This vehicle's engine brand is produced in-house. The current engine options include a 2.0T displacement (jointly developed by SAIC Internal Combustion Engine, Germany, and Italy, featuring an all-aluminum engine, direct fuel injection, DVVT, and second-generation turbocharging) and a Mitsubishi 2.4L displacement. Transmission: ZF (Germany) 6-speed automatic transmission, WIA (Korea) 6-speed manual transmission. The SAIC Maxus G10 engine brand is independently developed by SAIC: 1. The SAIC Maxus G10 uses the D19 diesel engine, which is independently developed by SAIC Group and meets Euro 5 emission standards. 2. This engine was first applied in 2012 to the MG6 model under SAIC Motor, which was launched in the UK. The engine has a maximum power output of 110Kw and a maximum torque of 350Nm. 3. In terms of overall performance, this engine has reached the level of world-class diesel engines. Additionally, its NVH performance has significantly improved, breaking away from the previous technological backwardness of domestic diesel engines and helping SAIC products enter developed European markets.

SAIC Maxus engines are developed in-house, primarily using the π series diesel and gasoline engines. For example, the π 2.0T diesel engine is used in the G10 commercial vehicle, delivering strong power and smooth acceleration. I've driven my friend's G50 a few times, equipped with the π 1.5T gasoline engine, and its fuel consumption is well-controlled, averaging 6-7 liters in the city and even more economical on highways. With SAIC Group's strong background and technical collaboration with General Motors, the engine quality is reliable and comparable to those of international big brands. Regular maintenance, such as timely oil and air filter changes, can extend its lifespan. Buyers often praise the high cost-performance ratio, making it suitable for both family use and cargo transport. The engine can be slightly noisy during cold starts, but overall operation is smooth and uniform, making it highly recommended.

I've driven SAIC Maxus vehicles for years, equipped with their in-house developed π-series engines like the π1.8T diesel, widely used in V80 commercial vehicles - fuel-efficient and durable. In real-world driving, it offers quick acceleration response and stable high-speed performance without vibration. SAIC has solid engine technology foundations. Though not an independent brand, their collaboration with GM ensures quality. Maintenance is straightforward with readily available parts at low cost. My actual fuel consumption tests show around 8L/100km in urban areas, quite economical. Avoid overloading and frequent hard acceleration. Overall, it's a reliable and practical choice for business operations or family trips.

My vehicle is the SAIC Maxus T70 pickup truck, equipped with the π2.0T diesel engine, which offers strong power, excellent load capacity, and great off-road performance. SAIC Group manufactures its own engines, and the π series is not a standalone brand, but the quality is reliable with high cost performance. It drives smoothly in daily use with reasonable fuel consumption. The maintenance intervals are long, and it is not prone to breakdowns.

From a professional perspective, SAIC Maxus engines are independently developed by their group under the π product line, including the π1.5T gasoline and π2.0L diesel engines, which are used in SUVs like the G50 and D90. Technically, they incorporate turbocharging, delivering stable output with high thermal efficiency and precise ECU control. Common issues include occasional sensor false alarms, but repairs and replacements are not complex. Designed with Chinese road conditions in mind, they offer strong durability. They outperform domestic brands and are on par with joint-venture counterparts. Regular cooling system checks are recommended to prevent overheating.
