Seven-seater SUV showdown: Maxus D60 vs. Geely Okavango

Seven-seater SUV showdown: Maxus D60 vs. Geely Okavango

The sport utility vehicle is a popular category nowadays for a number of reasons. 

Some people prefer SUVs over other vehicle types because it is thought to offer safer, more comfortable driving and more spacious cargo capacity. Others purchase SUVs because they are after its off-road capability — as most SUVs can be driven through unpaved areas and difficult terrain. 

But many doubtless prefer an all-around vehicle — especially one with oodles of space. Seven-seater SUVs/MPVs/crossovers answer the call with ample legroom and free space for a more comfortable and drive most anywhere.

Geely Okavango

Two of the seven-seater SUVs that we will take a closer look at new releases: the Maxus D60 and the Geely Okavango.

After the launch of the Maxus G50 MPV, the auto brand recently unveiled the trendy D60 compact SUV, which boasts of deluxe comfort and a seamless drive for its occupants.

Maxus D60

The Maxus D60 possesses a thrilling and distinct appeal that grabs the attention of aspiring car owners and car aficionados. Its exterior is aligned with the so-called “Maxus Tarantula” concept, which depicts the dynamic and confident urban lifestyle of young professionals and growing families.

The Geely Okavango, on the other hand, is a large and powerful vehicle that delivers a wonderfully exceptional driving experience. It boasts of an energetic vibe combined with innovation and an expansive space.

This Geely vehicle has also been maximized to challenge the conventional image of an SUV with a multi-functional, comfortable, and fashionable crossover design. It features chrome layouts, a stylish radiator grille, and LED lights, which contribute to its exquisite and contemporary look. 

The Maxus D60 does not only take pride in good looks, but it is also fitted with one of the most fuel-efficient engines in its segment for a more controlled and seamless ride as well as better handling.

For the Geely Okavango, the ability to travel with efficient and smooth power makes every drive a unique adventure through its turbocharged engine with 48-volt Electric Motor Synergy. 

When it comes to its interior, the Maxus D60 flaunts numerous passenger-first niceties that make driving more relaxing and comfortable. It also takes pride in convenient access and available seating configurations for daily cruising.

Aside from convenience and comfort, both the Maxus D60 and Geely Okavango feature a host of active and passive safety systems that keep occupants away from danger. 

The Maxus D60 boasts of double-layer welding technology, regarded as an additional level of protection to keep you and your family safe in any road situation, as well as Isofix-equipped seats that aid in securing children while traveling.

As for the new variant of the Okavango, the Urban Plus, it is equipped with three seat rows that can be configured in 19 ways, as well as 42 cabin compartments for additional storage.

The Okavango Urban Plus also includes distinct features like the 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster and power liftgate, making it ideal for various road scenarios like urban travel, daily driving, and weekend or holiday family trips.
