Five ways the LDV G10+ van delivers more for less

There are plenty of unanswered questions about the relationship between time and space in the scientific community.

But there are no black holes about how they work in business, especially if you’re involved in any form of delivery service like a courier.

For them, time and space are measurements of productivity, and ultimately profit. It’s a simple equation: the more space you have to carry parcels is an inverse proportion of the time it takes to deliver them, which is why it is critically important to choose the right van for the job, such as the LDV G10+.

It is a one-tonne delivery van that is nimble enough to navigate the urban jungle, comfortable and convenient as a mobile office and, most importantly, more than capable to carry out a hard day’s work.

So, let’s take a closer look to see what the LDV G10+ has to offer…

The LDV G10+ is a one-tonne delivery van that comes with the option of either a petrol or a diesel engine, the latter available with the choice of automatic and manual transmissions.

Importantly for small delivery businesses, fleet operations and companies with an eagle-eyed view of their bottom line, the G10+ is the most affordable model in its class, with prices starting at just $35,490 drive away for ABN holders for the latest 2024 model year version with a diesel engine and manual gearbox. Amplifying the value equation, LDV is offering further discounts on 2023-plated versions of G10+ still in stock, starting at $33,990 drive away for ABN holders.

The optional eight-speed automatic will set you back $2000 more on the diesel but comes standard with the petrol variant that costs from $35,990 drive away for ABN Holders (from $34,490 drive away for 2023 plated stock).

Apart from the three exterior colour options – Blanc White, Obsidian Black and Aurora Silver – the alternative powertrains are the only choice you need to make as all variants share the same generous list of standard features. This includes air conditioning, keyless entry with remote central locking, cruise control (on auto models only), power front windows and a 7.0-inch touchscreen that incorporates the audio system with Bluetooth connectivity and Apple CarPlay®.

The comfortable and supportive front seats are trimmed in synthetic leather, with a fold-down armrest for the driver, while the cabin provides plenty of convenient and secure storage solutions for small items, laptops, and documents.

Ensuring your business operates effectively all comes down to safety. And all LDV G10+ variants feature driver and passenger front airbags, tyre pressure monitoring, electronic stability control, Roll Movement Intervention, parking sensors and a reverse camera.

Buyers can choose to have the LDV G10+ with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder or a turbo-diesel four-cylinder of the same size.

The petrol engine generates 160kW of power and 330Nm of torque, consumes a claimed average of 11.1L/100km and comes standard with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission that drives the rear wheels.

The 2.0-litre turbodiesel produces less power (118kW) but more torque (375Nm) and is more efficient, with a claimed average fuel consumption of 8.2L/100km. It can be had with a six-speed manual gearbox or the ZF eight-speed auto.

All models have a 72-litre fuel tank, which delivers the potential to cover almost 900km in diesel-powered versions before needing to refuel, as well as four-wheel disc brakes, 16-inch alloy wheels (including a full-size spare), hydraulic power steering, and a fully independent suspension set-up with MacPherson front struts and a five-link rear with coil springs that give it a more car-like driving character than rival vans.

Most importantly, the LDV G10+ is a genuine workhorse that delivers on multiple fronts for busy courier operations both big and small.

Measuring 5168mm long, 1980mm wide and standing 1928mm tall, and with an 11.8-metre turning circle, it is perfectly suited to navigating the urban jungle with the ability to drive into many underground carparks and through narrow streets to loading zones that may be difficult to reach with a larger van.

Critically, the cargo area is capacious and offers easy access to load and unload large items. All LDV G10+ models have a sliding door on each side and a liftgate on the rear as standard. Diesel-powered models can be optioned with wide-opening twin barn doors as an alternative.

There are six sturdy tie-down points on the durable, non-slip floor and two extra on the wheel arches to secure whatever you’re carrying in the back, plus plenty of built-in points to help you fit out the cargo area to suit the specific requirements of your business.

The cargo area itself has a total volume of 5.2 cubic metres that is 2500mm long, 1590mm wide (1278mm across the wheel arches) and 1270mm high.

The LDV G10+ has a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of 3000kg, which equates to a maximum payload of 1093kg for the petrol version and 1015kg (manual) and 1010kg (auto) with the diesel engine. It can tow a braked trailer weighing up to 1500kg with the diesel and 1000kg with the petrol.

The LDV G10+ is the most affordable van in its class on sale in Australia and is covered by a three-year/100,000km warranty (whichever occurs first) that includes 24-hour roadside assistance.

If your business, no matter how big or small, needs a capable one-tonne van, consider that the G10+ delivers more for less.
