The VGV U75 PLUS is a D-segment SUV introduced in 2022 by Sinotruk VGV, the light passenger vehicle arm of Sinotruk Group. Serving as one of the brand's key offerings in the passenger car market, the SUV is tailored for multi-member family use, highlighting generous cabin space, high value-for-money, and versatile 5-, 6-, or 7-seater configurations. The entire range is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission in a front-wheel-drive (FWD) setup. As of June 2026, the available lineup spans 2024 to 2025 model years across multiple variants, including the Elite, Zhuoyue, Qiqu Mountain, Dream Travel, VIP, and Zunyao. Seating layouts are primarily offered in 5-seater and 7-seater (2+3+2) options, alongside a 6-seater option on selected trims. Priced between RM117,900 and RM186,800, the range is topped by the flagship 2025 Zunyao Edition.
The VGV U75 PLUS features substantial road presence, measuring 4,825 mm in length, 1,870 mm in width, and 1,691 mm in height, with a 2,800 mm wheelbase. Up front, it sports an imposing polygonal radiator grille with signature V-shaped chrome slats for distinct brand recognition, flanked by prominent bonnet creases that add muscular definition. The front bumper incorporates L-shaped side air curtains accented by trapezoidal red trim pieces to inject a sportier touch. Along the sides, clean, horizontal body lines and a floating-roof design deliver a planted and robust profile. The rear features a roof spoiler, complemented by a lower bumper diffuser insert and a central rear fog lamp that tie into the front-end styling. Inside, the cabin is trimmed with extensive soft-touch materials, piano black inserts, and leatherette panels for an elevated touch, with leather wrapping extending to the steering wheel, door panels, and centre console.
Under the hood, the VGV U75 PLUS is powered by an HY4C20B 2.0-litre transverse four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, producing 165 kW (around 224 PS) and a maximum torque of 385 Nm across a wide band between 1,800 and 3,600 rpm. Power is sent to the front wheels via an 8-speed torque converter automatic (AT) gearbox. It completes the 0–100 km/h sprint in 8.2 seconds, on to a top speed of 210 km/h. On the efficiency front, its combined fuel consumption is rated at 8.3 L/100 km under the WLTC cycle, running on RON 92 petrol. Power delivery is tuned primarily for mid- to top-end punch, offering solid overtaking grunt on highways and under full load; however, low-end response off the line remains relatively gentle.
Underneath, the VGV U75 PLUS rides on a front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link independent suspension setup, a segment-standard configuration aimed at balancing ride comfort and handling stability. It is equipped with Electric Power Steering (EPS), front ventilated disc and rear solid disc brakes, along with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto Hold. Depending on the trim, it rolls on either 225/60 R18 or 225/55 R18 tyres, accompanied by a space-saver spare wheel. Three selectable drive modes are available: Standard/Comfort, Eco, and Sport, catering to diverse driving situations. The chassis setup leans towards the firmer side; while it effectively curbs body roll during cornering, its damping over smaller road imperfections and broken tarmac is rather average.
On the tech front, the VGV U75 PLUS features a 10.25-inch full digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, with higher-spec variants upgrading to a larger 12.3-inch centre screen. Gear selection is operated via an electronic gear lever or a rotary shift dial on higher-end variants. The infotainment system supports factory smartphone mirroring, multimedia playback, satellite navigation, and Bluetooth connectivity. Comfort conveniences on higher trims include an operable panoramic glass sunroof, powered tailgate, automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and a power-adjustable driver's seat. Standard factory speakers are fitted across the range, with no premium branded sound system on offer. Practicality-wise, the 5-seater configuration offers ample boot space, expanding up to a cavernous 1,800 litres with the rear seats folded flat. Manual air conditioning comes standard, while higher-spec variants gain single-zone automatic climate control.
In terms of passive safety, the VGV U75 PLUS features a high-rigidity monocoque chassis, equipped with front dual airbags and front side airbags as standard, with higher grades adding front and rear curtain airbags. Standard active safety kit includes a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (warning-only on lower trims), ABS with EBD, Brake Assist (BA), Traction Control (TCS), and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). For driving assistance, it provides cruise control, a reverse camera, and front and rear parking sensors, with top-spec trims stepping up to a 360-degree surround-view camera. Notably, as of 2025, the VGV U75 PLUS range does not feature Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) or Lane Keep Assist (LKA), keeping its driver aids at a basic Level 0 standard. For family safety, ISOFIX child seat anchor points are standard across all variants.
The VGV U75 PLUS squares off against rivals in the mid-size, three-row petrol SUV space such as the Chery Tiggo 8, Jetour X90, and JAC X8 PLUS. As of June 2026, while official standalone sales figures for this model are not publicly available, its sibling model—the similarly sized VGV U70—recorded just 37 units in March 2025, reflecting subdued market performance. Limited brand presence, a modest dealer footprint, and slower product updates remain key hurdles to its commercial success. In terms of user feedback, owners generally praise its roomy cabin, versatile seating layouts, and accessible price point; however, complaints logged on platforms like 12365auto point to issues with transmission judder, continuously running radiator fans, and intermittent engine warning lights. There have also been buyer grievances regarding misleading sales practices where base trims were mischaracterised. Overall, while the VGV U75 PLUS offers a compelling space-to-price proposition in the RM100,000–RM150,000 SUV bracket, its market uptake continues to be held back by brand recognition and reliability concerns.
