LDV G10 new car review - Drive

And most seven-seat options – whether conventional people movers, vans or SUVs – aren't all that affordable. So what to do. While most tend to scour the second-hand market, new Chinese brand, LDV, is hoping to entice budget-conscious families with its G10, a cut-priced yet feature-packed people mover. The G10 is a conventional people mover based on a commercial van and comes in either seven or nine-seat configurations. To put it in perspective, more established alternatives such as the Honda Odyssey, Kia Carnival and Citroen Grand C4 Picasso cost around $10k more before on-road and dealer costs. Making it even more enticing, the G10 comes loaded with a decent spread of standard equipment that includes a six-speed automatic transmission, reverse camera and parking sensors, front and rear airconditioning controls, cruise control, 7. 0-inch... The nine-seat option costs $3000 extra and also brings leather-trimmed seats while metallic paint is the only option to tick at $500. While that may seem tempting for large families, it's not so hot on the safety front as it has airbag coverage... Source: www.drive.com.au
