Overview
editOriginally codenamed M4 during development phase and unveiled at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, the Forthing Yacht was launched on 15 April 2022. The Forthing Yacht is powered by a Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi Motors joint-venture manufactured 1.5-litre turbocharged inline-4 engine producing a maximum output of 197 hp (147 kW; 200 PS) with peak torque of 285 N⋅m (210 lb⋅ft; 29 kg⋅m). The engine is mated to a 7-speed Magna wet dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Top speed is electronically limited to 180 km/h (110 mph).[2]
The interior of the Forthing Yacht is equipped with two 10.25-inch screens on the front, and the climate control has a separate remote on the center console. The media system is integrated with voice control and over-the-air update function. In terms of safety, the Forthing Yacht has six or eight airbags depending on configuration, adaptive cruise control, automatic braking system and autonomous parking.[3] The interior was first available as a seven-seat cabin in a 2+2+3 configuration with the seats upholstered in Nappa leather.[4]
Prices of the Forthing Yacht ranges from $18,500 to $23,500 in China at launch.[3]
At the 2022 Tehran Auto Show, Farda Motors Company (FMC) introduced this car under the name FMC Suba M4[5] for the Iranian market.[6] This car was pre-sold in March 2023[7] and entered the Iranian market in May 2023.[8] In January 2024, Forthing M4 U-tour began to be sold in Belarus. [9]
