How Capable is the Maxus T90EV Electric Pickup? Load vs Economy & Offroad

[@davidmarshall5596]

This is one mean looking machine! The noise as everyone is commenting on is something you would get used to after a period of time...coming up Lindale laden was effortless & that's some pull up that stretch of road.! Like how you said Ben the gravel tested your 'range' 🤔 them bags of gravel are bloody heavy 😳 really like the front of the pick up..very aggressive & says 'I'm coming through' excellent review as always planet auto 🚘 💯

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you for the kind words, David. It’s amazing how many people have been surprised by the fact that at low speeds, this pickup sounds like any other EV, lol! Seriously though, it’s going to be interesting to see where the T90EV goes. *A

[@davidleesin112]

i would only hope they quel some of that emotor whine, other than that really nice look in & out

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s not noticeable driving normally, just at low speeds, thank you David

[@gregrobinson1564]

You got the scoop with this one. No one, with the exception of dealers, has done a review of the T90. You've madame question if I need 4x4. Length of load bed disappointing, I usually go for a super cab.

[@PlanetautoUK]

We have, bottom-line is they’ve converted the diesel to test the market- similar strategy to ZS EV, makes you wonder what’s next if it’s popular, thank you Greg - just worked out Madame, yes we were impressed on how well it coped off road

[@SheepShearerMike]

Another month on, and still the only review, and on some proper terain too, well done.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Mike, did you see the new Maxus pickup 4x4 unveiled at the Shanghai motor show, that’s a game changer

[@SheepShearerMike]

Nope, I did see the one at Fully Charged Live, but it was the same as this one. Someone mentioned the face lift version, so was that at Shangai? I might have to Google it.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s a completely new platform, it looks a beast

[@georgedaville4662]

Great review of a very capable pick up. If this is an EV conversion of a diesel to get to market quickly, what will their fully developed EV pick up offering be like ? Very honest appraisal of a an excellent EV pick up.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you George, that’s exactly our thoughts, exciting times

[@Td5Northwest]

Seems rather reliable very dubios about the electric vehicles for work vehicles be intresting to see how they are developed in the foreseeable future

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes, currently they have certain applications we’ve an e-Vito on test soon, we’ll let you have a look, thank you The Green

[@seanmcardle8196]

As a farmer who's driven l200s and Hilux for years and 4 wheel drive is needed on a regular basis so I don't care how good the ride height is rear wheel drive will not be enough.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Best bet is test one and see how it copes, and 4x4 dual motor are on the way Sean.

[@philipwoodford6286]

Dual motor and 4x4 I’d sign up today for one!

[@PlanetautoUK]

They’re in the pipe line new chassis the lot, this is impressive as it’s 2WD and there are some great deals currently, don’t write it off before test driving it Philip

[@philipwoodford6286]

@@PlanetautoUK thank you! I’ve requested a test drive at a local dealer certainly ticks a lot of boxes for me and a nod of approval from my wife!

@philipwoodford6286 sounding good, have you seen our other video?

[@gregrobinson1564]

I know this is an okd video now. But I recently tried to book a test drive of the T90ev and was told they aren't any, the only stock is what dealerships have and no more coming. I suspect they are clearing the decks for the new model, with 4x4? Will it be the GST? Or the Interstellar? The Interstellar looks very much like the T90/T60 with a heavily revised interior.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Oh random, we have one booked for a month in August, I expect we’ll see the 4x4 in Autumn, we”ll see what we can glean, thank you Greg

[@PlanetautoUK]

Ps which dealer was this please?

[@gregrobinson1564]

[@gregrobinson1564]

Parkers Guide last week had a story that the 4x4 would be a diesel.

[@gregrobinson1564]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYvHomqLadCKkK8si=bhHd-QP8_2kwf6bf Is this the T90 Mk2? Big changes to the dash.

[@williamarmstrong7199]

Looks very intresting. We would love to see a 7 seater no flatbed version. Make a good taxi.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Hmm, interesting - lots coming from Maxus, including Mifa MPV, thank you William

[@haroonahmed2178]

What is the roller you got on this?

[@PlanetautoUK]

I think it was Truckman, i’l see if I can verify that though Haroon

[@itspart]

Looks ok But Usless as a commercial vehicle..... a 10 year old hilux would handle better carry more go anywhere. And tow more + all 3 at once and you could drive 400 miles in-between fill ups.... I'll save my money 💰 😂

[@PlanetautoUK]

As would a numerous other vehicles, however for what it is, it does it’s numerous tasks well, and deals with ULEZ challenges too.

[@Ian_Woods]

what a horrible noise

[@PlanetautoUK]

It sounds like virtually every other ev, and you can’t hear it whilst driving.

[@Ian_Woods]

@@PlanetautoUK Really!, Never heard that on any other EV.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Even our intro sounds similar…

[@williamarmstrong7199]

​@@Ian_Woodsit's a predestian warning sound that only cuts in below 29mph. Above that speed the tyre noise is sufficent to warn cyclists etc that the vehicle is coming. This sound is a legal requirement.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Spot on it seems to get lower over 20, thank you William

[@davelhughes77]

Expensive chocolate fireguard. #ClimateScam

[@PlanetautoUK]

This or all electric vehicles?

[@davelhughes77]

@@PlanetautoUK Probably some cheap EVs out there. My 2018 Hilux has 180k miles on the clock. Can tow WITH kit in the back, won't get stuck. 750 miles in a weekend = easy. Plant food comes out the tail pipe! Not made using child labour. If the maxus is the future of pickups, then the value of mine is going up like a classic Ferrari. So its a no brainer, buy a Hilux, avoid this woke crap.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Carry on the bed - what weight whilst towing? Which country are you in?

[@SheepShearerMike]

Don't forget that same child labour digs the same cobalt to take the sulphur out your diesel. It wouldn't surprise me that in a couple of years the next Hilux will be electric, now Toyota are catching on to the future.

[@PlanetautoUK]

They’ll all head this way eventually, Isuzu, SSangYong etc

[@MrHaribo1983]

That's sounds horrible

[@PlanetautoUK]

The electric sound?

[@MrHaribo1983]

Yeah not a fan of that. Like the truck tho

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s the law, and wise it’s loud externally, we didn’t notice it particularly in the cabin, thank you Craig
