In the past five years we have seen great success in the automotive industry of the Middle Kingdom: a wave of “stumps” composed of elements of different brands and brands have been replaced by completely independent cars created by eminent studios and equipped with world-famous equipment. It seems that all of China, at the gesture of the “Great Pilot”, switched to a new orbit and rushed to storm the Korean Olympus.
However, there are completely different cars in the Middle Kingdom – simple, reliable, bought from the Japanese a long time ago and produced in almost the same form ever since. In this list, the frame SUV, which is now urgently needed in Russia, stands out, which has a few competitors in terms of resources, is serviceable like the Zhigul and popular like Alla Pugacheva. His name is Changfeng Liebao Leopard. Do you know this?
Wrong, you know that very well! After all, this is a complete copy of the legendary Mitsubishi Pajero II, a cult car from the 1990s, renowned for its reliability and off-road capability. The Chinese just bought the line and model from the Japanese, visually improved it a bit and continued to produce a car on which the glory of the Three Diamonds grew and strengthened.
“Chinese” differs from the classic “Pajero” only in the absence of a diesel engine – a 2.4-liter petrol engine with 125 hp, EasySelect transmissions – also known as Part-time – and SuperSelect in place, as well as a bridge with a frame . There are also no differences in spare parts – everything fits perfectly. The build quality is not sharply criticized, because the car is assembled under license and under the control of Japanese specialists. And the company itself – this is one of the divisions of the already well-known GAC in Russia – is “friendly” with Mitsu.
By the way, it is precisely the appearance and promotion in Russia of the head GAC, which until now is represented only by expensive and rich models, which owes the rumors about the possible appearance of the Leopard in our latitudes. It’s no secret to anyone that consolidation and growth in any market comes with the availability of widely available models, which should form the basis for selling more expensive and modern products. Changfeng Liebao Leopard fits this description perfectly.
Of course, there are still many questions: here is the price, and the brand that is not yet popular enough, and quotas for delivery and logistics. However, the Chinese have already tried once to bring the Changfeng Liebao Leopard to the Russian market, so the second entry is not only likely, but will be many times more successful, because the field is plowed, but not sown. We have to seize the moment, and the Chinese are very, very quick on this matter. But in our country, they have raised environmental standards, calmed down security and prepared a direct financial bridge between the ruble and the yuan. When is there another chance like this?
