We spoke with you on Friday about Seres 5, the new premium electric SUV Chinese which was presented live from Brussels Fair. The ceremony was celebrated with great pomp to officially mark the brand’s arrival in Europe. Another Chinese model is preparing to join the French market in the coming months: Maxus Myth 9. Maxus is a brand owned by the SAIC industrial group, which also owns the brand MGwhich became a hit in France after its comeback in 2017. Officially presented in Belgium, he still distributed Utilities eDeliver3 and eDeliver9and Pickup truck T90. Now he wants to expand the range with this new model which is a electric minivan can accommodate up to 8 passengers.

A large electric minivan for families

Mifa 9 (family in verlan?) is a a mastodon with a length of 5.27 meters and a height of 1.84 meters. Its silhouette is square and geometric, as usual in Asian vans. Maxus is still attached soften its lines and give it modern attributes. Starting with the front and rear light signatures, which give pride of place to LEDs, in a very original spirit. Its wheelbase of 3.20 m allows maximize internal space, which can be accessed through two sliding side doors. The Chinese brand, in order to please Europeans, took care of its interior, p quality materials and fabrics (tested at the Brussels Motor Show), and a presentation that is truly pleasing to the eye. For a minivan, this is quite rare to specify. He carries a wide screen in the center of the dashboard, and even 220V outlet charge your household devices. Again, this is pretty well thought out.

Soon in France

Its whole feature lies in the engine that it has 100% electric. This happens in the form of motor development 245 horsepowerfor a torque of 350 Nm. Its 90 kWh battery allows it to have the same amount 440 kilometers. Considering the not very aerodynamic silhouette and the weight of 2.5 tons, this is an honorable assessment. For 2023 and its arrival in Europe, a 650-kilometer version would even be in the program! With such autonomy, some large families may be interested, for whom electric SUVs are too cramped. Maxu Mifa 9 is expected to arrive in Belgium in the coming months, with the rest of Europe to follow. In France it is like that Car East France who will take care of the import of this new electric minivan, which will also arrive there later this year.
