This is the production version of the Shanghai Maxus D90 SUV, looking very similar to last year’s concept. The D90 will debut on
the Shanghai Auto Show and launch on the Chinese
auto market in Q3.
Shanghai Maxus is a brand under the Shanghai
Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC). SAIC bought Maxus from the British LDV Group in 2010. The Maxus V80 was launched in China in
September 2011, and the Maxus G10 followed in 2014.
The G90 will be the brand’s first real
passenger car. It is very well possible that the platform will also be used for
similar-sized SUV’s for SAIC’s the Roewe and MG brands.
A nice interior with a digital instrument panel and
a large 12 inch touch screen. Lots of leather in various patterns and small
dark-wood panels in the doors.
The Shanghai Maxus D90 will be powered by a 2.0
turbo with 224 hp and 360 Nm, mated to a 6-speed automatic ‘box sending horses to
all wheels. Maxus will offer a five, a six, and a seven-seat
variant of the D90.
