The Admiral-Tianye car is produced by one of the small companies in China. This manufacturer has a limited range of products, among which it is the pickup truck in question that stands out favorably. The vehicle did not receive wide promotion on the world market, despite all the positive aspects. The reason for this was insufficient advertising campaign, lack of funds and crazy competition.

History of Creation

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

Analogues of "Tyanye-Admiral" are available in othercountries. There is a very great similarity between the car in question and the Japanese model Toyota Hilux. By itself, the "Admiral" from China is a traditional pickup truck equipped with a double cab for four doors, a frame structure, and a plug-in hard drive all-wheel drive. The vehicle is driven by a 2.2-liter gasoline four-cylinder power unit with a capacity of 103 horses. Gear shifting is handled by a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Exterior

The Admiral-Tianye pickup looks quite presentable, differs significantly from other Chinese developments in this direction. Assessing the exterior of the car and taking into account consumer feedback, it can be noted that in terms of design, the car turned out to be successful and original.

Despite the modest size and production capacity of the manufacturing plant, the assembly of the pickup truck is carried out in full on its own. Chinese developers refused to purchase parts and components from other companies, which made it possible to produce a solid car at an affordable price.

Strict brutal appearance without much introduction of modern frills only decorates the car. From the exterior of the car in question, you can’t immediately say that this is a product of the Chinese automobile industry.

Distinguishing Features

The car "Admiral-Tyanye" has an attractive interior. The main distinguishing points of the car in question include the following:

• No over-the-top frilly extras common on Chinese-made cars.
• Practically organized space (reasonably large cargo area, spacious cabin that can easily accommodate five people).
• an interesting and simple solution for equipping the driver's seat (everything is informative and understandable).

Pickup for its time turned out to be quite a presentable and modern vehicle, it was in direct competition with analogues in this automotive segment.

Technical plan indicators

Auto "Tyanye-Admiral" pleases with build quality and reliability. This is a big plus, given that the car belongs to the budget segment.

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

• Reliable frame base strengthens the machine, equipping it with the ability to pass, which is inherent in a real SUV.
• The technical performance of the motor is combined with a simple and confident gearbox.
• Rear-wheel drive saves fuel, if necessary, it is possible to connect the front axle.
• In non-standard situations, an axle differential lock comes to the rescue.

In fact, the car "Tyanye-Admiral", the photo of which is presented above, turned out to be not only high-quality and reliable, but also constructively advantageous in its segment.

Features

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

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

Reviews

User reviews note the advantages of the car in question and its shortcomings. The owners attributed the following to the pluses:

• Great looking.
• Seat adjustment and informative convenient dashboard.
• Good trunk capacity and spacious interior.
• Satisfactory power and cross-country performance.

Among the shortcomings, most often, poor sealing elements, poor handling, a slow set of revolutions, in some cases, interior equipment made of light leather, which quickly gets dirty, cause criticism. Original spare parts can be obtained only on order and it takes a long time to wait for them. Howeverthere is an alternative: some parts are suitable for domestic UAZ, GAZ, Niva cars. In general, the car is very good in terms of price / quality ratio.

Conclusion

The Admiral-Tianye pickup truck continues to be produced in China without reforming the main technical indicators. Unfortunately, the car is not sold on the international market, since the company cannot win patent disputes. To date, the car is morally obsolete and has received a lot of "advanced" competitors from compatriots. However, given the main characteristics and capabilities, this car occupies a worthy position.
