Maxus D60 Elite, Pro variants offered with discounts this month

Chinese vehicle importer Maxus Philippines is one of the car brands in the local market that has been continuously expanding its model lineup. After launching the G50 MPV, Maxus PH is setting its sights on entering the midsize SUV segment with the D60 launched in February 2021. Measuring 4,720mm long, 1,860mm high, and 1,736mm high on a 2,760mm wheelbase, the Maxus D60 is offered in Elite and Pro trim levels that can seat five and seven occupants, respectively. Under the hood, the Maxus D60 shares the same 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine that delivers 167 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, with power managed by a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

The Maxus D60 price in the Philippines is between Php 1,240,000 and Php 1,338,000. Lowest monthly amortization starts at Php 13,837 over a period of 60 months with a downpayment of 50 percent. Rivals in its segment include the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and Geely Azkarra.

Maxus D60 Launch

The Maxus D60 is a vehicle that took design cues from the Tarantula Electric SUV Concept, which SAIC Maxus previewed at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show. The Philippine-spec Maxus D60 is offered with a seven-seater or five-seater configuration. The new Maxus D60 competes with segment rivals such as the Honda CR-V, Chery Tiggo 8, and Geely Okavango, among others.  

Maxus D60 Exterior

The exterior of the Maxus D60 is aggressive, bold, and striking. The front end is fitted with a massive grille that’s integrated with chrome trims. One of the things that you’ll also notice on the D60 is its muscular bumper. Turning to the side, the D60’s muscular appeal continues to be seen through its wide wheel arches as well as sharp character lines. On the other hand, the rear comes with sleek design cues as seen on the D60’s taillights and spoiler. Moreover, the D60’s bold look is finished off with a large bumper.

Maxus D60 Interior

Inside, the Maxus D60 comes with a dark interior theme. The top-spec Elite variant features leather seats while the Pro trim has fabric seats. Both variants of the Maxus D60 are fitted with an 8-inch infotainment system as well as Bluetooth connectivity. The D60 Elite variant offers seating up to seven individuals while the Pro trim only comes with a five-seater setup.  

Maxus D60 Tech & Safety

The 2024 Maxus D60 is fitted with an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen that offers Bluetooth connectivity. It also has a reverse camera, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, and a push start button. The D60 also features several safety features that you would expect from a modern crossover SUV. Among the safety features integrated into the vehicle are: dual front and side airbags, stability control, a tire pressure monitor, an Electronic Stabilisation Program, a Parking Sensor, cruise control, a multifunction steering wheel, and ISOFIX.

Maxus D60 Platform & Chassis

The Maxus D60 comes with a MacPherson suspension at the front while it has a Multi-link independent suspension at the back. In terms of braking power, the D60 comes with ventilated discs at the front and solid discs at the back.

Engine & Drivetrain

Under the hood, the Maxus D60 Philippines shares the same 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine that’s found on the G50 MPV. At the most, it can make up to 167 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. Power is then managed by a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

The Maxus D60 2024 is available in six colors: Competitive Orange, Polar Ash, Warm Argent, Warm White, Wace Red, and Metal Black.

Similar to the Honda CR-V, the Maxus D60 2024 comes in either five- or seven-seater variants, offering customers added flexibility when deciding between passenger or cargo space. However, the D60 is only available with a gasoline powertrain, comprising a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It also comes only as a front-wheel-drive variant, compared to the CR-V and Geely Azkarra. The D60 makes use of an 8-inch touchscreen for communications and infotainment, but it does not offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compared to some of its competitors.

For safety, the D60 brings the usual complement of features such as front and side airbags, stability control, anti-lock brakes, and electronic parking brakes. However, it does not have driver-assist features unlike the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and Geely Azkarra.
