About the LDV Maxus
The LDV Maxus was launched in 2004 as a replacement for the ageing Convoy and Pilot series, developed originally as a joint venture with Daewoo. It featured a VM Motori 2.5-litre common-rail diesel engine and was available in various wheelbases and roof heights. Despite a modern design for its time, the Maxus was the last product of the LDV Group before the company entered administration in 2009. The intellectual property was eventually sold to SAIC, leading to the brand's rebirth as Maxus (and V80) in China.
