Zhongxing Grand Tiger
Chinese pickup truck
The Zhongxing Grand Tiger (Chinese: 中兴小老虎) is a series of mid-size pickup trucks designed and developed by Hebei Zhongxing Automobile. The Zhongxing Grand Tiger was also sold in some markets such as Africa, South America, Caucasus, the Middle East, Russia and Eastern Europe.
Overview
Zhongxing revealed the Zhongxing Grand Tiger 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. 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. 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. The brand was discontinued in 2015 after sluggish sales.
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.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Zhongxing Grand Tiger” as chinese pickup truck. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as chinese pickup truck. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q63313519. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2015 and 2009.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.
