Maxus V90: generations, engines and what to check when buying
The Maxus V90 is a large van that's known as the Deliver 9 in Europe and some other markets. Here, we look at the V90's purpose, engine, body styles and what to check when buying a used V90.
V90 at a glance
The V90 is a large commercial vehicle designed for delivery, construction and service companies. It competes with classic large van models and offers a generous load space for the price.
Maxus is the commercial and passenger vehicle brand of Chinese conglomerate SAIC Motor, with roots tracing back to the British LDV company. The V90 is one of the brand's main commercial models, with its electric version known as the eDeliver 9.
Which version to choose
The V90 is produced in several versions that differ in body length and height and purpose. Aside from the van, there are passenger and cab-chassis versions.
When choosing, the key factors are load volume and gross vehicle weight rating. If you're dealing with large but light loads, opt for a taller and longer body, while for heavier loads, check the payload.
Engines and gearboxes
The V90 is most often fitted with a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine with a manual or automatic gearbox. This combo is suitable for frequent work and longer routes.
Check the specific power and consumption figures in the vehicle's documents, as they vary depending on the version. For electric versions, it's worth checking the battery and charging separately.
What to check when buying a used V90
First, establish whether the car was officially introduced to the European market or imported from elsewhere. Check that all registration documents are in order and that the car meets the requirements for use in Lithuania.
Start the engine cold: there should be no unusual noises, smoke, or fluid leaks. Test the gearbox at both low and high speeds, and check the brakes, suspension, and steering system.
Find out if there is an authorized service center or another mechanic familiar with the brand, and how accessible spare parts are. Ask for service records and check if manufacturer recalls or software updates have been carried out.
