Vans produced by Baolong were available from November 2001. The Baolong Tianmazuo, also known as the Baolong Pegasus, was a licensed production of the Mitsubishi Space Gear[1] The TBL 6500H trim had room for seven people and had a four-cylinder engine with 2351 cc displacement and 97 kW.[1] The same motorized TBL 6500 trim had eleven seats.[1] In 2003, the seven-seater supplemented TBL 6508 H and the TBL 6508 is available with either eight or eleven seats.[1] Both models were powered by a V6 engine with 2972cc displacement and 118 kW of torque.[1] TBL 6500 H and TBL 6508 H hadt a wheelbase of 2800mm, a track width of 1445mm (front) and 1420mm (rear), a length of 4595mm, a width of 1695mm, and a height of 1950mm.[1] The TBL 6508 had a 3000mm long wheelbase, 5080mm in length, 1820mm wide, and a height of 1960mm.[2] All versions were revised in October 2003.[1]

Design

Due to the foundation being based on the Mitsubishi Space Gear, the side profile is exactly the same as the Mitsubishi Space Gear, with the entire front end redesigned to resemble the Nissan Serena (C24), and a redesigned rear that still keeps the same rear quarter panel from the Mitsubishi Space Gear.
