In March 2019, news of the patent about the Chinese company Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) launching a new commercial vehicle model called the V90 under the Maxus brand broke out, and the Maxus V90 was later launched during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show.[7]

Maxus was formed following SAIC's acquisition of the intellectual property of LDV in 2010, and the first model of Maxus is the predecessor of the V90, the V80, which is a rebadged LDV Maxus.[8][9] The LDV Maxus model was relaunched by SAIC as the V80 in June 2011.[8]

At launch, the price range of the Maxus V90 ranges from 150,000 yuan to 290,000 yuan.[10] The Maxus V90 is equipped with a 2.0 liter turbo diesel engine producing 150 horsepower and 375 N-m and fulfilling the National Standard VI Emission standard of China.[11]
