Styling controversies
[edit]
Styling of the pre-facelift first generation Huanghai Plutus has been controversial as the exterior design is heavily resembling the first generation Chevrolet Colorado. The post-facelift first generation model has a revised front end that resembles the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado instead.[5]

The second generation Huanghai Plutus (大柴神) is essentially the pickup version of the Huanghai Landscape F1 SUV, sharing the same platform and same front fascia design. It was launched in May 2012.[7]
The second generation Plutus is available with a 2.4 liter gasoline engine and a 3.2 liter turbo diesel engine. The 3.2 liter inline-4 turbo diesel engine is supplied by FAW Dachai and produces a maximum power of 107 hp（79 kW）at 3200rpm and a maximum torque of 245N·m at 2000rpm.[8]
Styling controversy
[edit]
Because the second generation Huanghai Plutus is based on the Landscape F1, its styling has been controversial as the exterior cab design is heavily resembling the first generation Kia Sorento, with the lower front bumper inserts resembling those found on the Mercedes-Benz M-Class.[8]
