In the eyes of outdoor enthusiasts and off-road users, if you can only have a car, you will definitely choose a "hardcore off-road" that can cross the mountains and walk the world, but with the landing of the National Six policy, such models have begun to become less and less cherished goods, and the models to be recommended today are more "unpopular" in the eyes of ordinary people, but they can really go south and north models, they are Isuzu MU-X, SAIC Maxus D90 Pro and Nissan Tuda.

Exterior dimensions
Appearance is not important, can be pretended to be powerful
Off-road vehicles have a very important indicator that can be "loaded", because once it involves long-distance crossing, the need for supplies must meet the journey, in addition to eating and drinking, there are fuel supplies, which is a very test of the loading capacity of the car.
SAIC Maxus D90 Pro has 5, 6, 7 seats three optional space, its length, width and height are 5005 mm, 1932 mm, 1875 mm, the wheelbase reached 2950 mm, if you put aside the 7-seat car, the 5-seat and 6-seat version is definitely the most capable model, the huge trunk to accommodate 2-3 people's long-distance luggage is definitely not a problem.
The Isuzu MU-X is also available in 5- and 7-seater models, with a length, width and height of 4830 mm, 1860 mm and 1830 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2845 mm. Although the body is slightly shorter than the SAIC Maxus D90 Pro, with a length of 4.8 meters, it is definitely a behemoth, and it is natural to load what you need for the next trip.
Nissan Tuda is close in size to the Isuzu MU-X, with a length, width and height of 4882 mm, 1850 mm and 1835 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2850 mm. In my opinion, Nissan Tuda has an advantage, that is, there are no 7 seats to choose from but only 5 seats, which indirectly "helps" users make choices and allows users to enjoy the huge trunk space.
In general, if there is a hard demand for 7 seats, you can only choose SAIC Maxus D90 Pro and Isuzu MU-X, while if it is more of a 2-seater trip, then 3 cars are very good choices.

dynamical system
Diesel has a big advantage, and gasoline suffers a loss
The powertrain gap between the three vehicles is very obvious, of which the Isuzu MU-X only has a 1.9-liter turbocharged diesel engine, while the SAIC Maxus D90 Pro has two sets of diesel and gasoline powertrains, and Nissan Tuda is more depressed, only equipped with a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine.
From the perspective of power and fuel saving, the diesel engine will undoubtedly have more advantages than the gasoline engine, but the gasoline engine is not all without advantages, gasoline cars in all cities in the country can be licensed, but in Beijing and other places diesel cars are restricted to the brand, which is also the reason why many off-road enthusiasts lament that is good but cannot buy is good.
SAIC Chase D90 Pro is equipped with a 2.0T diesel engine, the maximum power of 160 kilowatts, peak torque of 500 Nm, in the same displacement, SAIC Maxus D90 Pro engine is indeed very powerful, to know that the diesel engine famous is Isuzu, its 1.9T engine is only 122 kilowatts and 360 Nm.
In terms of gasoline engines, Nissan Tuda's 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 142 kilowatts and a peak torque of 245 Nm, although the power is larger, but in the case of torque play, which is highly valued when off-road, Nissan Tuda lost to two diesel engine players, and once the situation of towing a caravan appears, Nissan Tuda basically does not "measure up".
The SAIC Maxus D90 Pro is also equipped with a 2.0T gasoline engine, with a maximum power of 160 kilowatts and a peak torque of 350 Nm, which can solve the problem of branding in Beijing and other regions, so that friends who like SAIC Maxus D90 Pro can buy as they wish.
From my personal level, if a hardcore off-road vehicle has a diesel engine, I personally recommend giving priority to the diesel engine, because it can get better performance in fuel consumption, power and endurance, and it is really not possible, the gasoline engine is not an object that cannot be selected, but in general, I will be more inclined to the diesel engine.

Retrofitted pan-outdoor
International products have great advantages
Once it comes to off-road projects, modification is inevitable, and an international, wide-coverage product can naturally have a larger market, and natural modification products will also have more.
For example, nissan Tuda and Isuzu MU-X are widely sold in Australia, Thailand and other regions in addition to being listed in China, and their native models belong to the pickup truck category, and the two cars have strong versatility in some modifications. Although saic motor chase D90 Pro is also sold to Australia and other places, but because the sales volume is relatively small, the user recognition is relatively low, so its modified products will be relatively small.
But this is not a thing, because for off-road is very important chassis lift, front bar, etc., the three cars are extensively modified, but in some extreme products such as shock absorbers, springs and other components, SAIC Maxus D90 Pro will be significantly inferior to Nissan Tuda and Isuzu MU-X.
For people who buy such cars, the first thing to do after buying a car is to install a second auxiliary fuel tank to enhance its range, and this auxiliary fuel tank product, the current SAIC Maxus D90 Pro has no accessories; followed by the replacement of a front bar to enhance the approach angle, while expanding the lighting interface and winch position, but unfortunately SAIC Maxus D90 Pro has not found a suitable factory accessories.
SAIC Maxus D90 Pro is a model with a very strong off-road background, but when it comes to off-road modifications, its configuration is indeed too small. Nissan Tudler and Isuzu MU-X have a very rich range of modification accessories, and even have corresponding upgrades for ECU programs.
If there is not much pursuit of extreme off-road, then the strength of saic motor Chase D90 Pro is absolutely the best, but if you want the car to break through various challenges, then isuzu MU-X and Nissan Tuda have a very huge space for modification. However, due to policy reasons, some regions can only choose Nissan Tuda, and Nissan Tuda's weak 2.5 liter power has also become a reason for many consumers to abandon it, when will the M9T diesel engine jointly developed by Nissan and Renault be installed on Tuda?
