What are the common issues with the National 6 Maxus V80?
2 Answers
Common issues include the lack of onboard interfaces, poor vehicle assembly, flawed middle door design with difficulty in opening and closing, excessively heavy middle doors, abnormal noises, substandard quality of some spare parts, and abnormal noises from the front suspension. SAIC Maxus launched the new 2018 wide-body light passenger V80, which has undergone significant upgrades in appearance, interior, and configuration. Below are the relevant details: Introduction 1: Equipped with a 2.5T turbocharged high-pressure common rail diesel engine, with a maximum power of 100kW and a peak torque of 330Nm, meeting the National V emission standards, paired with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed AMT transmission. Introduction 2: The 2018 SAIC Maxus V80 also features SAIC's own internet system, offering many highly practical functions, including intelligent car management, online connectivity, remote control, voice recognition, and more.
After driving the Maxus V80 China VI version for five years in long-distance transportation, several common annoyances stand out. The most headache-inducing issue is the urea system problem, with the dashboard frequently displaying emission fault codes. Cleaning the urea nozzle at service stations has become a routine. Even with a full urea tank, the problem persists, sometimes requiring a complete replacement of the after-treatment system. Another frequent issue is EGR valve sticking, noticeably making the accelerator pedal heavier and overtaking particularly strenuous. Several of us in logistics have noticed the rear suspension tends to cause uneven tire wear, necessitating wheel alignment every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. Additionally, the interior is prone to various rattles, especially the rear compartment ceiling creaking on bumpy roads. Cold starts are particularly problematic in winter, often requiring multiple key turns to ignite. Brake discs also wear out quickly, needing frequent replacements.
