Preben Ven's video: Maxus Euniq Mpv 7 seater test

Here is a test and review of the all electric maxus euniq car. Maxus Euniq MPV will be on the market without more of the modern features expected in an electric car in 2020. At the same time, it has an attractive price tag of 400,000 kroner, and is one of the few electric cars that can accommodate seven people or as much luggage. If you can manage with ranges of +/- 200 kilometers in the winter, and do not require to drive far at 110 km / h on the highway often, the Maxus Euniq MPV can therefore have a lot to offer. The first impression of the car was better than expected, the material choices are generally good (not luxurious), the seats were completely comfortable and the ceiling height was massive. The feeling of space is further enhanced by the panoramic roof. Unfortunately, the Maxus Euniq MPV, as mentioned, lacks essential electric car functions, such as display of battery percentage and outdoor temperature. It should be possible to fix this with a software update. It also does not have the option of presetting heating via the app or directly in the car, nor a heat pump that can save electricity for heating in winter. These points would provide a significant advantage considering that at times it takes a relatively large amount of power to heat the large compartment. In winter, it will therefore be a good idea to turn on the heat, a quarter of an hour before driving, while the car is still connected to the charging box. This routine worked at least in this test. In terms of safety, the car has not been crash-tested by Euro NCAP, but should have received five stars from the corresponding China NCAP - which admittedly does not have as strict test routines. In addition to standard airbags and anti-spin / anti-skid, the car has active safety equipment such as brake assist, blind spot warning, adaptive cruise control, hill start assist and 360-degree camera that provides a good overview of the surroundings. Possibility of a trailer up to 400 kilos is practical, as well as the car has rails and is type approved for roof load (actual weight currently unknown).
