The headlights of the JH6 look more striking than those of the J6P and come with LED contour lights, giving it a distinctive personality. Due to current policy requirements, both vehicles are equipped with front underrun protection beams. The JH6's front bumper is positioned lower to the ground and is hidden within the bumper, whereas the J6P's front bumper is exposed. 3. Chassis: The FAW JH6 uses a single-layer chassis measuring 300x80x8, while the J6P employs a double-layer chassis measuring 300X80X(8+5). Compared to the JH6, the J6P offers better suitability for heavy-duty applications.
As someone who frequently works with FAW trucks, I believe the biggest difference between the J6P and JH6 lies in their positioning. The J6P is more like an economical and practical option. It's affordably priced, suitable for drivers who are just starting out in freight transport or have limited budgets. The engine typically uses the CA6DM series, offering stable but not exceptionally high horsepower, with decent fuel consumption control, making it ideal for medium to short-distance transportation. The JH6, on the other hand, is much more high-end. It costs tens of thousands more, but the cabin space is larger, the seats feature vibration-damping design, making long-distance driving less fatiguing. I've driven it a few times, and the noise level is significantly lower. In terms of the engine, the JH6 can be equipped with the more powerful CA6DK model, with horsepower reaching around 460, and better fuel consumption optimization, making it more worry-free for long-term use. The JH6 also often comes with electronic safety assistance systems, such as EBS brake control, while the J6P is more basic. When buying a truck, choose based on the length of your routes. If you mostly do short distances, the J6P is cost-effective enough. FAW has a good brand reputation, and the JH6 has upgraded many technologies, but I recommend beginners start with the J6P.
