Chinese name: 大通伊思坦纳 (dàtōng yīsītǎnnà)
Year of launch: 2009 (SsangYong Istana: 1995)
British commercial carmaker LDV, producing the LDV Maxus van, went bankrupt in 2009 and the remainings were bought by Eco Concept Limited and SAIC. The brand was relaunched in China in 2011 as Maxus (Datong), with the van being called Maxus V80. At the end of 2013 SAIC Maxus launched the smaller G10 MPV/van, in November 2016 followed by the T60 pick-up and just a few months ago its first SUV: the D90.
The Istana was relaunched in 2009 in China. As SAIC was the former owner of Korean carmaker SsangYong, it's likely that SAIC gained access to production rights and molds to produce the Istana. Likewise SAIC made its own version of the SsangYong Kyron as Roewe W5.
