2024 LDV Deliver 9 price and specs: Van, bus get more tech, grunt, warranty

The refreshedLDV Deliver 9 mightn’t look much different, but changes run the gamut from an updated powertrain to a superior after-sales program and more standard safety equipment.

Thus far, LDV has only detailed changes for Deliver 9 van and bus models. It’s calling these model year 2024 (MY24) vehicles.

All van and bus models get a longer seven-year, 200,000km warranty, up from just three years or 160,000km.

LDV also offers three years or 95,000km of capped-price servicing with a total cost of $2510, however this is up $548 on MY23 models equipped with an auto.

Under the bonnet is a new turbo-diesel engine that meets Euro 6 emissions regulations and requires AdBlue.

This 2.0-litre four-cylinder is not only cleaner than the engine it replaces, it also packs 20kW more power and 45Nm more torque for total outputs of 128kW and 420Nm.

It’s mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission sourced from ZF and shared with the T60 Max Plus, replacing the old six-speed unit. There’s no longer a manual option.

There’s a new electric power steering system, replacing the old hydraulic unit.

The amount of standard safety equipment on Deliver 9 van and bus models has increased markedly.

The updated model gains standard blind-spot monitoring, safe exit warning, emergency lane-keep assist and front parking sensors, while an electronic park brake and adaptive cruise control with stop/go is also now standard fit.

Inside, there’s a new 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, up from 10.1 inches. Android Auto is now available, joining the already standard Apple CarPlay.

Cosmetic changes are limited to a new gloss black grille.

Prices are up across the board. Comparing ABN holder drive-away pricing for MY23 and MY24 vehicles, the latter are between $4000 and $4500 more expensive. That includes the unchanged cab-chassis models.
