SAIC MAXUS Star X to Launch, Featuring a Dominant Exterior, Air Suspension + Three Locks, 2.5L Diesel Engine
Following the T series, SAIC Maxus has launched another pickup truck model in the Star, having already marketed models such as the Star and the Star Bull Demon King. Recently, SAIC Maxus released the latest news about a brand-new pickup truck model in the Star sequence, named Star X, which will officially hit the market on December 18th.
The new vehicle features a completely new design style, with a fully passenger-oriented interior design, using a non-ladder frame structure, and high-end models will also provide four-wheel drive and three locks. The all-new diesel power will also be a major highlight; let's take a detailed look.
For the front fascia, the new vehicle's front design is eye-catching, with a large mouth-shaped grille outline, and an internal array of small trapezoidal grille decorations, creating a very domineering visual effect. The headlight design is angular, with L-shaped rims on the outside, and L-shaped daytime running lights, while the inside features a vertical rectangular light group with three sets of rectangular light sources, which have a high degree of recognition when lit. The front bumper is very simple and tough, decorated with a large area of black protective plates.
The side of the vehicle features a brand-new design style, with the A-pillar painted in a hidden manner, and the C-pillar is a car-like large inclination angle design, which echoes the contour of the rear door rear. The biggest difference from common pickups is that the rear box of this brand-new Star X is not a separate structure but an integrated structure with the front cabin. The black large wheel eyebrows use a cutting edge effect, and the bottom of the vehicle is equipped with a black lower protective plate, looking very rugged and tough.
The rear design also has a good sense of design, with the upper part of the rear skirt using a prominent fold design, and the lower part and the rear light connection part use a through-type trim. The rear light shape is very square, with an "8"-shaped light source structure inside, which has a good sense of refinement. The rear bumper has prominent corner shapes on both sides, with a stepping board in the middle. In terms of size, the new vehicle's length, width, and height are 5500 (5610) / 2005 / 1860 (1874) millimeters, respectively, with a wheelbase of 3300 millimeters.
The interior of the new vehicle has a good sense of grade, with a simple and three-dimensional shape layout on the console, a floating dual-screen with chrome frame decoration, and a large area of leather-wrapped decoration on the control panel. The brand-new two-spoke steering wheel has a unique shape. The co-pilot console uses a three-dimensional structure, with a floating armrest and storage platform on the top, and a large storage space at the bottom.
The rear space is a highlight of this Star X; the rear floor is very flat and will also have rear air conditioning outlets. In addition, high-end models will also have a panoramic sunroof.
In terms of power configuration, the new vehicle is equipped with SAIC's brand-new 2.5T diesel engine, with a maximum power of 165kW and a peak torque of 520 N·m, matched with an 8-speed manual-automatic transmission. The new vehicle also uses front double-wishbone independent suspension and air suspension, providing a four-wheel drive system, and the high-end version will also have three mechanical differential locks at the front, middle, and rear.
