Tires on Kinglong Longyao 8 (Кинглонг)

The "Kinglong Longyao 8" minibus was introduced in 2018, targeting the corporate transportation and premium shuttle segment. Development was focused on the domestic Chinese market, where spacious yet relatively compact passenger solutions are in demand. The concept is built around a combination of representative-level equipment and utilitarian reliability, making this model an interesting offer for the hotel business and private carriers. The manufacturer aimed to create an alternative to Japanese and European minivans, offering a more favorable price-to-equipment ratio. As a result, the model occupied a niche between classic minibuses and business shuttles.

Architecture and Design Features

The model is built on a frame platform with integration into the bearing body. The layout is borrowed from commercial equipment — longitudinal engine placement at the front and rear-wheel drive via a non-split axle. This provides high resistance to loads and allows for efficient use of cabin space. The front suspension is independent, and the rear suspension is dependent on the spring or torsion bar, depending on the version. The body dimensions are oriented towards maneuverability in urban environments: a length of around 5.4 meters with a moderate width, allowing for confident movement in dense traffic. The high roof provides comfortable seating and movement inside the cabin, which is important for transfer tasks.

The engine range is represented by turbocharged diesel engines developed by Toyota, which are produced under license in China. The top versions are equipped with a 2.8-liter "four" with a power of 150 hp and a torque of 360 Nm, working in conjunction with a 5-speed manual transmission. The "base" offers a 2.5-liter engine with a power of 136 hp and a torque of 320 Nm, also paired with a "mechanic", but with 6 speeds. For some export markets, this minibus is supplied with a 2.4-liter gasoline engine, developing 140 hp and 200 Nm of torque.

Interior and Cabin Layout

The cabin is one of the key advantages of the minibus. The lineup includes versions with several layout options, starting from utilitarian 10-12-seat configurations. Top versions offer "captain's" chairs in the second row, along with trim made of natural leather, soft plastics, and decorative inserts imitating wood or metal.

The organization of space deserves special attention: wide aisles, convenient armrests, the presence of individual air ducts and lighting. For passengers, there are multimedia systems, USB connectors, and even retractable tables in some configurations. Such a set makes the model competitive against more expensive analogs.

Equipment and Technological Solutions

Despite its utilitarian essence, the model offers a fairly extensive list of active safety and comfort systems. Already in the "base" version, there are ABS, brake force distribution system, stabilization, and front airbags. In extended versions, a rearview camera, parking sensors, and climate control are added. The multimedia system with a touch screen supports basic navigation functions and connection of mobile devices. The interface remains quite simple, which corresponds to the model's philosophy — functionality without excessive overload.
