"Choice is more important than hard work", many times we choose the right model not only to make the money more worthwhile, but more importantly, in the five, ten or even longer use cycle, let yourself and your family have a firm companion, gentle support of the partner in every sunrise and sunset, various weather changes to accompany every important moment of our life.
When it comes to models that can accompany the whole family's happy moments, MPVs are definitely the best. Which MPV meets the needs of most Chinese consumers? The price is not high, the product is safe and reliable, and the comfort performance meets the needs of the big family? The new generation Maxus G10 is a very worthy option to consider.
Why should you look at the "old manufacturers" when choosing a car?
A few days ago, I chatted with a neighbor who planned to change the car, and when I talked about choosing a car, the neighbor's eldest brother's "obsession" with the old big factory seems very reasonable to me. The big brother with an industrial background fully affirmed the design creativity of the new forces, but when it came to manufacturing, he showed a considerable degree of caution. Excellent industrial workers and production systems are not PPT, and no matter how good a "high-rise building" is, it is difficult for people to fully trust without time polishing, especially in a product that is related to the happiness of countless transportation participants. From this level, SAIC MAXUS's new generation G10 is reassuring enough.
▲SAIC Maxus G10 series models have experienced many big scenes
Since its launch in 2014, the Maxus G10 series has experienced a lot of big scenes with its excellent quality, showing the style of "state-guest quality". The continuously updated Maxus G10 series models have sold a total of 180,000 units so far.
Although there is still a long way to go from the sales of one million vehicles, many car owners have already witnessed the quality assurance of millions of kilometers. On the Chase G10 forum, we can see the personal experiences of many netizens: the sunrise and sunset of the Mohe River, the desolation and majesty of Taklamakan River, the Azerbaijan Old Town and the prehistoric petroglyphs of Kobstan, the majestic St. Basil's Cathedral and Red Square, the hot air balloon flying in Cappadocia and the beautiful coastal road in Antalya, the snow-capped mountains and seas of the Georgia, the unique style of the Caucasus, the classical and modern Iran, the leisure of Pattaya and the splendor of the Grand Palace, and the Armenia where the ark docks...... Mr. Zhu, the owner of SAIC MAXUS G10, not only let us appreciate many breathtaking scenery, but also witnessed the reliable quality of SAIC MAXUS G10 during the vast journey. Similar stories have been repeatedly swiped on forums and social media.
Compared with the "top technology" and "extreme performance" at the propaganda level, this kind of safe and stable quality may not be so impactful, but for thousands of users and families, this is the most important quality.
As a model exported to Australia and South America in large quantities, the G10 adopts a unified 10-year non-corrosion and anti-corrosion standard for the body at home and abroad, with a galvanized sheet utilization rate of 25.8% and wax injection in the body cavity; The engine piston connecting rod set can increase the service life by 16.7%, and the piston ring adopts ultra-low tension and low friction coating to improve the service life; The five-link rear suspension can effectively balance the maximum full load capacity of 3000KG and the best design of rear passenger riding comfort, and the rear axle and spiral shock absorbing springs can withstand the extreme operation of the vehicle for 1 million kilometers...... Officially, these invisible investments have allowed generations of G10 to accompany owners through every spring, summer, autumn and winter, and at the same time, they have also accumulated thousands of reputations.
The all-new G10 has been upgraded with improved comfort and quality
The all-new G10, which was launched not long ago, not only integrates the glorious tradition of its predecessors, but also upgrades the exterior, interior, and configuration. Among them, the G10 MAX model has brought the driving experience to the "MAX" level.
Positioned as a mid-to-large MPV, the G10 MAX deserves the title of "MAX" in terms of space, with a body size of 5,198/1,980/1,928 mm and a wheelbase of 3,198 mm. You may not have an intuitive concept of this size, let's compare it with the GAC Trumpchi M8 Lingxiu of the same level.
From the table, we can see that in terms of body size, the G10 MAX has certain advantages in every link. Of course, the advantages don't stop there, as the G10 MAX is the only model in its class to choose a 9-seater version. For extended families and friends in the travel industry, this choice makes it more versatile.
The ample space not only allows for 9 seats, but also gives you a lot more freedom to adjust between seats. According to official data, the G10 MAX has a seat pitch of 1150mm in the first row, 1295mm in the second row, and 900mm in the third row. At the same time, the second and third rows are designed with ground rails, which can adjust the passenger and luggage space to the greatest extent. There is a lot of luggage, so let's arrange the riding space to be compact, and with very little luggage, we will try to release our legs to stretch our bodies and minds, and we can easily cope with different scenes.
Whether it is a business reception scene, you need to sit with 9 business elites in straight suits; It is also a small group of travel agencies that picks up 6 tourists with 1 driver; or 4 friends stuffing the trunk with skiing and camping gear; Or parents who are waiting for their children's interest classes to put down the rear seats to relax and lie down...... The G10 MAX has you covered.
Of course, in addition to a wide variety of seat configurations to meet many different needs, the G10 MAX also has a lot of upgrades in terms of comfort. First of all, the seat material, in addition to the visible to the naked eye from the coarse leather grain to fine leather grain, improves the luxury of the car, but also improves the comfort of the touch to a certain extent. In addition, the interior padding of the G10 MAX seats is constructed with 5 layers of comfort materials to provide a soft-touch feel while providing support for long rides.
In terms of function, as an MPV with a positioning bias towards the mid-to-high-end, the driver's seat has 8-way electric adjustment + 4-way electric lumbar support + 3-speed heating function, the second-row full-function VIP seats, and the third-row seats can be selected in a variety of layouts. It is easy and comfortable to ride and drive.
The concept of "everyone is a VIP" is reflected in many SAIC Maxus models, although it cannot be completely unified in terms of function, but in the third row of G10 MAX, we also see independent air conditioning outlets, and cup holders, USB charging ports are readily available, and there is even a third-row exclusive sunroof to bring "sunshine equality".
In addition, the G10 MAX is equipped with an electric anti-pinch side sliding door that is second to none in its class, and it is reported that the supplier of this set of functions is Aisin, so it is not surprising that the opening and closing are quiet and run smoothly.
Of course, other comfort functions are not ambiguous, such as the new electronic pocket gear, wireless charging of mobile phones, electric trunk with location memory function, panoramic image and other functions, you can check in the configuration table and choose according to your needs.
How important is "good driving" to an MPV?
There is no doubt that the core of the MPV is not in the driver's seat, and drifting and cutting are by no means in the applicable scenarios of MPV models. Although passionate driving is not the focus of MPV, stronger power can be used to overtake more neatly and more stable performance in emergency avoidance. At the same time, the less "meaty" driving experience will more or less bring a little emotional value to the driver. The G10 MAX is also an industry leader in this regard.
If you value high torque, long life, low fuel consumption, and low emissions of a diesel powertrain, the G10 MAX should be the only choice in its class. The reason why G10 MAX has this diesel version, most likely because of export needs, overseas demand for diesel models is relatively more, this set of SAIC 2.0T π turbocharged diesel engine that has won the title of "top ten engines" has a maximum power of 120kW, a maximum torque of 375N·m, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.46L.
The form of ZF 8AT gearbox + electronic pocket gear is the same as that of many luxury models, and the design of the pocket gear is really good for use. Shifting gears is quick and easy, without having to look down, allowing the driver to always pay attention to the road conditions ahead, which also improves safety to a certain extent.
This power system has performed quite well in many of SAIC's products.
The gasoline version of the model also won the title of "China's Top Ten Engines", the latest generation of SAIC Blue Core 2.0T high-performance engine, with a maximum output of 192kW and a maximum torque of 410Nm·m. Compared to the previous generation engine, the performance is improved by 16%, and the fuel economy is improved by 5%. There are still very few 2.0T engines that can achieve this level.
Cadillac said: "No rear-wheel drive, no luxury", all models of the G10 MAX are rear-wheel drive, but this setting has little to do with luxury. Generally speaking, when the center of gravity of the vehicle accelerates, the friction of the rear wheels will be significantly higher than that of the front wheels, which will lead to the traction and traction performance of the rear wheel drive is much better than that of the front wheel.
The structure of the rear-wheel drive also makes it easier to improve the handling and stability of the body. The power output of the G10 MAX of up to 410N·m is also easy to cause torque steering and loss of control when placed in the ordinary transverse front-wheel drive structure, and taming the "performance beast" rear-wheel drive is a more suitable option.
At the same time, when the MPV model is "fully loaded", the vehicle standby bears a greater load, and the rear-drive MPV is more suitable for full load travel. In addition, the shift of the center of gravity backwards when the vehicle is going uphill will lead to reduced front-wheel adhesion, which will also give the driver more confidence in this scenario.
To sum up, if it is just one or two people who ride, then there is not much difference between the front-wheel drive and the rear-wheel drive, and the cost of the front-wheel drive is lower, and it is more affordable to buy. However, if it is often fully loaded, or the slope is undulating, then the advantage of the rear-wheel drive model is a little greater. But then again, if it's often just one or two people, there's no need to choose an MPV.
Security details
Speaking of safety, SAIC MAXUS's performance can be described as "outstanding achievements", in the Euro NCAP test, which is known for its rigour, many models of SAIC MAXUS have won awards such as "five-star safety certification" and "annual safety light bus". In the Australian market, the 9 and T60 have also obtained the ANCAP five-star safety certification, and the G90 and D90 have obtained the ANCAP and C-NCAP double five-star safety certification.
When it comes to the G10 MAX specifically, there are a lot of designs that we don't so easily notice that are silently guarding the user's safety. Sitting in the driver's seat of the G10 MAX, you will find that the field of vision is relatively wide, and the manufacturer's information shows that the G10 MAX adopts a 360° surround view vision design method, which minimizes blind spots and effectively improves driving safety.
At the same time, the design of various buttons in the car, including the pocket gear, is in line with the ergonomic design and operation logic, and you can "blind operation" after a little familiarity, and you don't have to distract yourself from finding the buttons during driving.
In addition, in order to improve side impact safety, the G10 MAX adopts a thicker side bottom member and increases the height of the side member to make the occupants safer.
The G10 MAX also adopts the latest ESP system provided by Bosch to comprehensively improve driving safety. RMI anti-rollover assist system, EBA emergency brake assist, HDC emergency brake assist and other functions also provide a more comprehensive guarantee for travel safety.
Write at the end:
For most families, what "top technology" and what "extreme performance" is not really that important. Excellent quality and suitable price are the foundation, on this basis, who can give consumers more comfort and consideration, safety and comfort, and meet the needs of more different scenarios is more important. The starting price of the new generation G10 is only 108,000 yuan, which is affordable for most families, and the top model armed to the teeth is only 189,800 yuan. After ten years of polishing, the new generation of G10 has been continuously upgraded to create a model that is affordable, affordable, flexible and comfortable to meet the diverse needs of Chinese consumers. Friends who plan to buy an MPV model must experience, see, try and then make a decision, and don't regret missing this model.
