>China has also gone for the rear turret forward Engine option, Ukraine did that too in their new BTR variant.
It is modern "western" APC/IFV concept. Main advantage is protection, because these trucks can't have serious armor with that weight and price, and front engine combined with thick front armor makes them at partially protected against small AT weapons or autocannons.
