Urea should be added when the level drops to 20%. A full tank of urea can last for approximately 2,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about the SAIC Maxus V80: 1. Exterior: The domestic Maxus V80 features a dual sliding door design and adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. 2. Configuration: Standard equipment includes ABS+EBD, while the high-end version comes with additional features such as a reverse radar, tire pressure monitoring system, GPS navigation, rear heating, and auxiliary air conditioning. 3. Powertrain: Equipped with a 2.5L diesel engine delivering a maximum power of 88Kw/4000Rpm and peak torque of 300Nm/2000Rpm, paired with a Hyundai WIA five-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the Maxus V80 China VI version for a while now, and as a daily transport driver, I've noticed that the frequency of urea addition heavily depends on driving habits. Generally speaking, I need to add urea solution like AdBlue every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers on average. My vehicle has a urea level indicator on the dashboard—consumption is slower during long highway trips, but in city stop-and-go traffic, the warning light might come on around every 7,000 kilometers. I remember the first time I ignored it, the engine power was automatically limited, and performance dropped significantly. I had to rush to a service station to buy a 20-liter canister to refill it. Now, I always keep a bottle in the trunk. It's not expensive, but maintaining regular additions keeps the emission system working properly and reduces repair costs. I recommend checking the owner's manual and monitoring usage based on actual driving conditions—don’t wait until the warning light comes on. Safety first.
