Maxus eDELIVER 7
Tested model: Electric
Applies to: eDeliver 7 (electric) and Deliver 7 (ICE), Model Year 2024 onwards
The eDeliver 7 is one of three vans sold by Maxus in the European market. It is well-equipped with safety features, both for crash protection - with driver and passenger airbags, and a side curtain as an option - and for crash avoidance. All of the main ADAS technologies are standard across Europe and performance is generally good. Overall, the eDeliver 7 gets a four-star rating, making it a good choice for those looking for a safe, mid-size van. The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system is standard equipment throughout Europe. The system combines AEB with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) that detects vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists as well as other vehicles. In Euro NCAP's tests of the system's reaction to vehicles, performance was good, tailing off only a little at higher speeds and where the target was offset to one side. The system performed adequately in tests of its reaction to pedestrians. For cyclists, the eDeliver 7 performed well, with collisions avoided in most test scenarios.
The standard-fit Lane Support System (LSS) gently steers the vehicle if it is drifting out of lane. The system intervenes more aggressively in some more critical situations to prevent the van from leaving the road but its reaction in some such scenarios was lacking. A blind-spot information system is standard equipment.
The speed assistance system uses digital mapping and a camera to determine the local speed limit. This information is presented to the driver who can set the speed limiter accordingly. Some of Euro NCAP's requirements for the speed limit information system were not met.
There is a standard-fit seatbelt reminder system for both the driver and passenger seat.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has not been assessed as part of the current rating.
