What encouraged Sandico to buy a Maxus G10 with Assist Package is the model’s swivel seat. This variant-exclusive feature allows his 95-year-old father to get into the van safer using a remote control functionality or through a smartphone via an iOS app.

As a result, driving around town is now easier and hassle-free. The Sandico family is able to make important trips more comfortably such as attending to COVID-19 vaccination schedules and occasional trips from their hometown in Pampanga.

More comfort features that await inside include its spacious 9-seating configuration in leather upholstery with four captain seats. It is also equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen radio with six speakers for entertainment on the go.

Under the hood, the Maxus G10 is a 1.9-liter turbo diesel common rail engine that is capable of generating 150 hp and 350 Nm of torque. The engine sends power to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Aside from the model itself, the Maxus G10 owner also commended the professionalism of the Maxus Quezon Avenue dealership when it comes to after-sales services by saying:

“The Maxus dealership personnel have performed exceptionally well and efficiently. Despite the limited manpower as a result of strict quarantine protocols, they would call, even from home, to remind and inform us of the scheduled preventive maintenance service for our G10 van.”
