SAIC Maxus D90, with excellent ride comfort, has attracted many consumers’ attention, especially the third row. The electrically adjustable independent seats with leg rest, heating, and ventilation functions have a great advantage in the same class. Recently, SAIC Maxus introduced the D90 PHEV, which not only retains the usual advantages of the D90 but also adopts plug-in hybrid technology, achieving a CLTC comprehensive range of 1309km, solving range anxiety. So, which of the 9 models of the D90 PHEV launched this time is the most worthy of purchase? This issue of “Car Buying Guide” will answer for you.
The TSN style rewrite of the text is as follows: Everyone’s 9 Super Hybrid is positioned as a mid-sized MPV, with a total of 9 models launched this time. Except for two high-altitude versions, the rest of the models all adopt a 7-seat layout, with an official price range of 25.99-36.69 million yuan. At the same time, the official also launched 12 gifts for the market, including three electric lifetime quality protection gifts, double deposit gifts, super upgrade gifts, worry-free value preservation gifts, etc. First, a brief description of the models.
In terms of appearance, the 9 Super Hybrid offers two styles of front face to choose from. One is a traditional trapezoidal grille, simple and stylish, appealing to young consumers. The other is a “big mouth” grille with chrome trim, giving it a more powerful look. Both front faces have split-design headlights with standard LED high/low beams for excellent visibility. The side profile is typical of an MPV, with a straight and elongated roofline. The overall shape is square and full. The dimensions are 5270mm in length, 2000mm in width, and 1848mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3200mm. The highlight of the rear end is the taillights, featuring a popular through-style design and branching out into “L” shaped light strips on each side, making it easily recognizable.
In terms of wheels, the four models of the Executive Edition and Prairie Edition come standard with 18-inch wheels, while the rest of the models come standard with 19-inch wheels. The unique design of the 19-inch wheels adds a lot of presence to the side, matched with tires sized 235/55 R19. It is worth mentioning that the four models of the Executive Edition and Prairie Edition can all be equipped with the same 19-inch wheels.
In terms of body color, the 9 Super Hybrid offers 6 color options, including 3 two-tone designs. I personally recommend black/meteor gray, a popular color for both personal and commercial use.
In terms of interior design, the 9 Super Hybrid adopts the popular minimalist style, with most functions concentrated on the triple screen, giving a high-tech feel. The triple screen is standard across the lineup, with a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. The High Mountain Edition and High Mountain Flagship Edition are equipped with MediaTek 8666 chip in addition, providing excellent response speed. The buttons in the car have been changed to touch controls, and the central console is covered with a large area of leather material, ensuring a luxurious interior.
In terms of power, the DS 9 E-TENSE uses a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine and a front-mounted electric motor. The engine has a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 235N·m. The DS 9 E-TENSE is equipped with a 24.7kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and a 39.7kWh lithium battery. The pure electric range under CLTC conditions is 115km and 225km respectively, with a maximum comprehensive range of 1309km.
