The SAIC MAXUS Interstellar X serves as the flagship large off-road pick-up truck within the "Interstellar" pick-up line-up. Engineered with uncompromising performance in mind, this model is designed to usher in a new era of premium off-roading for Chinese pick-up trucks through all-round breakthroughs in powertrain, chassis dynamics, onboard technology, and safety.
Positioned as a premium large off-road pick-up truck, the Interstellar X seamlessly combines hardcore overland capability with passenger-car-grade comfort. Notably, its "True Passenger Version" overcomes conventional pick-up regulatory hurdles through a bespoke body configuration and passenger vehicle homologation, granting it unrestricted nationwide road access, a 6-year vehicle inspection exemption, and exemption from the 15-year mandatory scrappage rule.
Market Highlights: Large off-road pick-up truck, Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating, unrestricted nationwide road access, all-scenario ADAS, trailer assist.
Product Positioning: Standing as the range-topping model with the highest technical specifications in the family, it is primarily targeted at discerning enthusiasts who demand extreme off-roading, long-distance caravan towing, and premium outdoor lifestyle experiences.
World-Class Safety: It is the world's first and only Chinese pick-up truck to be awarded a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, securing the top overall score under the stringent 2020 testing protocols and earning the title of the "safest pick-up truck".
Overcoming Road Access Restrictions: Addressing the limitations typically faced by commercial pick-ups, the Interstellar X True Passenger Version adopts a fully enclosed rear cargo bed design and passenger-car homologation. This thoroughly eliminates urban driving bans and mandatory scrappage issues, delivering SUV-rivalling practicality and convenience.
Intelligent Driver Assistance: Fitted with an industry-leading Trailer Assist system, the vehicle automatically manages steering inputs to execute intelligent reversing manoeuvres when hitched to a caravan, significantly easing the learning curve and effort required for towing.
