00:00Welcome to the video from the Car Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:03Today, it's all about the Maxxis T60 Max, the new diesel pickup from China with which the SIG subsidiary Maxxis wants to shake up the German market.
00:13Up until now, the brand was primarily known in this country as a provider of electrically powered commercial vehicles such as the E-Deliver or the spacious Vanmuffer 9.
00:22The fact that Maxxis is now appearing with a conventional diesel model may come as a surprise to many.
00:27The T60 Max is not only the brand's first non-electric vehicle in Germany, but also a serious challenger to the market leaders Toyota Helix, Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max and VW Amara.
00:41The T60 Max makes a powerful appearance.
00:46An angular radiator grille with a prominent brand logo, broad shoulders and distinctively flared front bumpers make it clear that this is a serious workhorse.
00:57With a length of 5.4 meters and a wheelbase of 3.5 meters, it is on par with the Toyota Helix.
01:04The loading area is about 1.5 meters long and just as wide and can carry up to 975 kg.
01:11In addition, there is an impressive towing capacity of up to 3.5 tons.
01:16Features that should be of particular interest to tradespeople, farmers or adventurers.
01:20Inside, the pickup surprises with its high level of equipment.
01:27The so-called luxury version comes standard with leather seats, which are even electrically adjustable and heated in the front.
01:33A digital instrument cluster with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches displays all the important data, complemented by an equally large touchscreen for the infotainment system including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
01:47Comfort features such as dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry and a 360 degrees camera show that you don't have to do without amenities, even in a work vehicle.
01:58Under the hood is a 2.0-liter V-cylinder diesel engine with B-Turbo, which delivers an impressive 218 horsepower and a maximum torque of 500 Nm.
02:12Power is transmitted via an 8-speed automatic transmission from Transmission Specialist ZF, which is known for its smooth and fast gear changes.
02:19In addition, there is a switchable all-wheel drive with low-range gearing, so that even difficult off-road passages can be mastered.
02:30With the T60 Max, Maxxis is venturing into a terrain that is highly competitive in Germany.
02:37However, with a well-thought-out overall package of utility, technology and equipment as well as an entry-level price of under €48,000, the T60 Max certainly has the potential to lure customers away from the top dogs.
02:49It is a bold step, but one that seems well-prepared.
