[ Truck Home Original] If I say that any industry is high or low, it has its own "threshold", I believe everyone agrees with this sentence. So what is the threshold for the freight industry? There are only two points: one is to have a small truck suitable for your use, and the other is to have a relatively fixed source of goods.
We will not study the issue of "source of goods" here, because this can be said to be the "Eight Immortals show their magical powers across the sea". Let's talk about the "small truck" in detail. In fact, buying a car and running freight is a kind of "investment", a "business", and a "small truck" is our capital.
For card friends who want to "try the water" and "try the depth" of the cargo operation industry; or for card friends who don't have such a sufficient budget, an affordable and cost-effective small truck can reduce risks and speed up the cost-benefit cycle, which is our only choice.
The four minivans brought to card friends today can be said to be the "lowest threshold" for entering the freight operation industry. The price below 40,000 is the biggest advantage of these minivans.
Wuling always promotes itself, "What kind of car does the people need, what kind of car does they build for the people?" Let's take a look at this 50 Glory Small Card. Is this car we need? First of all, the guide price of 39,800 is not the lowest among the four models today. So what is its configuration?
For a small truck, its cargo capacity is very critical. The total vehicle mass is 1.935 tons and the rated load capacity is 0.714 tons.
Column cargo compartment size: inner length 2.71 meters, inner width 1.52 meters, railing height 0.32 meters. The rear wheels are designed with single tires and the tire size is 175/70R14LT.
Wuling Rongguang Xiaoka , as always, adopts a load-bearing body structure, without using independent beams. The chassis is equipped with independent suspension , and the steel leaf spring suspension is used in the back. The number of leaf spring is 6 pieces. The design advantage of
is that the front independent suspension filtering effect is better; the disadvantage is that compared with independent beam models, the load-bearing capacity is weak.
power, this car uses a gasoline engine with model "SAIC Wuling LSI", a displacement of 1.2 liters, a maximum 82 horsepower, and a maximum torque of 2115 Nm. Matching this engine is a manual 5-speed gearbox.
Since this Wuling Rongguang small card is mainly practical and durable, the inside of the cab looks very simple, without any unnecessary configuration, and it still adopts the design of hand-cranked windows.
But for us drivers, these are not important. We can have an air conditioner that is warm in winter and cool in summer to ensure that we have the energy to work and can’t be tired of driving.
Overall, the Wuling Rongguang Xiaoka car, the price of 39,800 with gives us a qualified small truck. It does not have any outstanding configurations, nor does it require these configurations. As long as the price is affordable, it is also durable and able to do practical things for us, these are enough.
When it comes to Kelly series minivans, many cargo friends may be unfamiliar with it and say "I haven't heard of it". When talking about its parent company at that time, everyone must know it, that is the familiar " Chery ". The guide price of this Kairui Youjin under Chery is 39,900 yuan, which is very similar to the 39,800 yuan Wuling Rongguang small card. Let’s take a look at its configuration.
Let’s start with the chassis configuration of Kairui Youjin. The total vehicle mass is 2.04 tons and the rated load capacity is 0.78 tons.
Column cargo box size: inner length 3 meters, inner width 1.5 meters, railing height 0.327 meters. The rear wheel adopts a single tire design, with tire size 175/70R14C.
This car also adopts a load-bearing body structure and does not use independent beams. Independent suspension is used in front of the chassis, and steel sheet spring suspension is used in the rear wheels, with 6 leaf springs.
From the perspective of the entire chassis configuration, it is basically the same as the Wuling Rongguang small card, and the carrying capacity is generally not much different. However, the cargo box of Kairui Youjin is 3 meters long, which is slightly larger.
power, this car uses a gasoline engine with model "Dongan DAM15KR", with a displacement of 1.5 and a maximum of 116 horsepower. It is matched with this engine with a manual 5-speed gearbox. Compared with Wuling Rongguang small card, its displacement and horsepower are larger, and the corresponding power performance will be better.
Karry Youjin's cab uses black and white double-combination color schemes, which look more energetic. In terms of configuration, it is also relatively simple. It is equipped with air conditioning to ensure warm winter and cool summer. In terms of the instrument panel of
design, Kairui's design is more pleasing and uses a double-tube design with a blue background, which looks more eye-catching and energetic.
Comprehensive guide price of 39,900 yuan, it is very close to the 50 Rongguang small card, but Kairui is better in engine displacement and cargo box size, and I personally think its cab design is more pleasing and is a small truck worth choosing.
Speaking of Changan Microcard, I believe most people are familiar with it. Judging from the sales of minivans in the first quarter of 2022, Changan followed Wuling in the second place, with a strong momentum. Changan has been deeply engaged in the field of minivans for many years and has the first-class car manufacturing level in the industry. In recent years, it can be said that it has achieved double harvests in reputation and sales.
The Changan Race King X1 brought today is priced at 39,900 yuan, which is very similar to Wuling and Kairui. Let’s take a look at its configuration?
Let’s start with the load capacity. The total vehicle mass is 2.045 tons and the rated load capacity is 0.745 tons.
Column cargo box size: inner length 3.05 meters, inner width 1.5 meters, railing height 0.36 meters. The rear wheel adopts a single tire design, and the tire sizes are available in two models: 165R14LT and 175R14LT.
Changan Triple King X1 also adopts a load-bearing body structure and does not use independent beams. The front wheel is an independent suspension, while the rear wheel uses a steel spring suspension, with 5 leaf springs. The entire chassis configuration is not much different from that of Kairui Youjin. They use 3-meter-long cargo containers, and the loading capacity of the goods is basically the same.
Power, this car uses a gasoline engine with the model "Wuling Liuji LJ469Q-AEB", a displacement of 1.3 liters, a maximum of 91 horsepower and a maximum torque of 118 Nm. Matching this engine is a manual 5-speed gearbox with model "Aoyama MR513".
The cab is mainly black, and the seats adopt a black and white double-combination color scheme. The overall configuration is also very simple. Hand-cranked windows are also used and air conditioned is standard to ensure warm winter and cool summer.
dashboard uses the same double-tube style as Karui Youjin, and an electronic display is paired with a middle, so the area of the entire dashboard is also larger, which is conducive to observation.
Now it seems that the prices of Wuling Rongguang Small Card, Kairui Youjin, and Changan Triple King X1 are very close, and the chassis configuration and Changan are better than Wuling. In terms of cab configuration and texture, Kairui and Changan are closer.
I didn’t expect that the competition for microcards at the 40,000 level was so fierce. Now the pressure has been given to the last player to appear - Futian Yuling VQ1. I don’t know that it can hold on top.
Futian Yuling VQ1 really lived up to expectations and gave a guide price of 38,900 yuan, instantly leading the top three opponents in terms of price.
Fotian is an enterprise that has been manufacturing microcards for a long time. Now its industrial chain involves microcards, light trucks , medium and heavy trucks, etc. It can be said that it has strong technical reserves. This Yuling VQ1, with a guide price of 3.89, is a very classic micro truck model. It is considered an unbeaten veteran in the battlefield. Can it win in today's competition? In terms of load-bearing capacity, the total mass of the vehicle is 2.56 tons and the rated load capacity is 1.2 tons.
Column cargo box size: inner length 2.7 meters, inner width 1.56 meters, railing height 0.36 meters. The rear wheels adopt a single tire design, and the tire size is 175R14LT 8PR. What surprised me was that unlike the first three cars, this Yuling VQ1 adopts a non-load-bearing body structure and uses independent beams, which has stronger load-bearing capacity. Both front and rear are steel spring suspensions, with the front and 5 plate springs in the front and 4 rear.
The entire chassis configuration is basically the same as that of Wuling, but the independent beam makes its carrying capacity much larger than the first three cars.
power, this car uses a gasoline engine with the model "Xiaokang Power DK12C", a 1.2-liter displacement, a maximum of 91 horsepower and a maximum torque of 115 Nm. Matching this engine is a manual 5-speed gearbox. The performance of power level is average and is basically the same as that of Wuling and Changan.
From the perspective of the cab, the configuration is relatively simple, and the window lifting is also manual. The middle of the steering wheel adopts a relatively smooth design, which makes the grip feel better. The car also comes with air conditioning standard.
Another surprise is that the car has a central control screen, the most important function is the reversing image, making it safer for us to park in the city. For a 38,900-yuan minivan, this configuration is valuable.
Overall, compared with the first three cars, Yuling VQ1 has the lowest guide price, but its chassis has the strongest carrying capacity, and it is also the only car with reversing images. For card friends who want to buy microcards in the near future, Yuling VQ1 is definitely a model that cannot be missed.
● Postscript
The price of less than 40,000 yuan can be said to be the lowest threshold for entering the freight operation industry. Unexpectedly, various manufacturers are still very competitive at this level, and this is not only a collision of prices, but also a competition of configuration and quality. This is of course more beneficial than disadvantages for card friends. The competition among brands allows us to enjoy the best products.
Card friends must compare the stores before buying a car, and don’t be afraid of trouble. If you don’t have time to test drive, you can come to Truck House for more visits. Comparing these four small trucks under 40,000 yuan this time, who do you think will win? You can chat together in the comment section.
