Medium Van or Large Van? | 2021 LDV Deliver 9 v G10 | CarAdvice | Drive

Big or Small?
It’s nearing the end of the financial year and sales of vans and work vehicles in general climbs as businesses look to upgrade their fleet with the smartest tax advantage. One of the questions we get asked a lot is whether a potential van buyer should opt for a small or large van. More specifically here, we’ve brought together two LDVs – one medium and one large – to weigh up the differences and find the strong points of each.

The very best part of the presentation is NO BS MUSIC in the background .

G10 ticks for me . guddd on yaa Mite .

[marklukes]

I purchased the deliver 9.
And I absolutely love it..

[AristotelisMitsiou]

Another reason for the divider is safety. Less chance of anything you're transporting smacking your head in a front end crash

Made my G-10 into a camper. Love my Ldv. Drives well. Great van.

Good review. Good point on the dual sliding doors.

Downside to rear top hinge door, no forklift access.

Well done you I think you pretty much nailed the review and mentioned all the relevant points 👍

I buy and sell a lot of vans for my business and currently have 2 G10s a LWB 2020 Renault Trafic and a 2021 Peugeot expert.

Normally with any commercial vehicle if in any doubt buy the bigger vehicle be that the Deliver 9 over the G10 in this comparo or just LWB over MWB, there's nothing worse than a van that's to small and tight for the job.

I would have gone a Deliver 9 but for my multidrop business where the vans are parked at the employees homes overnight the Deliver 9 will not fit in there carports or garages, it also only has a single slider which as mentioned in this video can severely restrict how you load and deliver from your vehicle.

On sliding doors the Deliver 9s will be noticeably bigger, with a load guard in a G10 it impacts the sliding door greatly and you can struggle and scrape knuckles getting stuff in, the ILoad has slightly wider opening doors, the Expert is a lot better but the Traffics side sliding doors in a medium van is a massive jump up over the competition, loading is a breeze.

Barn doors for delivery drivers! It's easier and quicker to open.

Have had a G10 3hrs great vehicle av fuel over all 9-10 km per ltre, engine amazing done 50000km has never used any oil only issue cruise control needed a software update and DPF clogged needed sensors replaced, great van would buy another if needed 😀

One of the most comprehensive and well balanced reviews I've seen, well done...just a question; for a mobile tint business, I've had in mind the G10 or the t60 (ute); what is your opinion or would recommend? Thanks in advance

[stendecstretcher]

Great review thankyou. I would go for the G10.

[trevorbyron]

Like the Vito and sprinter high roof van

[ljt]

Just worked on a 2018 ldv today doors roof wheel arch were rusting out. Good looking vans but build quality are terrible.

[angusnz]

Any chance of a review on the G10 people mover. Sister looking at one (7 seater)….looks the part for a looser cruiser but as a egg crate are they any good ?

[eaglelocksmiths]

been looking at getting one of these, Does anyone on here have one with alot of Km's? What are some of the problems engine wise ect??

[kiwiace]

Do you know what the difference is between the v80 and this model?

[mitchelllea]

Can you get seats added to the back so I can put a baby seat in back

[youtoob]

Are these built as poorly as the ldv utes .

[electricdiesel]

Pat's LDV Sherpa Royal Mail was best than diesel-guzzling G10 and a windowless Deliver 9 diesel train bus; for the love of steam train kids go take an electric train or something...

[hakanyilmaz]

What the fck is that? Driver cabin is not separate from cargo cabin 😱 are you kidding me!!! This is bullshit. Packages can be moved to the driver's cabin easily in bad situation time like emergency braking and bad road conditions. It is absolutely very dangerous. Why they don't put a simple cage or simple metal wall?

WARNING THIS REVIEW IS MISLEADING. Please watch the well researched video by John Cadogan tited "DON'T BUY WARNING: The truth about owning an LDV in Australia | Auto Expert John Cadogan". John Cadogan discuses the massive Australian High Court ruling on LDV where the judge labeled LDV as made from "Poor quality steel with rusting inevitable in a short period of time". This report needs to URGENTLY INCLUDE THESE AUSTRALIAN HIGH COURT FINDINGS.
