SAIC Maxus MIFA 9 EV

This car has actually been a hot topic in the car enthusiast circle for a long time. It's almost been a month since I picked it up, and I've even experienced issues like the car breaking down on the road, the third-row speakers not working, and the voice assistant randomly waking up on its own. But the most impressive issue is the range problem. Now, I want to give some honest advice to friends who are still on the fence and haven't made up their minds: Don't drive this car on the highway. Don't drive it on the highway. Don't drive it on the highway.

Especially when the outdoor temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius in most of your driving scenarios, never use this car to drive on the highway. Because after setting the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature, even if the car isn't fully loaded with six or seven people, it's really hard to have the confidence to only charge the car once every 300 kilometers on the highway... This is definitely honest advice. Based on my real experience of driving 1,500 kilometers from Beijing to Hunan, it was quite a hassle.

However, if you only use it for city commuting and your city is north of the Yellow River (of course, Northeast China is an extreme environment; I haven't tested it there so I won't jump to conclusions), then this car is definitely amazing!! If you look at my posts in the circle before I went to Hunan, I was the one who hyped it up the most. Because when I commute to work every day in the city, I can either not turn on the air conditioner when I feel comfortable, or set the air conditioner to 23 degrees Celsius with the fan on the second level. In this case, the electricity consumption for my 120-kilometer round-trip commute every day can be around 15 kilowatt-hours!!

For a large MPV of this size, this is definitely an extremely impressive figure, which is really admirable.

That's all for now. For all the car enthusiasts who come to consult me, here are my reasons for recommending the Mifa 9:

It has the largest space in its class.
It has the highest configuration in its class.
It has the lowest price in its class.
It has the weakest brand in its class.
It has the most stable range in its class.
Don't buy it if you often drive on the highway.

The car was bought by the company. I really like its appearance. I chose the lowest version because I'm not quite confident in its intelligence level. I believe that the fewer functions and the simpler it is, the safer it will be. For me, this configuration is sufficient. Later, I went to the 4S store to upgrade the external power discharge function (it was quite troublesome, but it's the lowest - spec model after all). Judging from the mechanic's reaction, it was obvious that I was the first one to come for this upgrade! It shows that there are few people buying the lowest - spec version. As for the power, it would be great if I could turn off the energy recovery. The power in the standard mode is too strong for me, who is used to driving fuel - powered cars. I can't even fall asleep when my colleague is driving. When the temperature is around 0 degrees in winter, after driving 100 kilometers on the highway, there's still 61 - 69% of the battery left (starting from 97%). It mainly depends on the use of the air - conditioner. When the temperature is around 20 degrees, there'll be over 70% of the battery left. So far, I've driven 4000 kilometers and just had the first maintenance. Since I often carry boxes in the trunk, I've pasted a stainless - steel anti - scratch strip on it.

The MIFA 9 is positioned as a full-size luxury intelligent all-electric MPV. The front end of the vehicle features clean and crisp lines, and the closed front face design highlights its new energy vehicle identity. There is a through-type circular light strip on the upper part, and an air guide slot below. The headlight groups are hidden inside on both sides, and silver chrome trim strips are added on the outer sides. The overall front of the car looks youthful and fashionable.

Viewed from the side, the overall lines of the SAIC Maxus G90 are relatively flat, with a simple shape. However, a bright silver chrome decorative strip is inlaid above and below the window. The slender zigzag "Z" shape runs through the entire body, adding visual richness to the side. The sharp lines extend from the front to the rear of the car. Coupled with a vehicle width of exactly 2 meters and an extra-long wheelbase of 3.2 meters, it exudes a powerful presence. The electric sliding doors are highly suitable for a luxury MPV.

The rear of the car appears heavy and stable. The upper glass is privacy glass, and a streaming media rearview mirror is thoughtfully provided. The middle taillights adopt a through-type design, and the ends of the taillights on both sides are bifurcated, with a unique recognition feature.

The interior uses a color scheme of light blue and white, which looks relatively simple and is suitable for family use. There is a through-type triple-screen design behind the two-spoke steering wheel, and it is equipped with a Qualcomm 8155 chip to ensure performance and user experience. For an MPV, the second row is the most prestigious position, equipped with four screens. The front and rear row screens can be linked, and the seat mode can be controlled with one button. This car has a six-seat layout, with ample seating space in the third row, rich functions, and it can also be installed with a child safety seat, providing detailed consideration for family use. The panoramic sunroof above also greatly improves the in-car view.

In terms of power, it is equipped with a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor. For this large vehicle that is 5.2 meters long, the throttle response is relatively brisk, the movement is very smooth, the braking is relatively linear, and the steering wheel has a moderate weight. Unless the driver has an impatient driving style, the vehicle is highly controllable. On the other hand, the vehicle performs well in terms of roll control, suppression of head-up during acceleration, and suppression of nose-dive during braking. Therefore, in most cases, there will be no obvious shaking, ensuring the comfort of passengers during travel. In terms of the chassis suspension, it uses a combination of a front MacPherson suspension and a rear five-link suspension, which has a good filtering effect on bumps when driving on unpaved or potholed roads. The overall driving and riding experience is inclined towards comfort.

In terms of configuration, it is very luxurious. Positioned to serve both family and business use, it is truly not just an empty slogan. Whether it is used to receive clients or family members, it is both presentable and well - thought - out.
