SAIC MAXUS DANA V1: All-Round Wealth-Creating Partner, Redefining the Benchmark of Light Vehicles

The SAIC MAXUS DANA V1 redefines the aesthetics of light vehicles with its "square-circle fusion" design philosophy, featuring a closed front grille and streamlined body lines that balance commercial stability with passenger-car-like tech sophistication. Its core strength lies in spatial efficiency and scenario adaptability: the short-wheelbase high-roof variant offers a cargo volume of 8.4 cubic meters and an industry-leading 98% loading efficiency, complemented by a 52cm ultra-low floor and 180°/260° split tailgate for direct forklift loading, catering to high-frequency urban delivery and community group-buying needs. For diverse use cases, the DANA V1 provides a pure electric multi-purpose passenger version, where the front three-seat layout transforms into a single bed, the 1.6-meter-long central platform doubles as a mobile workstation or dining table, and a camper variant supports upgrades with a 6.6kW V2L external power discharge function, enabling seamless transitions between "weekday wealth creation" and "weekend camping."

Technologically, the DANA V1 integrates a six-in-one electric drive system and CATL LFP batteries, with the 43kWh variant achieving a CLTC range of 305 km and 80% recharge in 30 minutes via fast charging. Its energy consumption drops to 15.9 kWh per 100 km, cutting operational costs by nearly 80% compared to fuel-powered vehicles. Safety is prioritized with a Euro NCAP 2025 five-star commercial vehicle certification, high-strength steel bodywork, and a full-steel partition design for dual protection of occupants and cargo. Built on SAIC MAXUS's MILA global pure electric smart light-vehicle architecture, the DANA V1 supports flexible combinations of four core modules—vehicle structure, battery system, drive system, and suspension—enabling rapid customization of 15 scenario-specific models with a development cycle shortened to 12 months, truly embodying "user demand as product definition."
