2025 LDV Deliver 7 diesel van review (Maxus van test)

[@daveishywood782]

If this is like the 9 well they are going to smash the market for fleet vehicles

[@nicholasmilton1902]

Went with white barn door Hyundai Staria Load instead, has a couple extra key features I needed.

[@therightcar]

Good one. Get a decent price?

[@nicholasmilton1902]

@@therightcar Yep

[@martynrumble3994]

LDV stands for Leyland Daf Vehicles a hangover from the the old British Leyland days

[@anasevi9456]

Glad they've brought over the diesel model, regional australia and much of its big cities are probably another 5-10 years out where tradies or anyone doing more than a bit of local shopping can go full EV.

[@simonmanners4108]

I agree.

[@therightcar]

Yep, well said.

[@ggwp6929]

Really curious with the new chery tiggo 4 pro. With 24000 starting price along with a range of safety functions. really wanna see ur opinions about it

[@therightcar]

I’ve got it this week, and will aim to publish pronto!!

[@nicasiohimoud6378]

hell yeah, i would consider it

[@mvnorsel6354]

Wonder if people buy these, convert it to a camper, a cheaper alternative, tell me what you think ?😅

[@nathansmith6914]

Have you seen the size of some of the Deliver 9's? Bigger than some people's apartments I reckon.

[@therightcar]

Could be a doable one on the cheap.

[@silverute]

That's what I was thinking of doing next year. Looking at different vans to convert.

[@gort3969]

So how do you turn the lights on and off if the infotainment screen malfunctions

[@donbrody8529]

I hope this is more reliable than the G10, mine has cost some serious money to keep running, just not as durable as the name brands.

[@N1rOx]

How many kms has it done?

[@donbrody8529]

@@N1rOx only upto 63k

[@Paintress]

@@donbrody8529what happened to it and how much did it cost to repair?

[@simonr23]

Gotta love cheap and thoughtless engineering philosophies: SWB 1.3 ton payload LWB 1.2 ton payload. Genius.

[@therightcar]

Same GVM, LWB weighs more. It’s just maths.

[@sidjyothi]

How is the fuel economy measured? Full tank method or using the trip computer?

[@paulsaleem7554]

Nice. Can you please test the KGM Torres soon?

[@therightcar]

I’ve got it this week and will post the review soon! 😎

[@mleolv426]

I’m shocked 😂

[@陈加伦]

I think this is more reliable running cost on diesel fuel is cheaper than petrol if I'm a small business owner I've would buy delivery 7 and 7 year 200k warranty Chinese car maker 2024 is a lot better than old school 15 ago

[@RedDog-e7v]

Chinese 50 cent army comment

[@NickHey]

We have a deliver 9 at work, im compiling a list of annoying things about it, such as: indicator stalk on the wrong side, hard to get into, lack of grab handles, no driver side wiizbang door, very little footloose when driving, unguarded steering column (so your feet twist with the steering), completely unable to switch the rear camera on when going forwards.. and lots more

[@therightcar]

It’s a different van to the Deliver 7, though. You realise that right?

[@dannyhong3195]

Sounds Iike my golf

[@ModestasJablonskas]

⁠@@therightcar Everything is correct as above and more - Terrible mirrors - Difficult A/C Controls - Terrible Rear Leaf Springs No Lift tale gate As the owner of multiple Vans that also included eDeliver 7 It is terrible vehicle to live with

[@johnniethepom7545]

Buying a cheap van is a false economy. I have a 24 year old Mercedes Sprinter, with the 5 cylinder 2.9 litre diesel engine . 340,000 k's and runs like a Swiss watch .

[@lucassitanggang5154]

LDV (Light Duty Vehicle), is it British car? Headquarters in Birmingham?

[@daweigo6851]

Chinese company

[@johnniethepom7545]

Leyland DAF Vehicles.

[@simonmanners4108]

Very nice. One van to rule them all.

[@therightcar]

Maybe!

[@ModestasJablonskas]

@@therightcar It is a Terrible Van I own many. Including EV vans for decades This is so far the Worst Van to date Even Old Mitsubishi L300 Was better

[@undertowsurf]

So you have one right?

[@fasolavoy]

Bosses like cheap. All day Drivers like comfort.

[@andrew6526]

Toilet doily front end. 🤣

[@therightcar]

Hahahaha can’t unsee that!

[@sunmarty]

Too small also not dual sliding doors

[@lesklower7281]

What are Chinese LDV famous for is rusting do Toyota Hiaces rust no and what Toyota Hiaces famous for been absolutely reliable that's why l would pick a Hiace over any other van and today l see 30 year old Hiaces still driving around doing van stuff why they are so reliable and when purchasing any work vehicle reliability should be the most important thing and that is why there are so many Toyota Hiaces doing van stuff in Australia

[@7s29]

The EV version is BS, diesel is king.

[@slee6559]

Looks like just simple copy of Hyundai Staria.

[@therightcar]

Bro, have you seen a Hyundai Staria? It looks like Robocop. This looks like a van.

[@daweigo6851]

Nothing like it....

[@jackturtle131]

You can't tow a caravan with it. A long way from an Iveco Daily

[@daweigo6851]

Not designed to tow a caravan,

[@waynepavy888]

6:29 LWB can only take an extra 5 kilo weight 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@therightcar]

No, the LWB can take 65kg less because it is heavier but has the same gross vehicle mass limit.
