Will the inability of pickup trucks to enter cities and the 15-year scrapping rule become a thing of the past? A disruptive revolution regarding pickup trucks’ freedom of travel is entering the countdown! On August 7, SAIC MAXUS will launch the first off-road pickup that can travel freely across the country – the Interstellar X True Passenger Version, ushering in a new era of all-scenario freedom for pickup trucks.
The core breakthrough of the Interstellar X True Passenger Version lies in that it can enjoy passenger vehicle privileges while retaining the hardcore genes of pickup truck models. For users, this means: no restrictions on personal license plate registration, access to the 6-year inspection exemption policy, no 15-year mandatory scrapping limit, free highway travel during holidays, and so on.
The confidence for such freedom stems from its “capable of wildness” hardcore strength. In terms of power, the new vehicle is equipped with a 2.5T diesel engine + ZF 8AT gearbox, which can output a peak power of 165kW and a peak torque of 520N▪m; in terms of space, it features a “versatile magic cabin” built based on the original factory design, with a closed top cover for the rear bucket to ensure safety, and a basic volume of 1200L that can be expanded to 3000L; in terms of safety, it inherits the Euro NCAP five-star rating, and the “Star Bridge Architecture” balances comfort and off-road stability.
