I've driven SAIC Maxus vehicles a few times before and feel it's a pretty good domestic brand, belonging to SAIC Group, with the full name being SAIC Maxus. This brand mainly focuses on commercial vehicles and MPVs, with models like the G10 and G50 being quite popular. During my test drives, I found the space to be exceptionally large, the ride stable, and the fuel consumption not too high, making it especially suitable for long-distance travel or family outings. It originally evolved from the British MAXUS brand and has flourished in the Chinese market after being acquired by SAIC, offering great value for money. Some logistics companies or travel groups love using it because it's durable and affordable. I've also heard it's exported overseas, quite international indeed, and recently launched new energy versions, like electric vehicles, which are very practical under the trend of environmental protection and energy saving. In short, as a car owner, I find SAIC Maxus vehicles easy to handle, with low maintenance costs, suitable for everyday pragmatists, and choosing it doesn't come with much pressure.
