The top-selling LDV Deliver 9, the Chinese brand’s large commercial vehicle offering, has lost a variant for the 2022 model year.
The Deliver 9 cab-chassis is no longer available with a six-speed manual transmission, though you can still get a manual with the van body style.
The range of cab-chassis, van and minibus models is otherwise unchanged except for pricing.
Drive-away prices are up by $2632 and $2633, depending on the variant, compared to the 2021 model year drive-away prices.
The Deliver 9 is now priced from $44,727 drive-away for the LWB Mid Roof manual van, and extends to $62,622 drive-away for the LWB High Roof 12- or 14-seater automatic bus.
To the end of June 2022, LDV has sold a total of 105 Deliver 9 bus models and 1482 van and cab-chassis models, taking the total to 1587.
It outsold the likes of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (1197 sales), Ford Transit (981 sales), Renault Master (843 sales), and Fiat Ducato (336 sales).
