Overview
What this generation is, and who it suits.
The D90 is Maxus's large body-on-frame SUV, launched in 2017 by SAIC's commercial-vehicle arm and sold mainly in China, the Middle East and selected right-hand-drive export markets. Petrol 2.0 turbo and, later, diesel engines drive the rear or all four wheels, and the seven-seat cabin targets Fortuner-class family and fleet buyers; an updated D90 Pro strengthened the off-road positioning.
Its pitch is space and equipment for noticeably less money than the established Japanese ladder-frame SUVs. The counterweights are a brand still building its reputation, a dealer network that is patchy outside its core markets, and resale values that trail Toyota and Ford rivals. Where SAIC's Maxus network is established, it makes a rational value case; elsewhere, parts lead times deserve investigation before purchase.

Frequently asked questions
How does the D90 compare with a Fortuner or Everest?
It typically undercuts them on price while matching or beating their equipment lists, and its size is comparable. The Japanese and Ford rivals counter with longer-proven durability, stronger resale and denser service networks.
Is parts supply a concern?
In China and markets where SAIC Maxus operates officially, parts supply is generally adequate. Outside those markets the car is rare, so buyers should confirm local distributor support and typical lead times before committing.
