Maxus introduces the eTerron 9, a new high-end electric pickup
A familiar design
Maxus, the Chinese manufacturer renowned for its electric utility vehicles in Europe, is set to launch a luxury electric pickup, the eTerron 9. This model, which strangely resembles the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T, was unveiled at the Hannover Motor Show.
Main technical features
The Maxus eTerron 9 measures 5.50 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1.87 meters high. The vehicle’s bed has a capacity of 1,200 liters, with dimensions of 1.56 meters long, 1.50 meters wide, and 53.50 cm high. The front trunk, or “frunk,” offers a volume of 236 liters. This electric pickup has a towing capacity of 3.5 tons and a payload of 620 kg. Its adjustable pilot-controlled suspension facilitates loading by lowering the bed up to 60 mm in “Easy Load” mode.
Spacious and well-equipped interior
Inside, the Maxus eTerron 9 can accommodate up to 4 passengers. The front seats are modular, offering nearly flat beds of 1.70 meters long and 51 cm wide. The vehicle is well-equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a 360° camera, and heated seats. The digital part is managed by a split-screen compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Autonomy and performance
Unlike its predecessor, the T90-EV, the Maxus eTerron 9 has all-wheel drive thanks to its two electric motors, one at the front with 170 hp and the other at the rear with 272 hp, for a combined power of 442 hp. It reaches 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds. The 102 kWh battery offers a range of 430 km and recharges from 20 to 80% in about 40 minutes on a 115 kW fast charger. It also features V2L technology with 2.2 kW outlets distributed throughout the vehicle.
Arrival in Europe and price
The Maxus eTerron 9 is available for order and will be delivered at the end of November in Europe. The announced price is 72,900 euros including taxes, before the deduction of the ecological bonus of 3,000 euros, positioning it at under 70,000 euros. This model promises to compete with vehicles like the Ford F-150 Lightning, which might arrive in Europe, and the Tesla Cybertruck, whose approval on the Old Continent remains uncertain.
