This is the Maxus eDeliver 3, which is the smaller counterpart to the eDeliver 7. Unlike the latter, the eDeliver 3 has already gone on sale in Malaysia and is being used by some companies here. However, we haven’t been formally introduced to the fully electric van, so here are the details you’ll want to know. For starters, the eDeliver 3 retails for RM 185,888 on-the-road without insurance, which includes a three-year, 100,000-km vehicle warranty; seven-year, 160,000-km battery warranty as well as one-year free service (parts and lubricants only).
For the money, you’re getting a van that
measures 4,555 mm long, 1,780 mm wide, 1,895 mm tall and with a wheelbase of
2,910 mm. Meanwhile, the cargo area has a length of 2,180 mm, a maximum width
of 1,665 mm (1,220 mm between the wheel arches) and maximum height of 1,330 mm.
This allows for a cargo volume of 4.8 cubic metres, with other important figures
being sliding doors that have a height of 1,230 mm and width of 710 mm as well
as turning radius of 5.87 metres. The kerb weight (excluding the driver) is
1,425 kg and the payload capacity is 945 kg – the roof has a max load weight of
75 kg.
As for the electric powertrain, the
eDeliver 3 has a front-mounted electric motor with peak outputs of 122 PS and 255 Nm. In Eco mode, these figures are reduced to 54 PS and 125 Nm to converse power consumption. The electric motor draws
power from a CATL-sourced lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with an energy
capacity of 50.23 kWh, which allows for a combined WLTP-rated range of 344 km.
With an AC input of 11 kW, the battery can get from a 5-100% state of charge
(SOC) in eight hours, or from 20-80% SOC in 45 minutes with a DC fast charger
capable of putting out 50 kW.
In terms of standard equipment, the
eDeliver 3 comes with manual air-conditioning, 15-inch steel wheels (alloys are
optional), automatic halogen headlamps, cruise control, ESC, two airbags, rear
parking sensors, a reverse camera, a multifunction steering wheel and a
seven-inch touchscreen head unit.
