A RuTube Club Service viewer, Ilya Sviridov, weighed the pros and cons of the domestic Sollers ST6 pickup. His assessment drew on practical observations of the truck’s design, performance, and overall value, giving readers a clear sense of how the model competes in today’s crowded market.

The ST6 features a welded front panel sealed with a protective coating. Sviridov notes this design choice improves repairability, contrasting with earlier Chinese models that buyers once dismissed as disposable. In real world use, such a front structure detail can simplify field repairs and service work, especially in regions with harsh winters and salt exposure. Source: Club Service, RuTube.
Among the drawbacks, the autoblogger pointed to the lack of protection for the fuel tank. Additional weak points include cardan spacers, electrical connectors for the transfer case that require insulation, questionable welding quality, and pockets where corrosion has begun to appear. In markets where maintenance networks matter, these issues can raise maintenance costs and affect long term reliability. Source: Club Service, RuTube.
The ST6 pickup is produced at Mazda’s former Vladivostok plant. It is the rebranded Chinese model JAC T6. The five-seat pickup uses a gasoline engine producing 176 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. The chassis uses a frame design. The cargo box measures 1520 by 1520 by 470 millimeters, and the payload rating stands at 820 kilograms. The top speed is 150 kilometers per hour. Source: Club Service, RuTube.
The pickup is offered in two trim levels Basic and Comfort. The Basic version includes two airbags, air conditioning, cruise control, an on-board computer, an audio system, electrically adjustable side mirrors and power windows, heated front seats, and rear parking sensors. The Comfort adds a six-speaker multimedia system with a large touchscreen and a rearview camera. Prices start from 2.6 million rubles, which is roughly thirty-one thousand U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. In North American terms, buyers would encounter different price points due to regional market dynamics and import costs. Source: Club Service, RuTube.
