Weststar Malaysia has officially launched the new
Maxus G10 SE, which is a new variant of the large MPV that made its debut last
year.
What sets the G10 SE apart from the standard model
are enhancements to the MPV’s aesthetics and a revised equipment list. The
former sees the adoption of a full body kit inclusive of front and rear
bumpers, side skirts and a roof spoiler. Also new here are the automatic
sliding doors, which come with an anti-squeeze feature for added safety.
Rounding off the list of exterior changes is a set of 18-inch aluminium alloy
wheels (shod with 225/55 tyres).
Everything else about the exterior remains unchanged
from the standard G10, with HID xenon headlights (with LED DRLs), LED
taillights, front electric sunroof and chrome door handles coming as standard.
Inside, the most noticeable change is the massive 15-inch head unit, which is
actually split into a more moderately-sized touchscreen and smaller screen for
the digital clock. Elsewhere, there’s dark leather trim for the dashboard,
matched with marble-like trim.
The G10 SE’s 10 seats are
arranged in a 2-3-2-3 layout, which is the same as before, except the seats are
upholstered in black/brown leather and in a slightly different design. The
third-row bench can be folded (60:40 split) to provide more cargo space if
needed, while the second-row bench (also 60:40 split) and third row individual
seats can be slid forwards and back.
The rest of the equipment list includes keyless
entry and start, a multifunction steering wheel, 360-degree camera (new),
cruise control, multi-info display in the instrument cluster, rear
ceiling-mounted air-con vents and 220-volt power supply.
Safety wise, the G10 SE is equipped with two
airbags, ABS (with EBD and brake assist), electronic stability program (ESP),
traction control and tyre pressure monitoring system. You’ll also find Isofix
child seat anchors on the second- and third-row seats.
Under the hood, the 2.0 litre turbocharged GDI
engine is retained, offering 225 hp at 5,500 rpm and 345 Nm at 4,000 rpm. The
four-cylinder mill is paired to a six-speed ZF automatic transmission, sending
drive to the rear wheels.
The G10 SE
is priced at RM 153,412 on-the-road without insurance, which is inclusive of a
three-year warranty. Buyers will get to choose from three exterior body colours
– Obsidian Black, Blanc White and Aurora Silver.
