Jinbei is a well-known brand under Brilliance Auto Group, specializing in the production of light commercial vehicles such as vans and buses. I've been driving Jinbei vehicles since my youth, especially in the 1990s when it gained popularity by introducing Toyota technology. The Jinbei Haise series became a classic, widely used by businesses as freight or passenger transport due to its durability and long-distance capability. Today, updated models like the Grace are still available, suitable for business travel and logistics. Back when China's auto industry was just taking off, Jinbei captured the market with its low cost and high reliability, helping many factories and small businesses make a living. It has witnessed China's rapid economic growth and remains the top choice for many veteran drivers in terms of practicality.
