King Long Jinwei
Chinese commercial van
The King Long Jinwei (Chinese: 厦门金龙-金威) is a series of light commercial van produced by the Chinese automobile manufacturer King Long based on licensed tooling of the fourth generation Toyota HiAce. A rebadged variant called the Golden Dragon V4 was sold alongside by Golden Dragon, a subsidiary of King Long. The King Long Jinwei has since been available in a wide range of body configurations, including a minivan/MPV, minibus, panel van, crew van, and an ambulance.
History
Originally launched in 1995, the early models of the King Long Jinwei and Golden Dragon V4 was called the Haise with the code name XML6480, and they were built using the toolings of the Toyota HiAce H100 vans.
Golden Dragon facelift
A facelift unique to the Golden Dragon brand was revealed after that featured a completely restyled front fascia, black window trims, and tail lamp extensions on to the tailgate for more upmarket trim levels.
On 20 June 2010, a second facelift for the Golden Dragon and King long Jinwei was launched on to market. The updated model features a revised and upgraded interior and an exterior appearance similar to the Foton View models with crystal LED headlights. The updated Jinwei offers both gasoline and diesel powered engines, with five engine options available. For the gasoline engines, options include the 491, V20, and 4RB2 gasoline engines based on Toyota systems, electronic throttle control (ETC) technology, AV1 combustion diagnosis technology and ECU computer smart control for better fuel capability and power output. For diesel engines, options include the GW2.8TC-2 and YC4FB90-30 diesel engines.

Why this record matters
The phrase “chinese commercial van” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q100618598. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995 and 2010.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
