LDV has continued its strong sales in 2021 with a first-half report card that shows the brand delivered 7184 units in June YTD, against 3163 over the same period last year.
The company is now looking for further sales with a new model, the G10+.
The new LDV G10+ will be fitted with a the 2.0-litre 118kW diesel engine which is also found in the T60 Trailrider and LDV says the G10+ now uses just 8.2-litres per 100km on a combined cycle.
Also new is an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox on both the new diesel and existing petrol model with paddle shifters, helping to improve and refine the drive experience thanks to smoother gearshifts.
“For just $1500 more than the standard G10, the new G10+ demonstrates our unrivalled understanding of the courier business,” says Dinesh Chinnappa, LDV Automotive General Manager.
“A more powerful and efficient diesel engine combined with a modern eight-speed ZF transmission makes a tough day of pick-ups and drop-off that bit easier. The new G10+ is quieter, more refined and better value than ever,” he added.
Inside, the dashboard and ergonomics have been updated with a new rotary gear selector, new material finishes, and improved NVH levels making for a more relaxed drive experience, we’re told.
The G10+ is built tough for the courier business. Its 5.2 cubic metre cargo area has a payload of 1093kg, and access is via two sliding doors as standard plus a rear lift tailgate which provides protection from the weather when loading. There is also the option of rear barn doors on diesel models.

The G10+ has multiple load tie-down points on the floor and the wheel arches, and there is tough floor covering throughout to protect both the vehicle and your cargo. And there are four lights in the load area along with an integrated step on both sides.
The G10+ van is on sale now, and is an upgrade to the regular G10, which has seen 1,517 units find homes to the end of June, a 161.6 per cent growth in 2021, proving that online shopping continues to have a knock-on demand in the courier business.
All new LDVs come with a three-year/100,000km (whichever occurs first) new vehicle warranty, plus roadside assistance for the period of the warranty.
