New Maxus T60 Pickup
The new Maxus T60, a stylish looking double cab pickup truck for China. It will have its public debut on
the Guangzhou Auto Show on Friday and launch on the Chinese car market in March 2017.
Maxus is a brand under the Shanghai Automotive
Industry Corporation (SAIC), the company that also owns the MG and Roewe
brands. SAIC bought Maxus from the British LDV Group in 2010.
The T60 is aimed at the high end of the pickup truck
market and the cabin clearly shows. The infotainment system will run on a
variant of the YunOS For Cars operating system, developed by
Alibaba. YunOS debuted in the Roewe RX5.
The passengers in the rear got an armrest with cup
holders. Very fancy for a workhorse, but the arm rest seems to sit strangely
high up in the bench.
There will be three engines available: a a 1.8
petrol with 133 Hp, a 2.0 petrol with a yet unknown output, and a 2.8 turbo
diesel with 150 Hp and 360 Nm. ‘Boxes: 5MT, 6MT, and 6AT. The base models will be
RWD, the high enders 4x4.
