Maxus MIFA 9 launch. After all, it can be considered a niche model, an EV MPV from a relatively unknown brand (while Maxus has been around for a few years, sales have been on the low side), one that is fully imported as a CBU, with no CKD localisation plans mentioned.
Yet somehow, the event was attended by none other than prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim plus four other ministers. That’s a total of five cabinet members at a car launch. It’s purely speculative for now, but this suggests that the MPV could well be in the running to be used as the next official vehicle for local ministers.
Budget 2024 that government official car procurement will move towards EVs next year. The Maxus MIFA 9 is a strong candidate for the ministerial slots, given that it would be a like-for-like replacement for the current fleet of Toyota Vellfires, and an MPV would fit better as a chauffeur-driven government VIP vehicle than a Tesla.
A quick recap of the Maxus MIFA 9. It measures 5,270 mm long, 2,000 mm wide and 1,840 mm tall, with a wheelbase that spans 3,200 mm, making it slightly larger than the latest Toyota Alphard and Vellfire, which are 5,005 mm long, 1,850 mm wide, 1,950 mm tall and have a 3,000 mm-long wheelbase.
The detailed specifications of the powertrain are as follows:
- Electric motor output: 245 PS (241 hp or 180 kW) and 350 Nm; FWD
- 0-100 km/h time: 9.2 seconds
- Top speed: 180 km/h
- Battery: 90 kWh ternary lithium-ion
- Range (WLTP): 435 km (Luxury); 430 km (Premium)
- AC charging: 11 kW (Type 2); 5-100% in 8.5 hours
- DC charging: 120 kW (CCS2); 30-80% in 30 minutes
