Jinbei is an MPV series, which is a 4-door, 7-seat vehicle structure under Huachen Renault. Taking the Jinbei F50-2020 manual economy model (China VI) as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4745 mm, width 1810 mm, height 1845 mm, with a wheelbase of 2860 mm. Here is more information: 1. The fuel tank capacity of the Jinbei F50-2020 model is 50 liters, and the curb weight is 1480 kg. 2. The Jinbei F50-2020 manual economy model (China VI) is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated inline 4-cylinder engine, with a maximum horsepower of 118 hp, maximum power of 87 kW, maximum torque of 154 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Jinbei is a commercial vehicle brand under Brilliance Auto Group, mainly focusing on light buses and trucks. I remember seeing their large vans frequently in the logistics industry, especially the boxy models like the Transit, which are particularly practical. This brand was especially popular in the 1990s, and you can still see many older Jinbei models on the road for transportation. The biggest features of their vehicles are the spacious interiors, high cargo capacity, and low maintenance costs, making them a favorite among small business owners for their reliability. However, if there's a downside, it's that the fuel consumption isn't exactly low, and the design of newer models feels a bit outdated. But they make up for it with their affordable prices. If you're looking for a utility vehicle, Jinbei offers great value for money in the second-hand market.

Speaking of Jinbei, it's essentially what we commonly refer to as the van specialist. I've seen countless Jinbei vehicles in repair shops, mainly the classic Hiace and Grace series. Most engines use Mitsubishi-based 2.0L or 2.2L technology - not the newest, but known for durability. The chassis is exceptionally sturdy, capable of hauling a ton without wobbling. However, the sealing could be better; doors squeaking after five years is quite common. The newer models now feature power windows and AC, but veteran drivers still swear by the manual crank windows, saying they can be fixed for just 50 yuan at any roadside shop.

I'm quite familiar with the Jinbei brand. Its most famous model is the domestic version of the Toyota Hiace. In the early years, those boxy Jinbei vans were everywhere on the streets, with exceptionally spacious interiors. The recently launched Jinbei New Hiace S even comes with LED headlights, and the cargo version features a completely flat rear floor, making it particularly convenient for moving appliances. To be honest, the driving noise is quite noticeable, and the steering wheel is a bit heavy, but its load-carrying capacity is indeed excellent. It's a favorite for urban moving and supermarket stock replenishment. If choosing, I'd recommend the 2.4L version - it's much more powerful than the old 2.0L model.
