Summer vacation is a suitable season for travel, although the weather is a little hot, but the long light time, can let us fully immerse ourselves in nature, enjoy the joy of summer, and choose a suitable car for the whole family can make the journey more comfortable and comfortable.
Before MPV, a 7-seater SUV was the first choice for many large families. Perhaps in the traditional cognition of the Chinese people, the business attributes of the MPV are stronger, and the SUV is more like a family car, but the innate structure determines that the SUV is difficult to have a spacious third row, whether it is seat comfort or absolute space, the third row of the SUV can often only cope with the needs of the short distance, not the "true 7 seats".
Slowly, people found that if they wanted to solve this problem, they still had to rely on an MPV that could make the whole family satisfied. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that the MPV market is on fire, and new models are on the market. In contrast, the SAIC Maxus MAXUS G90, which was launched in April this year, has become a "rising star", but the price of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan is comparable to the enjoyment of 400,000 and 500,000, but it has a more latecomer advantage.
01
"Big" is its first feeling
As I said just now, Chinese prefer the living conditions of large families, and the frequency of use of the rear of the vehicle is much higher than that of other countries and regions, so Chinese seek "big", not only for face, but also for real needs. As the highest positioned model in the current brand matrix, the "big" of the G90 is shown to you in the most direct way from the first sight of it.
Everyone knows that the ceiling of the MPV world is now a Lexus LM, but if nothing else, the huge grille of the G90 front face alone is obviously a few sizes larger than lexus. The internal texture is staggered in a "V" shape, and to be honest, from a commercial point of view, the G90 looks luxurious and stylish enough, but if it is more home-oriented, it will still give people a certain sense of oppression.
The G90 has a body length of 5280/1998/1845mm and a wheelbase of 3200mm. Compared with the MPV of the same level, it has a good advantage in length, width and wheelbase. The large size directly brings a large space, the whole family travels together, the family sits comfortably, and the luggage is full. Even when full, it is still easy to put down a 32-inch, two 26-inch and a 20-inch suitcase.
The model of the "Steam Pull Talk" test drive is a more conventional 2+2+3 7-seat layout, the seat is covered with Nappa perforated leather, and the texture on the seat is also quilted, and the visual effect and actual touch are very advanced. At the same time, the second and third rows of seats support the movement of the front and rear slides, which can achieve a variety of layouts such as large seven seats and even four seats, with a net height of 1300mm in the car, and you can change the sitting position you want on a long trip.

Details reflect "everyone is a VIP"
In addition to the absolute guarantee of space, the G90 also hides many small details that care for all the families in the car. In fact, when the electric sliding door is opened, you will find that the auxiliary handle of its B-pillar is very long, and with the two-step step, the elders do not need to worry about the inconvenience of lifting their feet, and the children do not need the help of their parents.
In addition, the comfort of the two one-piece aviation seats in the second row naturally needless to say, the equipment is also directly stacked, it can be said that you can think of the functions it has, the unexpected functions it also has. These functions are all integrated into the small screen of the armrest, the leg rest alone has a 4-way adjustable, and there is a foot pedal under the front row, where you can relax wholeheartedly.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the regular driver's seat memory preservation, the two seats in the second row of the G90 can also remember the screen information and seat posture of the current occupants, which means that if you need to move from the left to the right, it can directly synchronize this information, saving you having to readjust it yourself.
The third row of the 7-seater model is the integral seat, and the material of the seat cushion, the length of the seat cushion and the comfort are all consistent with the second row, not only can be moved forward and backward, but also the backrest angle can be adjusted to a certain extent. Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience the 6-seater model this time, because its third row also has ventilation/heating and leg rests, which is really called "everyone is VIP".
03
Safety is the most important thing to do when traveling
The surprise for this car is much more than that. In the chat with the engineers, I learned that the interior and operation of the G90 were developed in accordance with the concept of electric vehicles, so most of its functions were concentrated in the three large screens of the center console (strictly speaking, there is also a voice interaction screen on the far right). In addition, you won't find any physical buttons, and even the fire-off buttons are placed on the screen.
As for starting the vehicle, only the driver needs to step on the brakes, but if you want to start it, you must fasten the seat belt to release the electronic handbrake, which is the ambassador of safe driving in the automotive industry. Speaking of safety, the G90 is the first medium and large MPV to meet the three five-star collision safety standards of C-NCAP, Euro NCAP and ANCAP.
The excellent results are due to its closed-loop frame structure, with high-strength steel accounting for 80%, which is the first line of defense against impact forces when collision is inevitable, while the standard 4 airbags and 2 side air curtains covering the front, middle and rear rows, and the first front-row distal airbags in the same class are the second line of defense.
Of course, no one wants an accident to happen, because even a small scratch can affect the mood of the whole journey. To this end, the G90 vehicle uses 7 high-definition cameras, 5 millimeter wave radars, supplemented by a TI intelligent driver assistance chip with 16TOPS computing power, which can achieve the L2+ level of driving assistance including ACC, ICA, LKA, etc., and add an important layer of protection network for the family.

The man's preferences are also in place
Then the whole family has been arranged, as the man who is responsible for the driver, naturally also needs to have an abundant power system to meet himself. In this regard, the G90 is equipped with SAIC's latest 2.0T turbocharged engine + 48V mixing system, the maximum power is 234 horsepower, the combined maximum torque reaches 390 Nm, and the zero hundred acceleration of 9.6 seconds is already quite impressive in this class.
In terms of the actual driving experience of "steam talk", the G90 has a relatively high driving quality and texture in the entire family, after all, this positioning is placed here. The overall performance of the 2.0T+48V+8AT power combination is very smooth, although there may not be much driving passion, but it will not make people feel "meat", as long as they are willing to give oil, they can still get good power feedback.
One thing to say is that because the width of this car is close to 2 meters, in order to alleviate the bulkiness in the field of vision, the G90 has a very large triangular window on the A-pillar, which is a very important improvement for reducing blind spots and improving driving safety.
For the comfort level, this car is definitely a very high level of work, the front McPherson, the rear five-link independent suspension, coupled with FAD shock absorbers and high-strength hydraulic bushings, can effectively absorb and filter the bumps and vibrations on the road, not stiff, nor drag mud with water, the whole drive down is still very easy.
Finally, I want to say that now the domestic MPV models are slowly developing towards high-end, and it is obvious that the G90 is also running in this direction. So in order to get more cakes on this plate, in addition to the price and configuration, the grasp of business attributes and the meticulousness of home users are the greatest sincerity of it.
