Maxus G90: generations, engines and what to check when buying
The Maxus G90 is a large MPV designed for families and business customers. In this article, we'll look at the G90's purpose, generations and what to check when buying a used G90.
G90 at a glance
The G90 is a spacious, large MPV that can accommodate plenty of passengers and luggage. It's aimed at families, business customers and passenger transport, where more space and comfort are needed than in compact models.
Maxus is the commercial and passenger vehicle brand of the Chinese SAIC Motor group, whose roots trace back to the British LDV company. The G90 is one of the larger passenger models from the brand, primarily aimed at the Chinese market.
Which version to choose
The G90 is offered in several versions that differ in terms of equipment and seating layout. Be sure to check the specific versions and gearbox according to the car's year and market.
The used market in Lithuania is virtually non-existent, so you'll often have to buy an imported car. Pay more attention to the paperwork and the car's compliance with EU regulations.
Engines and gearboxes
The G90's gearbox depends on the version and year. Check the specific power, engine type or battery capacity according to the car's documents.
Before buying, test-drive the car on a real route, check the gearbox, brakes and suspension.
What to check when buying a used G90
First, establish whether the car was officially introduced to the European market or imported from elsewhere. Check that all registration documents are in order and that the car meets the requirements for use in Lithuania.
Start the engine cold: there should be no unusual noises, smoke, or fluid leaks. Test the gearbox at both low and high speeds, and check the brakes, suspension, and steering system.
Find out if there is an authorized service center or another mechanic familiar with the brand, and how accessible spare parts are. Ask for service records and check if manufacturer recalls or software updates have been carried out.
