Tires on Maxus V80 Plus (Махус)

The commercial van "Maxus V80 Plus" has been in production since 2020, representing the result of a large-scale modernization of the V80 model from 2011. It is distinguished by a motor range, more modern electronics, and an expanded line of versions, which has led to a certain departure from the original concept. If the standard V80 was a utilitarian vehicle, then the Plus is a more comfortable and technological solution for performing a larger number of tasks. The model received an updated front body with a different radiator grille, modernized optics, and a more "passenger-like" interior design. The manufacturer paid significant attention to sound insulation, the quality of finishing materials, and reducing vibrations from the engine.

Technical Features

One of the key features was the wide variability of execution options - standard and extended wheelbase, three body heights, cargo and passenger modifications. To a large extent, this was due to the layout with front-wheel drive, which greatly simplified the search for engineering solutions and allowed the floor to be placed lower, thereby increasing the volume of the cargo compartment.

The rear doors open at an angle of up to 255 degrees, depending on the version, and the sliding side door has a large opening, which is especially important for courier services and mobile workshops. The cargo space volume reached 11.4 cubic meters. For the commercial segment, this is one of the main arguments of the model: even in the basic versions, the V80 Plus is capable of transporting bulky equipment without the need to switch to a heavier class of equipment.

The main technical difference between the "Plus" and the regular V80 was the transition to more modern power units. If the early versions of the original model were more often equipped with a 2.5-liter diesel engine VM Motori with a capacity of 136 horsepower and 330 Nm, then the updated modification received a 2.0-liter turbo diesel from SAIC. Depending on the market, its power ranged from 127 to 139 horsepower, and the torque reached 330 Nm. The new engine meets more stringent environmental standards, has a lower noise level, and reduced fuel consumption.

The base versions were equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, but later modifications received a 6-speed "mechanics" and a 6-speed robotic transmission. It was the transition to "six-speed" that significantly improved the behavior on the highway: the engine began to work at lower revs, the noise decreased, and the fuel consumption on long routes approached the indicators of European competitors. Compared to the standard V80, the modernized transmission provides a smoother acceleration and less load on the engine when fully loaded.

The front suspension is made according to the McPherson scheme, the rear is a dependent spring. Such a combination is typical for compact vans. But to this were added unique suspension settings and steering control. The Plus version became more stable on the highway and softer reacts to small bumps, which is especially noticeable in the passenger version, as well as when driving with partial loading of the cargo compartment.

Equipment and Driver's Workplace

The van offers a level of comfort and equipment close to that of a passenger car. Depending on the configuration, it includes multimedia with a 10-inch touchscreen display, rearview camera, parking sensors, climate control, and keyless access. In expensive versions, there were systems for monitoring tire pressure, ESP, and an extended set of electronic "assistants". The instrument panel is distinguished by large and well-readable indicators, and the high seating position provides excellent visibility forward. The quality of the finishing materials has been significantly improved: the plastic has become less rigid, and the ergonomics of the controls are more logical.

The engineers worked separately to reduce the vibrations of the diesel engine. It was not possible to completely get rid of the characteristic commercial hum, however, at speeds of around 100 km/h, the model is perceived as a quieter car. For long-distance intercity trips, this is of great importance, especially if we are talking about passenger versions.

Differences from Competitors

The key advantage of the van is the combination of technical simplicity, a spacious cargo compartment, and low operating costs. Already in the basic version, there are air conditioning, an electric package, and active safety systems, for which European manufacturers often require a serious surcharge. Another strong point was the adaptation to corporate needs. The manufacturer offers many factory configurations - from school buses to refrigerators and mobile service workshops. Thanks to the unification of the platform, maintenance and search for spare parts usually do not cause serious difficulties.

To a significant extent, these advantages of the van are ensured due to the presence in the standard equipment of 16-inch wheels and tires with a profile height of 70-75%. Such products are distinguished by high carrying capacity, which should be taken into account when selecting them in the "Mosavtoshina" online store, where both durable tires and reinforced wheels are presented.
