Maxus G10

The 2024 Maxus G10 gets a black-grey interior theme with brown accents. The seats and upholstery are of the same colour. The seats get white contrast stitching. The dashboard is typical among most vans. It still looks good with mostly hard-touch plastic, used to enhance durability. Hard plastics have been widely used in the cabin. A faux-wood panel breaks the hard plastics on the dashboard. A bit classier texture would have lent a more authentic feel. The gearshift is nicely placed and is easy to operate. The dashboard gets a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment screen. The icons are very small and placed on the edge of the screen, which makes operation difficult. There's no Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. There's abundant storage space in the cabin. The rear passengers don't get any USB port. But there are two power ports for charging laptops during long trips.

The 2024 Maxus G10 has a typical van-like design with a short angular nose and large headlights. the rest of the van gets the typical boxy styling that's common to almost all vehicles in its class. Both sides get sliding door for easy ingress and egress, particularly for the elderly. Other features of the minivan include halogen projector headlights, electrically adjustable mirrors with side tur, front and rear fog lamps, front and rear intermittent wipers, and LED taillights. The Maxus G10 isn't the most attractive vehicle in its class. The body is more rounded-looking and carries a more multipurpose vehicle (MPV) silhouette. The bumpers are sporty and lend the van a more family-oriented look. The rear part of the 2024 Maxus G10 gets LED taillights that are nice to touch. The rear spoiler, chrome bar, and the creases make the minivan's rear end more appealing than most of its rivals. The vehicle runs on 16-inch alloy wheels that look nice.

The 2024 Maxus G10 has a spacious cabin. Both the second and third row gets captain's chairs. All seats have great cushioning and offer good back support. There's ample legroom and headroom on all three rows. The first two rows can be slid forward to allow more space. But pushing the second row backward means zero legroom for the third row. The fourth row is a standard bench type with decent legroom for three passengers. Rear passengers on the 2024 Maxus G10 get their own air-conditioning vents with dedicated control for temperature and fan speed. Ride quality is good, with the suspension absorbing most of the bumps and thuds. But like all minivans, the 2024 Maxus G10 rides best when fully loaded.

The 2024 Maxus G10 is hauled by a turbocharged, Peugeot-sourced, four-cylinder, 1.9-litre diesel engine that produces 148 PS/350 Nm. The motor is mated to a six-speed automatic. While the powertrain is a bit sluggish at lower gear ratios, it settles into a balanced cruise on a straight drive. The powertrain isn't refined, and the diesel engine, as expected, sends a lot of vibration into the cabin, particularly while idling.

The 2024 Maxus G10's standard driver-assist features and safety equipment include multiple airbags, a reverse parking camera, antilock braking, all-passenger three-point seatbelts, child-seat anchor points, and parking sensors. It's a fairly equipped minivan in terms of safety.

The 2024 Maxus G10 is an affordably priced, comfortable minivan. It has a spacious cabin that has enough cargo space even when the van is fully loaded. The Maxus G10 is available in multiple trims and two-engine configurations, making it more suitable for aggregators and fleet operators. With nine-passenger accommodation, including the driver, the 2024 Maxus G10 is a worthy family vehicle as well.
