Auto "Admiral-Tianye": specifications, photos and reviews

The car "Admiral-Tianye" is produced by one of the small companies in China. This manufacturer has a limited range of products, among which the pickup in question stands out. Wide promotion in the world market vehicle has not received, despite all the positive aspects. The reason for this was an inadequate advertising company, lack of funds and crazy competition.

History of creation

By and large, the Admiral model is not completely the brainchild of Tianye. A similar car with a similar name is present in the assortment of the company ZX, as well as the Chinese auto giant FAW. Attempts at plagiarism are another reason for the lack of expected success. When cars from the Middle Kingdom began to enter the domestic market massively, it was very difficult for the consumer to understand the names and modifications of a huge number of brands.

Analogues of "Tianye-Admiral" are also available in other countries. Very great similarity of the machine in question with the Japanese model Toyota Hilux. By itself, the "Admiral" from China is a traditional pickup truck equipped with a double four-door cab, a frame structure, a rigid all-wheel drive of the plug-in type. The vehicle is driven by a petrol four-cylinder power unit of 2.2 liters capacity of 103 horses. For the speed change is responsible for a manual gearbox with 5 steps.

Exterior

The "Admiral-Tyanje" pick-up looks quite presentable, it differs significantly from other Chinese developments in this direction. Evaluating the exterior of the car and taking into account the feedback of consumers, it can be noted that in the design plan the car turned out to be successful and original.

Despite the modest size and production capacity of the manufacturing plant, the pick-up is assembled in full by its own forces. Chinese developers refused to purchase parts and components from other companies, which allowed to produce a solid machine at an affordable price.

Strict brutal appearance without special introduction of modern delights only decorates the car. On the exterior of the car in question, you can not at once say that this is the production of the Chinese car industry.

Distinctive features

The car "Admiral-Tianye" has an attractive salon. The main distinguishing features of the car in question are the following:

• The absence of excessive pretentious additions, typical for Chinese-made machines.
• Practically organized space (large enough cargo area, spacious cabin, easily accommodating five people).
• An interesting and simple solution for equipping the driver's seat (everything is informative and understandable).

The pickup for its time proved to be quite presentable and modern vehicle, made direct competition to the analogues of this automobile segment.

Indicators of the technical plan

Auto "Tyan'e-Admiral" pleases with the quality of assembly and reliability. This is a big plus considering that the car belongs to the budget segment.

Regarding technical characteristics, it can be noted that they are rather modest. The power unit with a capacity of 2.3 liters produces about 100 horsepower. In this case, the gearbox is provided exclusively in the mechanical version, and the power set leaves much to be desired. Nevertheless, the vehicle has objective advantages:

• A robust frame base strengthens the car, equipping it with patency, the capabilities of which are inherent in this SUV.
• Technical characteristics of the engine are combined with a simple and confident gearbox.
• The rear drive provides fuel economy, if necessary, it is possible to connect the front axle.
• In non-standard situations, an axial differential lock comes to the rescue.

In fact, the car "Tianye-Admiral", the photo of which is presented above, was not just high-quality and reliable, but also constructively winning in its segment.

Features

In Russia, the "Admiral" was officially sold until 2007, for all time it was sold about two thousand copies. It was cheaper than the main competitors: up to 20 thousand dollars per unit in a basic configuration, equipped with lifts and mirrors with electronic drive, air conditioning, radio tape recorder, parking controller and light alloy wheels. At the same time there were serious miscalculations in ergonomics, the build quality left much to be desired, and the warranty was given for only a year or 30 thousand kilometers.

Reinforced frame structure of the body, the presence of a fully connected drive, acceptable settings for a low-power and economical motor. These aspects do honor to the Chinese concern, but in the modern market the original spare parts for "Tianye-Admiral", like the car itself, are almost impossible to buy.

Reviews

Customer feedback notes the advantages of the car in question and its shortcomings. The pluses attributed the following to the pluses:

• Excellent appearance.
• Seat adjustment and informative convenient instrument panel.
• Good trunk capacity and spacious interior.
• Satisfactory power and patency.

Among the shortcomings most often the complaint is caused by poor sealing elements, poor controllability, slow speed dials, in some cases - equipment of a salon of light skin, which is quickly dirty. Original spare parts can be obtained only on order and wait a long time. However, there is an alternative: some parts come from domestic cars UAZ, GAZ, Niva. In general, the machine in terms of the ratio of price / performance is very good.

Conclusion

Pickup "Admiral-Tianye" continues to be produced in China without the reformation of the main technical indicators. Unfortunately, the machine is not sold on the international market, because the company can not win patent disputes. For today, the car is morally obsolete and received a lot of "advanced" competitors from compatriots. However, taking into account the main features and capabilities, this car takes a worthy position.
