The Maxus Deliver 9 Electric is a large electric van that's practical and versatile. With a range of up to 219 miles and loads of equipment as standard, the Deliver 9 Electric is a great choice for businesses needing cargo space.
Rivals to the Deliver 9 Electric include the Ford E-Transit, Renault Master E-Tech, Fiat e-Ducato, Citroen e-Relay, and Vauxhall Movano-e.
Our Maxus Deliver 9 Electric review covers:
I sometimes feel bad for large van designers because how can you design a large van to stand out from the crowd? While the Deliver 9 Electric's body looks pretty traditional, it has a large front grille with horizontal panels that are more towards the unique end of the spectrum.
Inside the cabin, there's plenty of space for the driver and passenger. There's a good amount of seat adjustment for tall people, and there's also loads of storage space for all your gadgets, including an overhead shelf.
Three wheel lengths are available for the Deliver 9 Electric: 3,366mm, 3,760mm, and 4,048mm. Just one roof height is available, 1,792mm. Because of the different variants, you get a load volume of either 9.7 or 11m3 and a payload of up to 1,865kg.
All versions have a single-side sliding door, eight tie-down points and non-slip flooring.
Climb inside the Deliver 9 Electric, and you'll find it to be modern and comfortable. The dashboard feels well-built, and everything it features is within reach of the driver. What we like is that it's not been overcomplicated. It's a simple design and is fit for purpose for a business constantly on the move.
On the dash, there's a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a DAB radio and smartphone mirroring. It's a decent system that will fit the bill, but there's no denying it falls short of the more advanced systems in the Ford E-Transit.
Just one trim is available. It comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a single side-sliding door, air conditioning, a multifunction steering wheel, fabric seats, a 10-inch touch screen, keyless entry, parking sensors, a reversing camera with guide assist, cruise control, lane departure warning system, and automatic emergency braking.
The Deliver 9 Electric comes with a 150kW electric motor that's paired with a choice of three batteries, with 52kWh, 72kWh, and 89kWh.
Depending on your battery, the range varies from 147 to 219 miles, the latter of which is one of the best around. Charging capabilities are also the same depending on battery, running from 8 to 12 hours using a 7.4kW home charger.
The Deliver 9 Electric is a great van to drive for a large electric van. The extra weight of the battery makes it feel very secure when driving with empty cargo, and the steering is okay around town.
As you increase the speed, the electric motor can make a bit of noise, and you do notice a bit of wind and road noise, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. It's not as engaging to drive as the Ford E-Transit, but it's certainly better than the Renault Master E-Tech.
Prices for the new Maxus Deliver 9 Electric start from £60,900.00 OTR* or to lease from £690.42 per month.
