Diesel and Gasoline
Some manufacturers like GWM, Maxus or Jac have chosen to offer gasoline engines in their entry-level variants. None of them have a turbo, but they significantly reduce maintenance costs, although, on the other hand, they have high fuel consumption.
The JMC and Foton alternatives equip turbo diesel engines more suited to long journeys and intense use. Please note, the prices displayed include VAT, as well as financing bonuses.
Compact models use only gasoline engines, since their platform descends from a passenger car.
