LDV has opened order books for the eDeliver 5 in Australia, with pricing starting from $47,990 drive-away for ABN holders. That makes it the cheapest electric van on sale in Australia, undercutting the Farizon V7E ($49,990 drive-away), Kia PV5 Cargo ($55,990 before on-roads), Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo ($69,990 before on-roads), and Peugeot E-Expert ($79,990 before on-roads).
The launch price is available until 31 July 2026 at participating dealers while stock lasts. LDV has not confirmed what the pricing will revert to after that date. First customer deliveries are due in July 2026, earlier than the previously flagged 2027 timeline. Initial stock will be limited; LDV airfreighted the first examples to Australia for final validation ahead of deliveries.
Pricing
The eDeliver 5 is offered in three variants. All prices below are drive-away. The ABN holder price for the SWB low-roof is a limited-time launch offer applying until 31 July 2026.
Variant | ABN Holder (drive-away) | Private Buyer (drive-away) |
eDeliver 5 SWB low-roof | $47,990 (launch offer) | $52,621 |
eDeliver 5 LWB low-roof | $52,990 | $55,779 |
eDeliver 5 LWB high-roof | $54,990 | $57,884 |
Powertrain and Range
All three variants use the same front-mounted 120kW/240Nm electric motor driving the front wheels. The 64kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery is standard across the range. LFP chemistry is common in commercial vehicles for its cycle life and thermal stability.
WLTP range varies by body style. The SWB low-roof claims 335km; the LWB low-roof claims 321km; and the LWB high-roof claims 301km. These are manufacturer-claimed figures and real-world results will vary depending on load and conditions.
DC fast-charging peaks at 70kW, with LDV claiming a 20 to 80 percent charge in around 36 minutes. The eDeliver 5 also supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability, making it the first LDV electric van in Australia to do so. V2L lets the van power external devices or equipment from its battery.
Dimensions, Cargo Volume, and Payload
The SWB eDeliver 5 sits on a 3100mm wheelbase and measures 4800mm long, 1874mm wide, and 1960mm tall. LDV positions this against the Mercedes-Benz Vito and Ford Transit Custom in terms of size. The LWB version extends the wheelbase to 3450mm, while the high-roof variant stands 2180mm tall.
Variant | Cargo Volume | Payload | Wheelbase |
SWB low-roof | 6.6 m³ | 1,200 kg | 3,100 mm |
LWB low-roof | 7.5 m³ | 1,265 kg | 3,450 mm |
LWB high-roof | 8.7 m³ | 1,265 kg | 3,450 mm |
All variants come with windowless rear barn doors and windowless sliding doors on both sides as standard. Two-tone paintwork and other options available overseas are not offered on Australian-spec models.
Interior and Features
The cabin has a three-seat front layout with vinyl flooring. The 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster is also fitted. There is no indication LDV will offer additional trim levels or option packs at the Australian launch.
Warranty
The eDeliver 5 carries LDV's standard five-year/160,000km vehicle warranty, whichever comes first. The battery is covered for eight years or 250,000km, whichever comes first. LDV has not confirmed roadside assist terms for this model.
How It Compares: eDeliver 5 vs Kia PV5 vs Farizon V7E
The eDeliver 5 enters a compact electric van segment that now has three strong options under $60,000 drive-away. Here is how the key specs stack up across the entry variant of each model. Note that the Kia PV5 price is before on-road costs, while the LDV and Farizon prices are drive-away.
Spec | LDV eDeliver 5 SWB | Kia PV5 Cargo | Farizon V7E Standard Range |
Price (entry variant) | $47,990 d/a (ABN, launch offer) | $55,990 + ORCs | $49,990 d/a |
Battery | 64 kWh LFP | 71.2 kWh NMC | 50 kWh LFP |
Motor output | 120 kW / 240 Nm | 120 kW / 250 Nm | 110 kW / 230 Nm |
WLTP range (entry) | 335 km | 416 km | 240 km |
DC fast-charge speed | 70 kW | ~100 kW (10-80% in ~30 min) | 100 kW |
Cargo volume (entry) | 6.6 m³ | ~4.4 m³ (EU spec, AU unconfirmed) | 6.95 m³ |
Payload (entry) | 1,200 kg | ~690 kg (AU spec) | 1,243 kg (verify with Jameel) |
V2L | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Vehicle warranty | 5 yr / 160,000 km | 7 yr / 150,000 km | 5 yr / 200,000 km |
Battery warranty | 8 yr / 250,000 km | Not confirmed for AU | 8 yr / 200,000 km |
Deliveries | July 2026 | Late May 2026 | May 2026 |
The Kia PV5 offers the longest range and highest DC charging speed, but its payload is significantly lower than the other two. The eDeliver 5 leads on outright price during the launch period and offers a strong payload for a van at this price point. The Farizon V7E Extended Range ($53,990 drive-away, 66kWh, 329km WLTP) is a closer match to the eDeliver 5 on range and price, with a faster DC charge rate of 100kW. Note: PV5 cargo volume is based on European market data; Australian specification has not been fully confirmed at time of writing.
Why LDV Moved the Launch Forward
LDV Australia general manager Dinesh Chinnappa cited rising diesel costs and geopolitical uncertainty as drivers of the decision to bring the eDeliver 5 to market earlier than planned. The model had previously been expected in 2027.
Australian EV market share hit a record 16.4 percent in April 2026, up from 6.6 percent in April 2025. LDV's own G10 diesel van recorded a 42.7 percent sales decline in the first four months of 2026, though LDV does not break out diesel versus EV figures for its other van models. Combined sales of the Deliver 7 and Deliver 9 nameplates were up 16.3 and 1.6 percent respectively over the same period.
