So is this flashy Maxus GST

Under his belly is nothing more and nothing less than four electric motors. Adding strength, they were able to fully develop 1000hp and brutal maximum torque of 14,000 Nm. Its semi-solid battery promises a autonomy is also spectacular: 1000 kilometers.

To achieve this figure, GST Maxus –still in conceptual format– uses a completely new chassis architecture. It has the typical characteristics of a pure 4×4 SUV, with high-resistant steel for its construction and with independent and adjustable suspension in unlimited possibilities.

To give you an idea, it’s available 12 driving modes to be able to move freely in any terrain. Digital mirrors, electric footrests and steps, alloy wheels… are some of the exterior features.

If we want to access in thewe’ll see no B pillar and a truly futuristic aura. Own four seats in a rather strange arrangement: the front seats, for example, can be rotated from 45 to 180 degrees. In terms of technology, for example, autonomous parking system.

GST it shows possible future of a brand specializing in commercial road transport with electric technology. This pick-up can show us the basics of the future models being launched. We will be alert.
