SGMW claims that the Journey pickup’s generous 124.4-inch wheelbase ensures a spacious four-door cab as well as a superior cargo box size, achieving a unique stance that makes easy everyday use a top priority. The cargo bed has a long and low form factor, equipped with a highly modular gantry structure, emphasizing load capacity and driver outward visibility, simplifying the ownership experience.

The joint venture claims that this engine is fuel efficient and meets China’s national B6 emissions regulations.
