We’ve been talking to you about it more and more lately because its arrival is inevitable: Maxus is coming to France! Owner of SAIC Group, Maxus is a Chinese brand of commercial vehicleswhich are already offered by several of our neighbors, and which, how a subsidiary brand of MG, stands out for its models with a very good price/equipment/service ratio. Today he presents a new model that we will certainly have the opportunity to discover in France: the eDeliver 7.

It sits very squarely between the eDeliver 3 and the eDeliver 9, two other electric vans that Maxus already offers in most European markets. It is located in the center of the utility market in Europe, This is from the front Ford e-Transit, Mercedes e-Vito and a whole constellation of Citroën, Fiat, Opel, Peugeot and Toyota minibuses manufactured by Stellantis. Available in two lengthsthis provides a download volume of up to from 5.9 to 6.7 m3and up to 2.91 m useful on the floor.

Ace of security

The design is modern, but without decorations: from the front, thin spotlights sit above a very typical “electric” honeycomb grille, while at the rear the design is more conventional with two giant vertical lamps that remind us of the Hyundai Staria lamps. The same story in the salon, where a Multimedia tablet 12.3 inches, which provides compatibility with electric Android Auto and Apple Carplay. The equipment is complex, to say the least, especially from a safety perspective, and includes, among other things, blind spot detection, lane keeping assistanceemergency braking with warning and reverse gear activation, driver fatigue monitoring, front and rear parking sensors and rear view camera.

204 horsepower and two battery sizes

eDeliver 7 on board one engine with a capacity of 204 horsepowerbased on your choice a battery with a capacity of 77 or 88 kWh. The latter provides autonomy to 370 kilometers, one of the best values ​​in the category, while the second already offers 318. On the other hand, the charging speed is limited to 80 kW in direct current, which is a bit weak when Stellantis offers 100 kW and Ford (and accordingly Volkswagen) 135 kW. Therefore, it will be necessary 43 minutes to charge from 10 to 80%.. And the price is clearly not as attractive as Maxus is used to. The eDeliver 7 starts in Belgium from €49,990 (excl. VAT) with a small battery and €51,990 (excl. VAT) with the most generous. Of course, the equipment mentioned above is standard, but it looks high in the face of very competitive competition.
