This is the final production version of the Shanghai Maxus D90 SUV, fitted with a different grille than the blue car we saw earlier on. The
Maxus D90 will be launched on the Chinese car market in October.
Shanghai Maxus is a brand under the Shanghai
Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC). SAIC bought Maxus from the British LDV Group in 2010.
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.
The Maxus D90 will come in five and seven-seat
variants. Big car with 5005/1932/1875 mm dimension, wheelbase is 2950 mm and curb weight is 2180
kilo.
Engine is a rather juicy 2.0 turbo with 221 hp and
360 nm, mated to a 6-speed automatic ‘box sending horses to all wheels. Top
speed is claimed to be 185 km/h. All that bigness and power makes it a thirsty
car: fuel consumption is claimed to be 9.2 liter per 100 kilometers.
The rear looks nice until the black bumper. The
shiny ensemble with the pipes looks odd. Fortunately, Maxus will also sell you
other bumpers, depending on spec level.
