KUALA LUMPUR 18 Nov. - Maxus T60 has set out to establish a new benchmark for safety and equipment level in 4x4 pick-up trucks with the introduction of so many industry firsts.

Rated with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, the MAXUS T60 is packed to the brim with safety features and it's the only 4x4 pick-up in its class to offer front and rear ventilated disc brakes and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Weststar Group Executive Director, Datuk Vikram Menon said, his team wants to offer customers a vehicle that is fully-equipped in every sense of the word, one that extends to both lifestyle and commercial applications.

"The Maxus T60 is unique because it ups the ante in the 4x4 pick-up truck segment in terms of safety and convenience with the introduction of so many class-leading features.

"At Maxus, the commitment moving forward will not only be to introduce BIG value for money propositions, but as we speak, efforts are already underway to invest in the growth and expansion of our after-sales service network nationwide," he said in a statement today.

The Maxus T60 comes equipped with a Bosch Electronic Stability Program that integrates the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Traction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist (BA), Roll Movement Intervention (RMI) for greater stability and traction at high speeds or in emergency avoidance maneuvers.

The RMI recognizes the threat of an impending roll over and intuitively applies the brakes to resist and return control and stability to the vehicle. 

The vehicle is also fitted with Hill Start Assist Control (HAS) to prevent back rolling and slippage on inclines, and Hill Descent Control (HDC) for steep declines.

Safety in the MAXUS T60 is further reaffirmed with front and side airbags, automatic headlight adjustment, rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, two Isofix anchorage points, and Blind Spot Assist (BSA) on its side mirrors that is activated from 30km/h.

The MAXUS T60 is also the only vehicle in its segment with fully electric adjustable front seats with 6-way adjustments for the driver and 4-way adjustments for the front passenger seats. 

There are up to 21 storage areas within the vehicle for greater convenience and in total, the Maxus T60 boasts an overall cargo volume of 1,188 litres.

He added, other trims that come standard with the Maxus T60 include a push start function, automatic air-conditioning, an aluminium luggage rack, a stainless steel roll cage, side steps, chrome-plated door handles, chrome-plated electric folding mirrors and fog lamps.

"At RM99,888, the MAXUS T60 reaffirms its position as the most affordable fully-equipped 4x4 pick-up truck you can currently buy in the market.

"Nearly RM20,000 cheaper than its nearest competitor, the MAXUS T60’s price tag of RM99,888 (without insurance and road tax), makes it a BIG value for money proposition for both commercial and lifestyle applications," he added. - DagangNews.com
