Why Are Used Maxus G10 Cars So Cheap?
2 Answers
Because the Maxus G10 is a niche model with low market presence and high maintenance and after-sales costs. Here is an introduction to the G10: 1. Vehicle Dimensions: The G10 is an MPV model under Maxus, with a wheelbase of 3198 mm, and its length, width, and height are 5168 mm, 980 mm, and 1928 mm respectively. 2. Powertrain: 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 diesel engine delivers 150 horsepower and 350 Nm of maximum torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I drove a Maxus G10 for three years doing ride-hailing, and its low second-hand price is no surprise. In the city, it guzzles at least 13 liters per 100 km, hitting 15 liters in traffic—I was a regular at gas stations. With the third-row seats folded, the floor isn't flat, making it less practical for hauling cargo than a Wuling. It's spacious for airport pickups, though. The biggest headache is parts: last month, the AC compressor broke, and waiting for an OEM part took a full week, with repair costs equaling half a month's car rental for others. Used car dealers shook their heads when appraising it, saying it sells three times slower than a GL8, and finally haggled me down to 40% of the new car price.
