With “State Guest Vehicle” Quality, Showcasing “Made in China” Excellence!
On October 12, the official handover ceremony for the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE) state guest vehicles was grandly held at the Shanghai Exhibition Center. SAIC Maxus, a trusted partner that has served the CIIE for four years, once again took on the crucial role, becoming this year’s official designated vehicle for state guest reception. Nearly 100 units of SAIC Maxus’s “intelligent flagship light bus” New V90 and “exceedingly luxurious hybrid MPV” MIFA 9 Ultra-Hybrid will welcome guests from all over the world during the expo, showcasing China’s high-end manufacturing capabilities with high-standard, high-quality travel services.

The CIIE is known as the “Golden Gateway” to the vast Chinese market, gathering global merchants, presenting international innovations, and showcasing high-quality products from around the world. As an international automotive brand under SAIC Motor and China’s leading light bus brand, SAIC Maxus has continually contributed to making the CIIE even better with its actions. As early as 2018, during the inaugural CIIE, SAIC Maxus’s first wide-body light bus, the New V80, took on its duties with high quality. The following year, the G20 MPV family officially joined the lineup, and subsequently, Maxus RVs transformed into “mobile catering trucks” at the venue, leveraging their versatility. Last year, the high-end all-electric MPV MIFA 9 injected “green energy” into the event. Year after year, these high-quality Maxus vehicles have become a “resident representative” among the CIIE’s service vehicles. This year, the SAIC Maxus light bus family once again sent its “veteran champion,” the New V90, to safeguard the event, with upgrades across power, technology, experience, intelligent driving, and quality, exceeding all expectations. At the same time, the new MIFA 9 Ultra-Hybrid MPV officially joined the “State Guest Vehicle” fleet, bringing a new travel experience to international and domestic dignitaries with its world-class hybrid technology.

Being selected five times as the CIIE’s “officially approved vehicle” is a powerful testament to SAIC Maxus’s strength as China’s leading light bus brand and its globally consistent high quality. The New V90 boasts a maximum power of 130 kW and a peak torque of 420 N·m. The entry-level model comes with a 12.3-inch high-definition touchscreen, featuring over 30 in-car application programs, allowing guests to work or relax seamlessly during the ride. Additionally, with luxurious flagship seats, high-power front and rear air conditioning, electric sliding doors, and electric footboards, the vehicles provide a comfortable and dignified reception experience. The “new recruit” to the CIIE, the MIFA 9 Ultra-Hybrid, is equipped with industry-leading ACIS intelligent all-scenario ultra-hybrid technology, offering a pure electric range of 225 km and a comprehensive range of 1,309 km, minimizing the need for recharging and facilitating frequent transfers without hassle. This system allows 100% pure electric driving in urban conditions, providing guests with a smooth and quiet ride. Furthermore, the MIFA 9 Ultra-Hybrid features the longest wheelbase in its class, zero-pressure first-class seats, and the industry’s first Quapact multi-link independent rear suspension, enhancing comfort during every journey.
