Available to order now and priced from £48,774, it’s equipped with electric sliding doors and a hidden door handle design, plus a large panoramic sunroof. The seven-seater also boasts the best internal width ratio in its class, according to Maxus.

The Mifa 7 is offered in two variants, including a Premium trim model that features a 90kWh battery, giving a range of up to 298 miles/480km (WLTP combined), and married up with a 245hp electric motor.

The line-up also includes Luxury & Elite models, fitted with a 77kWh battery offering 255 miles/410km WLTP combined.

Maxus also showcased its eDeliver 5 eLCV, which sits above the eDeliver 3 and below the eDeliver 7 and 9 electric vans.

Priced from £34,000 (excl. VAT & reg fee) and also available to order now, it’s offered in one length and two heights, complete with double sliding side door to the side and a double opening at the rear. Payload is 1,200kg and cargo volume is 6.6m3 or 7.6m3 for the high-roof version.

The model revealed at the CV Show features a 64kWh battery, giving a WLTP combined range of 208 miles (335km). The 163hp electric motor delivers peak torque of 240Nm.

Equipment includes a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with Bluetooth and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Driver safety features bring adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and lane keep assistance, 360-degree surrounding camera and rear sensor, and speed limit warnings.

Both new models are due to start deliveries in August 2024.
