The latest filing from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has revealed the MAEXTRO V680, the newest addition to the brand’s MPV lineup. Positioned differently from the previously unveiled MAEXTRO V800 in terms of length and wheelbase, the V680 offers a more compact footprint while maintaining the brand’s signature design language.

In terms of exterior design, the V680 shares the same front fascia as the V800, featuring a closed-off grille, distinctive 7-shaped headlights, and an illuminated MAEXTRO logo. The vehicle is equipped with a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor, with additional solid-state LiDAR units integrated into the front bumper.

According to official data, the MAEXTRO V680 measures 5,320 mm in length, 2,006 mm in width, and 1,850 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,290 mm. Compared to the V800 (5,495 mm length, 3,430 mm wheelbase), the V680 is 175 mm shorter in length and has a 140 mm shorter wheelbase, with the most noticeable changes occurring in the rear side windows and rear overhang. Notably, a trunk release button appears to be integrated into the end of the sliding door rail.

The rear profile features vertical, rounded-rectangular taillights similar to the V800, though the V680’s units are more compact. The rear bumper design is also slightly more streamlined compared to the V800. The roof sensor array includes cameras and solid-state LiDAR for advanced driver-assistance systems.

Inside, the V680 retains a 2+2+3 seven-seat layout. The interior is designed for versatility, with third-row seats that can be folded and flipped. This configuration allows the cargo area depth to expand from 555 mm to 1,451 mm, significantly enhancing storage capacity. The vehicle’s curb weight ranges from 3,070 kg to 3,135 kg, with a gross vehicle weight of 3,800 kg.

Under the hood, the MAEXTRO V680 utilizes a 1.5T range-extender powertrain. The engine produces a maximum power of 127 kW (170 hp). The vehicle features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, with a 160 kW front motor and a 230 kW rear motor. It is powered by a nickel-cobalt-manganese lithium battery supplied by Jiangsu Contemporary Amperex Technology, supporting plug-in charging. We will continue to monitor this model for further updates.
