Overview
What this generation is, and who it suits.
The G10 is a large MPV/people-mover from SAIC's Maxus brand, in production since 2014 and sold in China alongside right-hand-drive exports, most visibly Australia and New Zealand, where it became a popular budget alternative to the Toyota Granvia and Hyundai Staria for shuttle and family duties. Petrol turbo and diesel engines drive the rear wheels, and layouts run to nine seats, with van versions in some markets.
Its strengths are space and price: few vehicles carry this many people this cheaply. Against that, the platform's van roots show in its ride and refinement, crash-safety ratings have historically trailed passenger-car rivals, and the badge carries little resale strength. As airport-shuttle and big-family transport bought on value, it does exactly what it promises.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the G10 best suited to?
Shuttle operators, large families and anyone prioritising seat count and budget over refinement. Buyers wanting a plush, car-like drive should look at the Staria or Granvia class and pay accordingly.
Petrol or diesel G10?
Where both are offered, the diesel suits high-mileage and loaded running for its torque and economy, while the petrol turbo is quieter and cheaper to maintain for lighter urban duties. Availability varies by market and year.
