Apart from overall drivetrain, biggest highlight is 6X6 tri-axle design, which will have a big impact on vehicle. The overall performance of the 6X6 will have higher performance, especially in terms of cross-country ability.

Refer to status of test car, it should be in initial stage of testing, body is covered with a certain degree of camouflage, but first half is basically same as Shanhai Cannon, and parts are already more off-road appearance and tighter front insurance. The steering wheel, as well as fording hose on right, correspond to previously exhibited models. Due to its positioning, it should not provide a luxurious look to Shanhai Cannon, as large number of chrome decorations is a bit inconsistent with its positioning.

You can see three-axle design at rear, and suspension shape will not change much. Referring to Shanhai Cannon chassis design, front axle will use double wishbone design, and rear axle will still be a solid axle., this is also main configuration of pickup trucks -SUVs are currently load and cross-country, and test car currently has an exaggerated ground clearance, but fender configuration is believed to be only a temporary part, and Shanhai Cannon side tailgate will also be retained.
