LDVDeliver 7

Model Overview

The LDV Deliver 7 is a medium-sized commercial van produced by SAIC Motor's LDV brand. Positioned as a key strategic model for the brand in the global light commercial vehicle (LCV) market, it caters primarily to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), sole proprietors, logistics operators, and large corporate fleets. The line-up comprises two powertrain options: the turbodiesel-powered Deliver 7 and the all-electric eDeliver 7. Serving as the successor to the LDV G10, the Deliver 7 was introduced to right-hand-drive markets such as Australia and New Zealand from October 2024, competing directly against rivals like the Toyota HiAce and Ford Transit Custom.

In the Chinese domestic market, the Deliver 7 is marketed under SAIC MAXUS as the "Xintu EV70" (electric version) and "MAXUS V70" (diesel version). The EV70 features an 88 kWh battery pack with an MIIT CLTC-rated range of 420 km, offering domestic customers a dependable zero-emission commercial solution. In international markets, the eDeliver 7 is priced from around RM59,990 in Australia, offering solid product capability and strong value against competitors like the Ford E-Transit Custom and Hyundai Staria Load.

Design Language

The exterior styling of the Deliver 7 blends the utilitarian robustness of European vans with modern technological aesthetics. Up front, it features a bold gloss black radiator grille accented by a full-width chrome strip and crystal-style LED headlamps for high visual recognition. Aerodynamic ducts integrated into the lower front bumper apron and streamlined wing mirrors also help reduce drag. Along the sides, clean and straight bodylines lead to a roof-mounted rear spoiler designed to enhance high-speed stability.

In terms of cargo utility, the Deliver 7 comes standard with a single sliding side door (dual sliding doors optional), while the rear barn doors feature a two-stage opening mechanism (90° and 180°) with a wide aperture to maximise loading and unloading efficiency. An overall vehicle height of under 2 metres ensures hassle-free access to underground car parks and low-clearance facilities.

Powertrain and Performance

The Deliver 7 is available in both internal combustion engine (ICE) and all-electric configurations, tailored to meet diverse commercial operational needs.

The diesel version is powered by a proven 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, tuned with minor market-specific variations to deliver between 123.5 kW and 126 kW of maximum power, with peak torque rated at 390 Nm. Drive is routed to the front wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission in a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Equipped with an 80-litre fuel tank, it provides substantial long-distance cruising range alongside a 2,000 kg braked towing capacity.

The all-electric version (LDV eDeliver 7) features a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 150 kW (approximately 204 PS) and 330 Nm of torque, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around 11 seconds. The eDeliver 7 is equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs ranging from 77 kWh to 88 kWh, with detailed specifications outlined below:

• Supplementary Notes: The WLTP/WLTC driving ranges listed above represent official homologation figures for international markets; the China-spec Xintu EV70 (88 kWh version) is rated at 420 km under the CLTC cycle, which is generally more lenient than WLTP testing.

• DC Fast Charging: The all-electric model supports DC fast charging, taking approximately 43 minutes to charge from 20% to 80% SoC.

The electric variant offers three selectable drive modes: Normal, Eco, and Power, with top speed electronically limited to 90 km/h in Eco mode to maximise driving range.

Chassis and Handling

The Deliver 7 is constructed on a high-strength monocoque body structure, featuring independent MacPherson struts at the front and heavy-duty leaf springs at the rear to ensure robust load-bearing stability under heavy payloads. With a vehicle height of just 1,998 mm and a tight turning radius, it manoeuvres effortlessly through narrow urban streets.

For braking, four-wheel disc brakes, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) are standard across the entire line-up, ensuring safe and composed stopping performance under heavy loads. Both diesel and electric variants employ a front-wheel-drive setup, fitted standard with 215/75R16LT or 235/65R16C tyres, along with a full-size spare tyre across all variants.

Cabin and Features

The Deliver 7 moves away from the utilitarian feel of conventional vans, adopting a driver-focused "smart cockpit" layout. Higher-spec variants come equipped with a 12.3-inch floating touchscreen infotainment display with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, DAB digital radio, and voice command functions, offering drivers a contemporary and convenient multimedia experience.

For long-distance driving comfort, the cabin is fitted with an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat with an armrest, complemented by a synthetic leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector. Standard equipment across the range includes keyless entry with push-button start, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, automatic LED headlamps, and rain-sensing wipers. The front cabin adopts a three-seater layout, with the centre seat capable of folding flat into a work table and cupholder console.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The LDV Deliver 7 delivers exceptional safety performance. In 2025, the diesel Deliver 7 was awarded a prestigious Platinum safety rating in ANCAP light commercial vehicle testing, achieving an overall score of 86%. The ANCAP assessment highlighted the outstanding performance of its AEB system in junction turning, lane support, and overtaking scenarios, earning top "Good" ratings in four critical areas: AEB Car-to-Car (Good), Car-to-Pedestrian (Good), Car-to-Cyclist (Good), and Lane Support (Good).

For active safety, the Deliver 7 is equipped standard with a comprehensive ADAS suite powered by a forward-facing multifunction camera, a 77GHz millimetre-wave radar, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. Key ADAS features include:

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): Covers car-to-car, pedestrian, cyclist, and reverse AEB

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): With Stop & Go functionality

• Lane Keep Assist (LKA): With Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)

• Blind Spot Detection (BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

• 360° Surround View Camera (Optional)

• Driver Monitoring System (DMS), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

In terms of passive safety, 6 airbags (dual front, front side, and full-length curtain airbags) are standard across the range, working alongside a high-strength safety cell structure and impact energy-dissipating crumple zones to deliver comprehensive occupant protection.

Market Performance and Reception

Since its market launch in late 2024, the Deliver 7 has established a competitive presence in the commercial vehicle segment by striking an attractive balance between utility and competitive pricing.

In terms of pricing and sales strategy, the diesel version has bolstered its appeal through attractive option packages. As of early 2026, the Deliver 7 SWB (equipped with the dual sliding doors, 360° camera, and 16-inch alloy wheel option pack) carries a drive-away price from RM44,726, with the LWB variant priced from RM46,832. In terms of warranty coverage, the ICE version comes with a 7-year/200,000 km manufacturer warranty, while the all-electric version is covered by a 5-year/160,000 km vehicle warranty and an 8-year/250,000 km battery warranty.

Media reviews of the Deliver 7 have been largely positive with some noted trade-offs. Automotive publications such as Drive highlighted the eDeliver 7's quiet powertrain refinement and dependable real-world efficiency, while pointing out that cabin plastic tactile feel trails mainstream Japanese rivals, and the rear suspension can feel firm over uneven surfaces when unladen. The eDeliver 7 also achieved an ANCAP Gold safety rating, earning recognition as an attractive green fleet solution. Regarding Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) reverse power capability, official specifications have yet to confirm if the eDeliver 7 supports this feature.

As of 2026, the Deliver 7 and eDeliver 7 continue to rival segment benchmarks like the Toyota HiAce and Ford Transit Custom across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and other right-hand-drive European markets, cementing SAIC Motor's global presence in the light commercial vehicle segment. As the electric version continues its rollout across international markets, the Deliver 7 range is set to provide versatile solutions for sustainable commercial transport.
