400,000th Unit Rolls Off the Line: Global Pickup Expert Embarks on a New Decade

Over a decade of dedication, Maxus Pickup has achieved:

Interstellar Program Medog Initiative: Scene Innovation Unlocks New Pickup Lifestyle Values
At the event, Maxus officially launched the Interstellar Program – Medog Initiative as its first national stop of the year.
The brand donated the free use rights of the all-new Interstellar L to Gelin Village, Medog County, helping fully open the “last mile” of high-altitude mountain transport.
This enables local specialties such as tea and lingzhi to leave the mountains and reach markets directly, fulfilling the brand’s commitment to helping 270 million new rural residents achieve prosperity.
Beyond rural revitalization, Maxus Pickup expands into daily lifestyle scenarios, unlocking the versatile living attributes of pickups.
Yunnan 219 placed an order for 100 units of the all-new Interstellar L on site to create the industry’s first Pet Exclusive Line, breaking the traditional stereotype of pickups being limited only to agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and construction.
It redefines the practical boundaries and emotional value of pickups.
Based on the new milestone of 400,000 units, Maxus will continue to learn from users, empower through technology, refine its pickup product matrix, and deliver higher-quality products and services, enabling Chinese pickups to lead the world!
