I've driven this Maxus G20 before, and it's equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, model name 20L4E, with about 218 horsepower. The power is quite impressive—it just takes off when you step on the gas. On the highway, acceleration is smooth without any lag, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that shifts seamlessly, unlike some older cars that jerk. Fuel consumption is decent, averaging around 9-10 liters per 100 km, which is quite economical for such a large MPV. Maintenance hasn't been an issue either; just regular oil changes at the service center—no hassle, and it's reliable, so no worries about breaking down on long trips. Compared to competitors like the GAC Trumpchi M8's engine, the power delivery is even more explosive, but the Maxus G20 has better sound insulation, making the cabin quieter.

When choosing a car for family trips, the SAIC Maxus G20's 2.0T gasoline engine proves to be practical. It offers stable starts and doesn't consume excessive fuel even in city traffic, with an average fuel consumption fluctuating between 9-11 liters per 100 km. With the air conditioning on, it stays within 12 liters, making it wallet-friendly for family use. The spacious interior comfortably accommodates a family of five without feeling cramped, and the trunk has ample room for several suitcases. The low engine noise is a favorite feature of mine, as it doesn't disturb children sleeping in the car. Safety features are up to par, including ABS and electronic stability control. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring a check every 10,000 km at a reasonable cost, making it suitable for working-class families. On a long-distance trip, it handled uphill drives effortlessly, showcasing its comfort-oriented engine tuning, unlike the bumpy ride of SUVs.

The older cars used to have naturally aspirated engines, which were noisy and fuel-thirsty. The current Maxus G20 has made significant improvements, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that delivers ample horsepower while running quietly and smoothly. During my test drive, it felt effortless, with precise steering and decent fuel consumption—around 8-9 liters per 100 km in daily driving, even more economical on long trips. The seats are soft and comfortable, preventing backaches during long journeys. The engine and transmission are well-designed, making uphill driving effortless, ideal for retirees like us who enjoy leisurely drives or shuttling grandchildren. In terms of reliability, it hasn’t had any major issues over several years of use, and routine maintenance is hassle-free. Compared to the old Santana, it’s a world of difference—technology advancements are truly considerate.
