SAIC MAXUS Shenghuojia H90

The SAIC MAXUS Shenghuojia H90 is a Class C motorhome aimed at the premium touring and campervan market. Unlike the brand's van-based V-series (built on a light commercial vehicle platform), the H90 is SAIC MAXUS's first flagship motorhome underpinned by the heavy-duty Iveco Daily chassis. The model is engineered to deliver an elevated long-distance touring experience with its robust powertrain, expansive payload capacity, and comprehensively customised smart living amenities.

Model Overview

Positioned as a large luxury motorhome, the Shenghuojia H90 addresses common pain points seen in conventional domestic motorhomes—such as power deficits during long-distance cross-country journeys and erratic electrical supply—by combining a heavy-duty chassis with intelligent living space. 

Market tags: Class C motorhome, Iveco chassis, all-scenario smart touring, high-output powertrain.

Key highlights: Its primary strength is the large-displacement 3.0T turbodiesel engine. Compared to conventional 2.0T van platforms, the H90 provides far superior reserve power for hill climbs and high-speed cruising when fully laden with fresh water, auxiliary power supplies, and travel gear. Furthermore, it incorporates SAIC MAXUS's signature "RV Butler" system, seamlessly integrating energy monitoring, cabin climate control, and entertainment systems via the central touchscreen and voice control.

Market positioning: With an official price range typically between RM300,000 and RM550,000, it targets serious overlanding enthusiasts demanding robust off-grid capabilities for cross-country expeditions, alongside premium camper rental operators.

Development History

Background: Driven by a growing community of hardcore motorhome enthusiasts, market demand for high-performance 3.0T platforms has surged. SAIC MAXUS introduced the Iveco Daily-based H90 to surpass the payload and performance limits of the V90 and V100, delivering a driving and living experience on par with international Class C motorhome benchmarks. 

Evolution: The H90's development has centred on space optimisation and advanced energy management. From the initial base trim to the subsequent Shuilu Edition and dual-slide-out variants, the model uses modular slide-out compartments (both lateral and rear) to dramatically expand interior living space when parked. 

Key milestones: 

2021–2022: Debuted as the brand's first Iveco Daily-based motorhome, quickly earning acclaim among seasoned campervan enthusiasts for the robust performance of its 3.0T powertrain.

2023 onwards: Received ongoing cabin refinements, enhanced smart features, and a comprehensive overhaul of its electrical architecture (including high-capacity lithium battery banks and solar arrays) to resolve off-grid power stability concerns.

Market Performance

The H90 sits in the top tier of the premium Class C motorhome segment, carving out a competitive edge with its potent powertrain and generous cabin volume. 

Competitive landscape: As an OEM factory-built motorhome, the H90 goes head-to-head with custom Iveco-based conversions from bespoke aftermarket coachbuilders. The H90’s primary advantage lies in OEM-grade build consistency—offering superior wiring integrity, cabin airtightness testing, and full-vehicle factory warranty support compared to aftermarket conversions. 

Customer feedback: Veteran owners frequently highlight the effortless punch of the 3.0T engine, the bulletproof reliability of the drivetrain, and the spacious living quarters afforded by the slide-outs. While its larger dimensions demand more driving confidence than compact Class B campervans, its touring comfort and overall safety have earned widespread praise.

Core Technologies

Powertrain: Powered by a 3.0T turbodiesel engine producing a peak torque of 400 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for seamless shifts, delivering strong towing capacity and sustained pulling power under heavy loads. 

Smart touring ecosystem: Features the integrated MAXUS "RV Butler" system with touchscreen and voice control, managing onboard utilities, ambient lighting, climate control, and one-touch slide-out room deployment/retraction. 

Living amenities: Outfitted with a high-capacity lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery bank, rooftop solar charging setup, multi-stage water filtration, auxiliary diesel heater, fully equipped galley (induction hob, microwave, motorhome-grade fridge), and an all-weather enclosed wet bath. 

Safety: Alongside standard Iveco chassis safety suites such as Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW), the H90 adds an integrated HD dashcam, 360-degree surround-view camera system, and a digital streaming rear-view mirror.

Future Plans

As of June 2026, SAIC MAXUS's plans for the Shenghuojia H90 focus on: 

Energy endurance optimisation: Developing higher-density battery storage solutions to extend off-grid autonomy during remote, off-the-beaten-track expeditions.

Intelligent cabin evolution: Refining energy management via over-the-air (OTA) updates, enabling predictive power distribution based on navigation routes to eliminate unnecessary energy drain. 

Bespoke customisation: Expanding interior trim and layout options on the H90 platform to meet the bespoke styling and layout preferences of luxury touring clientele.
