LDV G10 for $100 a week
LDV has rolled out a keenly priced finance offer on its power-packed newcomer, the G10 vanUntil the end of November, approved ABN holders can get behind the wheel of a new LDV G10 van for just $100 a week and no deposit, thanks to a new promotion from the van's local importer and distributor, Ateco Automotive.
Backed by a three-year, 100,000 kilometre factory warranty and roadside assistance, the rear-drive G10 recently joined the V80 in LDV's local line-up and is currently Australia's most powerful van, following the recent departure of the V6 engine from Mercedes-Benz's Vito family.
The G10 is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine said to be good for a claimed 165kW and 330Nm, with the urge fed to the coil-sprung rear-end via a ZF six-speed automatic transmission.
The G10 is in fact based upon LDV's G10 People Mover, available in Australia in both seven- and nine-seater formats, and it comes in the one 3198mm wheelbase with a sub-2.0m roof height. That means it can access tighter multi-storey car parks that would be off-limits to the larger V80, which is available in three roof heights, two wheelbases and van and bus derivatives.
The G10 also boasts an internal volume of 5.2 cubic metres and a 1093kg payload, with its load bay accessed via a top-hinged rear door and two sliding side doors.
It doesn't want for features, either: the G10 comes standard with air conditioning, power steering, cruise control, electric mirrors, 16-inch alloys, a multimedia system with LCD touch screen, stereo and Bluetooth telephony, reversing camera and parking sensors.
While the G10 is yet to be rated by ANCAP, the van does come with front airbags, stability control, antilock brakes, roll mitigation and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
LDV is owned by Chinese behemoth SAIC, which claims to be the country's largest auto maker and is said to have produced over five million vehicles in 2013 alone.
SAIC purchased LDV from British Motor Corporation in 2009 – while the V80 design can trace its roots back to its British forebears, the G10 is the first all-new LDV produced under SAIC ownership.
