The Zhongxing Grand Tiger is a series of mid-size pickup truck designed and developed by Hebei Zhongxing Automobile. [1] The Zhongxing Grand Tiger was also sold in some markets such as Africa, South America, Caucasus, the Middle East, Russia and Eastern Europe. [2] [3]
Zhongxing revealed the Zhongxing Grand Tiger (Chinese :中兴小老虎) in the Chinese market based on the Zhongxing Weihu platform as the entry level model of the whole Zhongxing Grand Tiger series, with prices starting at 56,000 yuan and ending at 75,800 yuan. [4] Despite being called the Grand Tiger throughout the series in export markets, in China, the Zhongxing Grand Tiger is only the name for the entry level model of the whole series.
The Grand Tiger was introduced to Australia in 2013, distributed by major Perth car dealer John Hughes. Offered with the SAIC-Mitsubishi-sourced 4G64 engine (which was also shared with the Great Wall V240), it was later offered with a 2.5L four-cylinder turbodiesel. Starting at AU$16,990 for the cab-chassis two-wheel drive model, it was the cheapest ute available in Australia upon introduction. [5] CarsGuide noted in its review that it was "so much like the engineering in the Great Wall [V240] that it's more a sister vehicle," adding that it was "good value-for-money and capable," though they criticised the weakness of the 2.4L petrol engine. [6] The brand was discontinued in 2015 after sluggish sales. [7]
6,000 Grand Tigers were also exported to Libya in 2009, which marked ZX Auto's largest single-batch export order up until that point. [8] Several examples notably saw service in the First Libyan Civil War as technicals, modified by anti-Gaddafi forces to serve in battle. [9] [10]

[12] In foreign markets, the Zhongxing Grand Tiger G3 is the facelift version of the Zhongxing Grand Tiger. [13]
The Zhongxing Grand Tiger TUV or Zhongxing Weihu (威虎) pickup truck was launched on the Chinese car market in August 2013 with prices starting at 75,800 yuan and ending at 102,800 yuan. [14] The Grand Tiger TUV is an even more premium version of the standard Grand Tiger pickup truck positioned above the Zhongxing Weihu G3. According to Zhongxing, TUV stands for Tiger Utility Vehicle. The Zhongxing Grand Tiger TUV is available with two engine options from Isuzu including a 2.5 liter turbo diesel engine producing 143 hp and 340 nm of torque, and a 2.8 liter turbo diesel engine producing 95 hp and 225 nm of torque, both mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
