Easy car original in the new wave of the current sweep, if we pay a little attention, we will find that in fact, it is not only the way of travel that has been changed, in the foreseeable future, the car as a carrier is changing to the pursuit of extreme efficiency and environmental protection, and this change is irreversible, once the era of fuel vehicles brought to us "large displacement", "off-road", "control" This very fun feeling is transforming into "smart", "digital" these higher needs. Personally, this change is difficult to say whether it is good or bad, but like most fans and friends and authors, it is inevitable that there is a thought of reminiscing about the past.
But what makes the author happy is that with the relaxation of the pickup truck "into the city" policy in 2016, and then to the official national document in 2020 to fully encourage cities below the prefecture level to open pickup trucks into the city, the new trend of returning to the "pastoral era" is gradually being released, more and more consumers have a strong interest in pickup trucks, which are both practical, cost-effective and playable, and the market demand is increasing day by day, and the representative works are the Great Wall Gun and SAIC Maxus T70.
The Great Wall Cannon can be said to be the forerunner of the pickup truck market, and has gained 100,000 users in one year of listing; SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 is in full bloom in the domestic and overseas markets, and has been well received by many consumers. In this issue, we will make a comprehensive comparison of the two cars to see whether it is "after the wave beats the front wave" or "power is axiom"!
The two pickup trucks are 100,000-150,000 yuan this grade of models, so in order to make the comparison more fair, but also more practical significance for consumers, this comparison of the choice of the same price model, not only are automatic gears (SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 automatic gear is more cost-effective), and equipped with a four-wheel drive system. (Hereinafter referred to as: SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 and Great Wall Gun).
First look at SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70, in terms of appearance, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 does not use the traditional pickup truck as rough design, large size of the blackened net with the surrounding thick chrome decorative strips, the inside of the net is pasted with the "MAXUS" logo, fashion atmosphere is strong. At the same time, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 also adopts a more sporty lower bumper design, and the entire front face successfully creates a young and sporty visual sense.
Looking at the Great Wall Gun, as can be seen from the figure, the exterior design of the Great Wall Gun is still in line with people's consistent cognition of pickup truck models, and the same is the use of a large-sized middle net design, but the lower bumper of the Great Wall Gun adopts a "relatively conservative" design method, and the huge black protective plate can strengthen the protection of the paint when off-road, making the Great Wall Gun more hardcore off-road flavor.

In the headlights part, the two real-time models use a combination of halogen near and far light sources + LED daytime lights, which is comparable, but in other configurations, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 has more headlights and front fog lights than the Great Wall Gun, which is more sincere in the case of the same guidance price.
On the side of the body, the most conspicuous difference between SAIC Maxus T70 and the Great Wall Gun is that the former has an additional set of roof racks, which is not only more coordinated in visual effects for models such as pickup trucks, but also very practical. In addition, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 supports "spider customization", including guardrail forms and other equipment can be freely selected, with a higher degree of personalization.
It is worth mentioning that the two cars also highlight different tendencies in the use of tires. Let's look down.
The SAIC Maxus T70 uses a multi-frame rim with a specification of 255/60 R18, branded from hankook dynapro hp2, which is an economical and durable tire that performs well in terms of silence, fuel saving and wear resistance; on the other hand, the Great Wall Gun uses a six-spoke rim with a specification of 245/70 R17, and the brand series comes from CHAO YANG SU318, which focuses on off-road passability and wetland safety.
Coming to the rear, the most conspicuous sign on the SAIC Maxus T70 tail box is the "4×4" logo, yes, this is a four-wheel drive model; in addition, on the side of the car, SAIC Maxus T70 is also equipped with 3 sets of devices similar to fixed cabin objects, this small detail for consumers who love pickup models, will undoubtedly improve the favorability.
The rear design of the Great Wall Gun looks relatively "plain", although it is also a four-wheel drive model, but there is no sign about the four-wheel drive at the rear.
Then we look at the interior, SAIC Maxus MAXSU T70 uses a traditional "T" shape layout, the interior style is mainly practical, but the double-color layout still gives SAIC Maxus MAXSU T70 a grade; in addition, including the center console, the inside of the inner panel and the metal trim added to the steering wheel, so that the interior of the SAIC Maxus T70 is more like the interior style of an SUV, and the audience is wider than the Great Wall Gun.

But in general, the interiors of the two cars are mainly practical, and there is no overly fancy design, which is also in line with the positioning of pickup trucks.
In the car machine part, both cars have adopted a large size of the central control screen design, UI interface design is decent, but the functional level of both have reached the "just need" standard, including mobile phone Interconnection, multimedia system and Bluetooth phone and other configurations are not absent, of which SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 also joined the intelligent voice assistant, the degree of intelligence is higher.
Then we make a summary of the configuration differences between the two vehicles, it can be found that saic motor Maxus MAXUS T70 in addition to having a more exquisite design, it is actually closer to the passenger car attributes at the configuration level, such as automatic air conditioning, induction wipers, external rearview mirror electric adjustment / heating such as high-frequency use configuration in daily life, it is equipped, and in turn look at the Great Wall Gun, dwarfed in comparison. Therefore, as far as the car environment of most domestic consumers is concerned, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 as a pickup truck, its attributes will be closer to home than the Great Wall Gun.
Both pickup trucks are long cargo box versions, and the length of the car is more than 5 meters 6, of which the SAIC Maxus MAXSU T70 has an advantage in length and width, while the Great Wall Gun is better in body width and 3470mm between axles; so who is better in terms of interior space and cargo box practicality of the two vehicles?
