BARGAIN BASEMENT PRICING and good value for money are working for Chinese brand, LDV.
For the first half of 2021, the brand delivered 7184 units in June YTD, against 3163 over the same period last year.
The arrival of the new G10+ van should see sales continue to grow. The new G10+ van brings additional refinements to LDV’s light commercial offering.
With the addition of the 2.0-litre 118kW diesel engine – also found in the T60 Trailrider – the G10+ now uses just 8.2 L/100km on a combined cycle.
Also new is an 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox on both the new diesel and existing petrol model with paddle shifters, helping to improve and refine the drive experience thanks to smoother gearshifts.
“For just $1500 more than the standard G10, the new G10+ demonstrates our unrivalled understanding of the courier business,” says Dinesh Chinnappa, LDV Automotive General Manager.
“A more powerful and efficient diesel engine combined with a modern 8-speed ZF transmission makes a tough day of pick-ups and drop-off that bit easier. The new G10+ is quieter, more refined and better value than ever. If your office must be mobile, the G10+ is more than capable.”
Inside, the dashboard and ergonomics have been updated with a new rotary gear selector, new material finishes, and improved NVH levels making for a more relaxed drive experience.
The G10+ is built tough for the courier business. Its 5.2 cubic metre cargo area has a payload of 1093kg, and access is easy with two sliding doors as standard plus a rear lift tailgate which provides protection from the weather when loading. There is also the option of rear barn doors on diesel models.
The G10+ has multiple load tie-down points on the floor and the wheel arches, and there is tough floor covering throughout to protect both the vehicle and your cargo. And to make sure you are never left in the dark, there are four lights in the load area along with an integrated step on both sides.
The G10+ van is on sale now, and is an upgrade to the regular G10, a stalwart of the light commercial sector, which has seen 1517 units find homes to the end of June, a phenomenal 161.6 percent growth in 2021, proving that online shopping continues to have a knock-on demand in the courier business.
All new LDVs come with the peace of mind of a comprehensive factory-backed three year/100,000km (whichever occurs first) new vehicle warranty, and the reassurance of roadside assistance which supports you and your vehicle for the period of your warranty, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 365 days a year.
