Common faults of the SAIC Maxus G10 include the built-in large screen mobile phone connectivity not working, front and rear wobbling of the driver's seat, the anti-pinch function not working, seats being too high (especially the front passenger seat), unresolved deviation issues, inaccurate fuel consumption display on the dashboard, and the automatic headlight adjustment not functioning properly. Below are specific details about the SAIC Maxus G10: 1. Body dimensions: The Maxus G10 measures 5168mm in length, 1980mm in width, 1928mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3198mm. 2. Powertrain configuration: The Maxus G10 is equipped with two engines: a 1.9-liter turbocharged diesel engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. The 1.9-liter turbocharged gasoline engine delivers 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6AT transmission. The 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine produces 218 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, matched with a 6AT transmission.
I've been driving the diesel-powered SAIC Maxus G10 for a while, and common fault points mainly focus on the engine system. The DPF filter and turbocharger are prone to issues, especially after short urban trips - DPF clogging can cause power loss or warning lights, requiring highway driving to clear soot. Injector carbon buildup is another frequent problem, particularly when using low-quality fuel long-term, leading to unstable idling or weak acceleration. EGR valve sticking affects emission control and may even cause overheating. Sensor failures like false readings from temperature or speed sensors occasionally trigger starting difficulties. If not addressed promptly, these faults may impact overall performance. Regular professional DPF inspections and engine cleaning are recommended for prevention, as proper diesel vehicle maintenance can save considerable trouble.
As a car owner who values driving experience, I've noticed some common minor issues with the SAIC Maxus G10 diesel version. For instance, the DPF system frequently indicates blockages, especially after prolonged driving in congested areas, leading to reduced power output that can only be resolved by high-speed driving to increase RPM. Turbo lag is noticeably pronounced during acceleration, with a delayed throttle response that sometimes requires seal repairs. Cold starts are particularly problematic in low temperatures, likely due to fuel system delivery inefficiencies. Electrical glitches occasionally occur, such as false alarms triggered by sensor misreadings, which can be fixed with a simple restart. While not critical, these issues affect comfort. It's advisable to develop good driving habits, like avoiding frequent short-distance start-stop cycles, to minimize the occurrence of faults and ensure smooth journeys.
