MAXUS DELIVER 7: Versatile panel van

Launch of the MAXUS DELIVER 7: Following its debut as an electric van, the spacious panel van is now also available with a conventional transmission. With the equally powerful and economical 2.0-litre diesel engine, MAXUS is responding to the growing demand and expanding the model range with an additional alternative that is just as versatile and powerful as the electric vehicle.

Available at prices from 29,990 euros net (RRP plus 19% VAT), the DELIVER 7 stretches over a good 5.37 metres in length as standard. This gives the van a load volume of 7.2 cubic metres and a payload of 1,140 kilograms. The two rear wing doors, which open at a 180-degree angle, and a sliding door on the passenger side simplify loading. The commercial vehicle can also tow up to 2,000 kilograms (permissible trailer load braked).

A powerful turbodiesel with common-rail direct injection, which is also used in the DELIVER 9, is responsible for propulsion: the four-cylinder engine develops 108 kW/148 hp and 375 Nm of torque from a displacement of two litres. A six-speed manual gearbox sends the power to the front wheels. The DELIVER 7 consumes a standard 8.0 litres per 100 kilometres, which corresponds to CO₂ emissions of 211 g/km. Customers can also adapt the driving and response behaviour via three modes: While "Eco" is designed for maximum efficiency, "Power" ensures maximum performance - the "Normal" mode maintains the balance in between.

Comprehensive standard equipment

Like the all-electric version, the diesel model also shines with extensive standard equipment. The short list of options is limited to the four metallic paint finishes silver grey, grey, blue and black, each of which is available for a surcharge of 650 euros net.

In addition to a single cab with an eight-way adjustable driver's seat and a double bench seat with a folding writing surface, other features on board include automatic air conditioning, electrically heated exterior mirrors, light and rain sensors, a reversing camera and a multifunction leather steering wheel. The central 12.3-inch touchscreen not only controls the DAB digital radio, but also the smartphone connected via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An electrically extending step simplifies access to the charging compartment.

LED headlights and daytime running lights improve visibility, as do the standard fog lights. The high beam assistant automatically switches between dipped and main beam, ensuring perfect road illumination without dazzling other road users.

The wide range of assistance systems includes Blind Spot Assist, Lane Change Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Cross Traffic Alert, Attention Alert and Driver Drowsiness Alert as well as an automatic emergency braking system with Forward Collision Alert. The cruise control system maintains the set speed

The five-year manufacturer's warranty for up to 160,000 kilometres offers additional security. The vehicles will be sold by Maxomotive Deutschland GmbH, a member of the internationally active Astara Group, and its contractual partners. The first deliveries of the DELIVER 7 to dealers and customers will take place this year.

The MAXUS brand

The MAXUS brand, which specialises in electric vehicles, belongs to the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), one of China's largest automotive groups with almost 100,000 employees worldwide. The company produces around seven million cars and commercial vehicles a year for the domestic market and for export. In addition to sales and production, SAIC is also responsible for research and development as well as design. MAXUS (formerly LDV) has also been one of the Group's various brands since 2010. SAIC has invested the equivalent of more than two billion euros in the company, which specialises in commercial vehicles, to improve safety, innovations and drive technology and to expand the model range.
