Overview edit

Originally 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]
