Maxus T70


The Maxus T70 is a mid-size pickup truck produced by SAIC Maxus as the successor of the Maxus T60.

History

In early 2019, Chinese media reported that SAIC was testing a new T60 model powered by the new "D20" China/Euro 6 engine, with the new truck being internally called "T60 Plus". At the time, Chinese media outlets presented pictures of the new truck supposedly being tested, showing radical differences in body, pick-up and taillights compared to the original T60.
At the 2019 Auto Shanghai, SAIC Maxus introduced a new pickup truck, the Maxus T70. The truck, as presented at the 2019 Auto Shanghai, is based on the "T60 Cross" model of the T60, as both trucks have identical paint kit and similar accessories. The T70 is the first Maxus pickup to include the new SAIC-GM π engine that will be used in all new Maxus vehicles.

Specifications

The T70 is powered by either a, twin-turbo or, single turbo 2.0 litre "SAIC π" Euro 6b diesel engine, developed jointly with GM and manufactured by SDEC. A six-speed automatic is paired with both engines. The T70 is the first Maxus truck with an electronic power steering system.
The T70 includes a larger set of wheels and 255/55R19 Continental ContiSportContact high performance tires, front guard bars, integrated roll cage, rear trailer bar, two-color interior and new Raptor-style front grill with "MAXUS" lettering.
