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.

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.

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.
