In Singapore, the Maxus MIFA 7 Elite makes a case for the electric family MPV with room for seven and a driving experience the reviewer found more composed than its size suggests. It measures 4,907 mm long, 1,885 mm wide and 1,756 mm tall, with a 2,975 mm wheelbase. The review says it is larger than the Toyota Sienta, Honda Freed and BYD M6. A new Twilight Blush paint option adds a distinctive touch.
The cabin is straightforward to use, with roof-mounted air-conditioning vents serving all rows. With every seat occupied, the boot holds 280 litres, so larger family loads will require careful packing. The review praised passenger comfort and the suspension’s ability to handle uneven roads without feeling overly soft. Some controls felt inexpensive, while the audio system was described as merely adequate.
Power comes from a front-mounted electric motor producing 108 kW (145 bhp) and 350 Nm. The 77 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt battery is rated for 410 km of WLTP range; charging is supported at up to 11 kW AC and 120 kW DC. Maxus quotes 11.9 seconds for 0–100 km/h, a 170 km/h top speed and consumption of 20.8 kWh/100 km. The reviewer’s verdict: it is neither sporty nor flawless, but its comfortable cruising manners and well-sorted chassis make it a convincing family-focused alternative to the Sienta, Freed and BYD M6.
