Daihatsu Gran Max with new updates

Daihatsu Malaysia today officially introduced the Gran Max Minor Change (MC) 2022. The Gran Max (MC) will see new updates on Power Window, Multimedia Player System with Reverse Camera and a 12v-24v Fast Charging USB Port.

“Daihatsu Malaysia aims to provide an overall driving experience in providing comfort, reliability, safety and above all convenience and practicality in every drive.” said Arman Mahadi, Managing Director of Daihatsu (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. Convenience and practicality are one of the strongest consideration aspects for commercial vehicle usage. Thus, the concept behind the Gran Max Minor Change (MC) is to honour the hardworking workforce behind every successful business, particularly the men and women behind the wheels of the Gran Max

CONVENIENCE & PRACTICALITY
The Gran Max (MC) now comes with power windows, for both driver and passenger. The power window enables the driver to control both windows independently and simultaneously, which adds to the overall convenience and functionality of the vehicle.

Safety concerns also comes to mind, considering that manual windows require additional time and effort to roll up and down, this diverts the driver’s attention away from the task at hand of driving safely.

INFOTAINMENT & CONNECTIVITY
Every driver prefers to have access to in-vehicle infotainment system that offer the possibility to act as co-driver i.e., driver assistance system, as well as the support for integration of external technology, connectivity and personalization. Infotainment and connectivity areas had become an important part of current automotive development and vehicle features enhancement.

The newly fitted multimedia player system comes with a reverse camera function, which greatly enhanced user experience. Featuring high resolution (7) seven-inch touchscreen display with smooth touch control and loads of infotainment features to keep drivers entertained and informed while on the road.

Supported by Android 10.0 Operating System, which is smarter and more powerful allows for a smoother and more efficient user experience. Comes in a double-Din head unit player with tuner, it provides user the option to access multiple media sources such as radio, MP3 player, Aux-Jack and USB port.

SAFETY ON THE ROAD
Road safety is greatly improved with the upgrade of reverse camera, which enhances standard safety feature. The reverse camera will significantly reduce the likelihood of minor accidents or collision as well as eliminates blind spots while backing up. Parking and reversing are now made easier and stress-free especially in tight urban city spaces and manoeuvring in busy traffic areas.
This newly enhanced safety feature also be of use to prevent injury and vehicle damage, as any accident avoided saves money in the long run from body repair and repaint work.

ENHANCE CONNECTIVITY
The Bluetooth function on board the Gran Max (MC)’s new multimedia player system interface now boasts Bluetooth 4.2, which makes mobile device pairing much easier and faster. Enabled with driving mode for mobile phonebook syncing on calls and music playback, it allows drivers to manage contact lists and can accept or end calls, even while driving.

ANDROID & IOS PHONELINK
The new multimedia player system interface makes use of the latest technology of Android and iOS PhoneLink. Supported by Android (2) two-way control and iOS (1) one-way control and connects via cable mirroring allows drivers to project smartphone displays onto the build-in screen of the infotainment system in the Gran Max (MC).

Display of GPS from mirroring and connected smartphone apps is now also available, given that the use of GPS is highly beneficial for commercial vehicle specifically. i.e., The use of GPS in fleet management would lead to efficient, optimised, flexible and user-preferred route structures. It helps delivery businesses and drivers in planning the most efficient and optimised route for daily deliveries.

SMART CHARGING
This additional 12v-24v fast charging USB port also added to ensure effective battery charging for a wide range of device profiles. A feature that would be greatly appreciated by logistics and transportation companies as it keeps most devices charged especially on long-haul trips.

With the addition of power window, multimedia player system with reverse camera and 12v-24v fast charging USB port as standard accessories fitted with the minor change, a Gran Max (MC) 2022 is now priced starting from only RM73,888* (NSP) effective June 2022. *Terms and Conditions Apply.
