Rivervale highlights the MAXUS Deliver 7 and eDeliver 7 – the vans that mean business.

As the commercial vehicle market continues its shift toward smarter, more sustainable solutions, two vehicles are generating some serious buzz – the MAXUS Deliver 7 and the MAXUS eDeliver 7. Bridging the gap between mid-size manoeuvrability and full-size capability, these models are setting the new standards for technology, efficiency, and all-day usability.

Backed by Rivervale, one of the UK’s most experienced MAXUS dealers, businesses now have access to these innovative vans alongside tailored funding solutions, long warranties, and transparent maintenance packages for peace of mind. Let’s explore whether the MAXUS Deliver 7 and eDeliver 7 live up to the high requirements set by fleet managers and business owners.

On the road: smart, silent and surprisingly sophisticated

We tested the all-electric MAXUS eDeliver 7 to see how it performs under real-world driving conditions, and the results were impressive.

With two battery options — 77kWh and 88kWh — and a range of up to 230 miles, the eDeliver 7 proves that range anxiety is becoming a thing of the past. The 150kW electric motor delivers smooth, instant power, and its regenerative braking makes stop-start city traffic surprisingly manageable.

Inside, the experience is more akin to an executive saloon than a cargo van. The 12.3” touchscreen is sharp and responsive, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and built-in navigation as standard. The digital dash provides clear battery and route info, while the 360-degree camera system makes city driving and narrow parking safer and simpler.

If electric isn’t yet feasible for your business, the diesel-powered Deliver 7 offers a robust and well-proven 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine, providing a familiar experience with added refinement and modern technology.

Versatility where it matters most

The MAXUS Deliver 7 range is available in L1H1, L2H1, and L2H2 configurations, making it adaptable to a wide variety of business needs, from last-mile delivery to trade and construction.

Load volume maxes out at 8.7m³, with payload capacities reaching over 1,000kg, depending on the specification. The flat load bay and dual sliding side doors make this a highly functional workspace on wheels. It’s not just about the drive, it’s about what it can carry, and how easily you can work from it each and every day.
