The Maxus D60 SUV by SAIC-MAXUS is positioned in the medium-sized SUV category, offering a seven-seat layout, with a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine mated to a seven-speed DCT under its hood. This setup generates a decent 159hp and 250Nm of torque.
The vehicle is now available now at Auto Class Cars, the authorised general distributor of Maxus in Qatar, at its showroom on Salwa Road.
MAXUS D60
Based on the rigid line inherited from the design of SAIC MAXUS concept car TARANTULA, the Maxus D60’s massive octagonal grille up front features a honeycomb-like design. This is flanked by aggressive-looking swept-back headlamps as well as a pair of sporty fog lamps. The full LED split matrix headlights with the style of the big dipper and the penetrating LED diamond taillights echo with each other.
The body structure adopts a closed-loop frame structure, significantly increasing the car’s overall safety level and rigidity. The ratio of high-strength steel accounts for 65% and the ratio of ultra-high-strength steel reaches 25%, making the whole vehicle caring for the driving journey as an iron bastion.
As a mid-sized SUV for family, it considers more on practicality in the interior design. A large area of soft material is used above the centre console to highlight good texture. The D60 also gets a gigantic eight-inch infotainment display up front, complemented by a 14-inch full LCD digital instrument panel. Its dome panoramic sunroof allows a sunroof area of 1.1 sqm and lighting area of 0.86 sqm, providing a bright driving space.
A subsidiary of Nasser Bin Khaled Holding, Auto Class Cars introduced Maxus in the 2016 Qatar Motor Show as a leading Chinese auto maker producing quality passenger and cargo vans. Formerly known as Leyland DAF Vans (LDV), Maxus is part of the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC).
Maxus D60 and the full range of Maxus vehicles are now available for viewing at the Auto Class showroom on Salwa road, Sunday to Thursday, from 8 am until 9 pm.
