HuangHai Plutus: Which Version Should You Choose?
The HuangHai Plutus catalogue contains one generation and one version, so there is no choice between engines, gearboxes, drivetrains, or generations. The only listed configuration is the 2.4 MT, produced from 2007 to 2011 as a Pickup double-cab. It combines a 2351 cc Gasoline engine producing 126 hp and 190 Nm with a 5-speed Manual gearbox and RWD.

The only listed configuration is the 2.4 MT, produced from 2007 to 2011 as a Pickup double-cab. It combines a 2351 cc Gasoline engine producing 126 hp and 190 Nm with a 5-speed Manual gearbox and RWD. With no alternative Plutus version in the supplied data, the buying decision depends on whether this exact specification suits the intended use.
HuangHai Plutus generations compared
The Plutus has one recorded generation: 1 generation, manufactured from 2007 to 2011. It uses a Pickup double-cab body and includes one version, the 2.4 MT. There is consequently no later generation offering a different engine, body, transmission, or drive system in this catalogue, and the data lists no restyling to compare.
The production period is identical for both the generation and the 2.4 MT version: 2007 to 2011. Buyers comparing Plutus model years are therefore choosing within the same generation and specification rather than between mechanically distinct catalogue entries.
HuangHai Plutus engine and specs
The 2.4 MT has a naturally aspirated 2351 cc Gasoline engine with 4 cylinders in an Inline layout and 4 valves per cylinder. The engine is mounted Front, longitudinal and uses Distributed injection (multi-point). It develops 126 hp (93 kW) at 5250 rpm and 190 Nm at 2500 rpm. Boost is listed as No, while the compression ratio is 9.5 and the specified fuel is 92.
Its calculated specific output is approximately 53.6 hp per litre, based on 126 hp and 2351 cc. Specific torque is approximately 80.8 Nm per litre, based on 190 Nm and the same displacement. These derived figures do not create a comparison with another Plutus engine because no alternative engine is listed; they simply describe how the available 2.4 MT uses its displacement.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4 MT | 126 hp | 190 Nm | 2351 cc | Gasoline | 4 | Inline | No | 5-speed Manual | RWD |
Because the catalogue contains only the 2.4 MT, choosing a Plutus also means accepting a Manual gearbox and RWD. There is no listed Automatic, alternative gear count, or different drive configuration to weigh against it.
HuangHai Plutus performance and mpg
The 2.4 MT has a listed top speed of 160 km/h. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is not measured. City fuel consumption is not measured, highway fuel consumption is not measured, and combined fuel consumption is not measured. CO₂ output is also not measured, and the ecological class is not measured.
These missing economy figures prevent a numerical mpg or fuel-cost comparison. The 64-litre fuel tank describes capacity, but without a measured consumption figure it does not establish driving range. Likewise, the listed top speed cannot be used to infer acceleration or fuel economy.
HuangHai Plutus dimensions, weight, and ground clearance
The 2.4 MT has a kerb weight of 1500 kg and a gross weight of 2325 kg. The arithmetic difference between those figures is 825 kg, although that difference should not be treated as a separately measured payload rating. Ground clearance is 200 mm, and fuel-tank capacity is 64 litres. Wheel sizes are not measured.
At kerb weight, the 2.4 MT carries approximately 11.9 kg per horsepower, calculated from 1500 kg and 126 hp. The reciprocal calculation gives about 84 hp per tonne. At gross weight, the corresponding ratio is approximately 18.5 kg per horsepower. These calculations help describe the relationship between recorded weight and engine output, but they do not substitute for the unmeasured 0–100 km/h result.
The listed front suspension is Independent, torsion, and the front brakes are Disc. Rear-suspension and rear-brake specifications are not measured.
Which HuangHai Plutus version should you buy?
Choose the 2.4 MT if the required combination is a Pickup double-cab, a 2351 cc Gasoline engine, a 5-speed Manual transmission, and RWD. Its key recorded figures are 126 hp, 190 Nm, a 1500 kg kerb weight, 200 mm of ground clearance, a 64-litre tank, and a 160 km/h top speed.
There is no higher-powered Plutus, lower-powered Plutus, Automatic version, or alternative generation in the supplied catalogue. As a result, no Plutus version offers “extra money” in exchange for more power, torque, equipment, or a different drivetrain according to these data. The practical comparison is binary: either the 2.4 MT specification matches the buyer’s needs, or the available Plutus range provides no internal alternative.
The main limitation for a numbers-based choice is the absence of measured acceleration and consumption data. A buyer can compare the 2.4 MT using its known engine, weight, clearance, tank, gearbox, drive, and top-speed figures, but cannot make a supported claim about its 0–100 km/h performance, city mpg, highway mpg, or combined mpg.
HuangHai Plutus problems and reliability data
Problems and reliability are not measured in the supplied data. There are no figures for fault frequency, repair history, durability, or maintenance costs, so the 2.4 MT cannot be ranked against another Plutus version on reliability. The catalogue supports a specification-based decision only: one generation, one Pickup double-cab body, and one exact version—2.4 MT.
