SAIC Maxus is actually the invisible king in the domestic RV market. In addition to its own production of B-type and C-type RVs, it has a firm voice in the vehicle market, and more importantly, Chase’s chassis is also widely used in many other domestic RV companies as the basis for modification. According to statistics, Chase’s chassis has more than half of the domestic market share.
In April 2019, SAIC MAXUS launched the latest V90 commercial vehicle chassis. There is no doubt that a large number of domestic RVs in the future will be produced based on this car.
One of the most dazzling features of the V90 is that it meets China VI B—the most stringent emission standard in history. I believe that in the next few years, there will be no more worries about switching to national emission standards.
From the outside, the V90 still has a big change compared with the V80, and the body lines are more rounded. The size of the body is 940*2110*2525mm, the wheelbase is 3760mm, it adopts full-disc brakes, and the front axle MacPherson rear axle is non-independent suspension with 3 leaf springs.
With the development of the times, the headlights have also been upgraded. The car is equipped with ESP+AEB emergency braking system, LDW lane departure warning system, ACC adaptive cruise system, TPMS tire pressure monitoring system and basic reversing image and radar.
The center console has finally returned to tradition, no longer all in the center like the V80. Perhaps after the ingenious design of the V80, after actual use, it is found that the most reasonable layout is the instrument panel behind the steering wheel.
The automatic transmission joystick located on the center console has a shifting form of 6AT, and the gears are P, R, N, and D from top to bottom. The configuration of V90 is particularly rich, with AT, AMT and MT three gearboxes to choose from, whether it is RV, passenger or freight users can choose the gearbox that suits them according to their special needs.
The LCD screen is located in the center in a suspended manner. Chase has always taken intelligence as its core selling point. In the words of the manufacturer, “This car is equipped with an intelligent network connection system, supports the opening of the data platform, and provides nearly a hundred kinds of intelligent services such as remote control, intelligent voice, and on-board WeChat, bringing unprecedented online services. experience”.
The standard Bosch 9.3 system, a camera is installed at the rear of the central rearview mirror, the car is equipped with ESP+AEB emergency braking system, LDW lane departure warning system, ACC adaptive cruise system, TPMS tire pressure monitoring system and basic reversing imagery and radar. Overall, the Chase V90 has a complete range of active safety configurations.
The engine on the V90 is a power system installed for the first time on a van, and it is a benchmark power for Chase. This engine is called “SAIC π”, and the engine displacement is 2.0T. The reason why it is named “π” is because “π” is an infinite and non-repeating number, which also means that the engine has unlimited potential.
This engine has two versions: twin-turbocharged and single-turbocharged. The positioning of the two engines is different. The single-turbo engine is aimed at the transportation of passengers with a small load, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 375 Nm. Twin turbines are used for transportation with heavy loads such as freight.
And the chassis also provides both front and rear drive forms. Chase’s Spider Smart Selection platform can provide as many as 100,000 model combinations, allowing everyone to easily customize an exclusive wide-body light passenger. At the same time, it also provides personalized modification services to users in various special industries.
Undoubtedly, with the launch and gradual spread of V90, the domestic RV industry will also be upgraded in the future, and RVs with V90 chassis will appear in front of friends soon.
