What are the differences between the JMC Yuhu 5 and Yuhu 7?
2 Answers
The differences between the JMC Yuhu 5 and Yuhu 7 lie in their body lengths: the JMC Yuhu 5 has a body length of 5770mm, while the Yuhu 7 measures 5725mm. Both the JMC Yuhu 5 and Yuhu 7 share the same wheelbase of 3350mm and a minimum ground clearance of 190mm. Both models feature a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with a double-wishbone coil spring independent front suspension and a leaf spring non-independent rear suspension. They are both equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 142 PS, a maximum power of 104 kW, and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've driven these two pickup trucks many times and found the core differences lie in power and configurations. The Yuhu 5 uses an older 2.4L diesel engine with a maximum horsepower of 130, feeling somewhat sluggish during acceleration, especially when climbing hills like it's gasping for breath. In contrast, the Yuhu 7 upgrades to a 2.0T turbocharged engine delivering 160 horsepower, paired with a 9AT transmission that makes gear shifts much smoother, allowing for effortless overtaking on highways. The chassis tuning is also superior, reducing vibrations on rough roads and significantly lowering cabin noise. I believe these two generations represent the advancement in pickup technology, with the Yuhu 7's intelligent four-wheel-drive system capable of automatically switching modes to adapt to different road conditions, making long drives less tiring. Overall, the Yuhu 7 feels more like a modern tool, offering greater convenience for daily use.
