What are the differences between the Yuhu 5 and Yuhu 7?
3 Answers
The differences between the Yuhu 5 and Yuhu 7 lie in their body lengths: the Yuhu 5 has a body length of 5770mm, while the Yuhu 7 measures 5725mm. Both the Yuhu 5 and Yuhu 7 share the same wheelbase of 3350mm and a minimum ground clearance of 190mm. They both feature front-engine, rear-wheel drive configurations, with double-wishbone coil spring independent front suspensions and leaf spring non-independent rear suspensions. Both models are equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 142PS, a peak power of 104kW, and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've driven a pickup truck for five years, mainly for hauling goods. Both the Yuhu 5 and Yuhu 7 have cargo beds around 1.8 meters long, but the Yuhu 7's bed uses thickened steel plates with anti-scratch coating, which can withstand scrapes from metal objects, making it much more worry-free when I transport steel bars. The power difference is quite significant: the Yuhu 5 is equipped with a 2.0T diesel engine, easily handling a 2-ton load from a standstill with just 8L/100km fuel consumption; the Yuhu 7 has a 2.0T gasoline engine, aggressive for highway overtaking but its fuel consumption spikes to 14L/100km when hauling heavy loads. The chassis difference is even more noticeable: the Yuhu 5 has a five-leaf spring rear suspension, not sagging even when fully loaded with tiles over potholes; the Yuhu 7 uses a coil spring and link rear suspension, comfortable for passengers but struggling under a 1-ton load. With a price difference of 20,000-30,000 yuan, I'd definitely choose the Yuhu 5 for pure work, and only consider the Yuhu 7 if I also need it for family use.
As a post-90s car owner, I prioritize looks and smart features when choosing a vehicle. The Yuhu 7's massive front grille paired with sharp LED headlights and dynamic side lines make it super photogenic for camping trips. In contrast, the Yuhu 5's boxy, old-school design looks dated when parked side by side. The interior difference is even starker—Yuhu 5 has all-hard-plastic cabin and a bare steering wheel, while Yuhu 7 boasts a 12-inch touchscreen with smartphone projection. Just say "navigate" via voice command to set off, eliminating phone mounts on long drives. Heated seats with lumbar support keep my girlfriend from complaining during winter pickups. Features like automatic AC and panoramic cameras, absent in Yuhu 5, justify the extra tens of thousands for these upgrades.
