GrandTiger Overview:
ZX GrandTiger (GrandTiger). With 193 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1610 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. The top speed reaches 140 km/h. A vehicle with an open cargo bed at the back, suitable for transporting goods. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The ZX GrandTiger generation was not officially tested by Euro NCAP. Safety features are basic for its era, including ABS, but it does not meet modern safety standards and occupant protection is likely limited.
2.4 (126 Hp) 4x4 Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The automatic transmission provides convenience but may slightly dull the already modest performance of the 126 Hp engine, especially when combined with 4x4.
Fuel Economy
Expected to have similar or slightly worse fuel economy than the manual 4x4 due to the automatic transmission's characteristics and potential for higher losses.
