Is there really a shortage of high-end brands in China's auto market? When encountering this direct soul problem, presumably many riders will subconsciously answer "lack", after all, "independent brand high-end famine" has long been no secret.
But Xiaobian will tell you today that there is actually no shortage of high-end brands in China. As an example, maxus, which focuses on the "high-end MPV market", has released MIFA 9, G20 PLUS, EUNIQ 7 and other high-end MPV, whether it is fuel or new energy, it is involved. However, compared with the "full-level" product layout, the total sales of its entire MPV in 2021 is only 45146 units, which is even less than a fraction of the Buick GL8.
According to the official information, SAIC Maxus MAXUS G90 has now opened pre-sale, with a pre-price of 230,000-350,000 yuan. The new car was originally scheduled to be officially launched on March 31, but due to the impact of the epidemic, the listing time has been adjusted.
Is domestic high-end play really a "dead end"? In order to verify that your judgment is correct. A few days ago, SAIC Maxus MAXUS once again ushered in a new high-end SUV - G90, the pre-sale price of the new car has not yet been announced, is expected to be officially launched on March 31. So, what is the product performance of this highly anticipated model? Today, let's find out.
As a G90 positioned as a medium-sized MPV and a high-end design, it reveals a sense of exuberance in its design. The large chrome grille, the deflector groove wrapped in chrome trim, and the iconic "L" LED headlights all create a strong business atmosphere. In addition, the front shovel, which is decorated with chrome trim strips, responds well to the sense of sportiness.
The MPV model is basically the same as the side design, which is basically a straight design + chrome plating + a wide body, with a more intense bloated feeling. The G90 is different in that it creates a silky texture through a reasonable transition between the front face and the side, with the help of polylines and chrome elements. In particular, the chrome trim around the windows is very effective. The tail design is relatively simple, and the "Y" shape corresponding to the front face runs through the tail lamp, which is highly recognizable.
As a fuel version of mifa 9, the G90 has the same interior design. The large conjoined screen that runs through the center console gives people a strong "new energy flavor". The contrast between the materials and colors in the car is also quite authentic. The front and rear double sunroof design fully considers the needs of users and passengers.
In terms of size, the G90 has a length, width and height of 5280/1998/1845mm, and a wheelbase of 3200mm. In the domestic market of "big is beautiful", this is like a nuclear bomb on the ground, basically hanging Buick GL8, Odyssey, Alexandre and other veterans of the joint venture camp, which belongs to the solid T0 tough products.
In terms of configuration, not much information is known at present, but according to MIFA 9. It will be equipped with more than ten kinds of auxiliary driving functions, including automatic parking and full-speed domain adaptive cruise, to help users better grasp this "big guy". The 64-color mood light, JBL audio, and 10-inch rear entertainment screen pull the car to the MAX value, perfectly matching the business-style appearance. In addition, the G90 uses a six-seat layout, each with a relatively independent space, and has a comfortable configuration such as leg rest, armrest, electric adjustment, heating (sure enough, a large space is willful). The electric sliding doors necessary for high-end cars are also arranged, making it convenient and quick to get up and down.
In terms of power, the MAXUS G90 will use a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine + 48V light hybrid system, with a maximum power of 234 horsepower and a maximum torque of 390 Nm, matching aisin's 8-speed automatic transmission, with an acceleration time of only 9.6 seconds from 0-100km/h. In contrast, the maximum power of the Buick GL8 is 234, and the maximum power of the Trumpchi M8 is 252 horsepower, which basically reaches the mainstream level.
At last:
From the perspective of Chinese users, the MAXUS G90 can be said to be a "perfect work". The appearance is online, the interior design is simple, the technology configuration is up to standard, the power output is stable, and the space is large and rich. As a local, SAIC Maxus knows the favorite of chinese people very well. But this does not mean that the G90 will win a big victory, in order to "balance" domestic consumers, the price is definitely the most important threshold, and we also expect it to have more preferential prices.
