Maxus Deliver 3 Lease Deals
Compare live Maxus Deliver 3 lease deals below from an independent, whole of market broker. A small electric van with 4.8 cubic metres of load space, a choice of two power outputs and a car licence weight. See the larger Deliver 5, the Deliver 7, or the rest of the Maxus van range.
Why Lease a Maxus Deliver 3?
The Deliver 3 is a small electric van and, unlike a lot of electric vans, it was designed as an electric vehicle from the start rather than being a diesel van with the engine taken out. That matters more than it sounds, because a converted van usually loses load space or payload to the battery and this one does not have that compromise built in.
It carries 4.8 cubic metres with a 2,180mm load length, which puts it squarely against a Combo, a Caddy or a Berlingo, and at well under 3,500kg you drive it on an ordinary car licence. The part worth reading properly is further down: it comes in two power outputs, and the choice between them is not the obvious one.
90kW or 118kW: Which Maxus Deliver 3 Should You Choose?
Both panel vans have the same battery and the same load space. Everything else moves, and not in the direction you would expect.
| 90kW | 118kW | |
|---|---|---|
| Payload | 885kg | 1,045kg |
| WLTP range, combined | 148 miles | 141 miles |
| WLTP range, city | 213 miles | 200 miles |
| Maximum DC charge rate | 90kW | 57kW |
| Power | 122bhp | 160bhp |
| Torque | 255Nm | 225Nm |
| Gross vehicle weight | 2,500kg | 2,660kg |
| Towing, braked | 1,090kg | 1,030kg |
Read that table again, because it is the opposite of how vans usually work. The 118kW van carries 160kg more, which is a serious difference on a small van, and it is quicker. But it goes 7 miles less on a combined run, 13 miles less in town, and it charges at 57kW against 90kW, which is close to half the rate. It also has less torque, so the more powerful van is the less muscular one at low speed, where a loaded van actually works.
So the choice is simple once you see it. If weight is your constraint, take the 118kW. If you are back at a depot or a rapid charger mid shift and need the battery back quickly, take the 90kW, because 45 minutes from 5 to 80 per cent is a different working day from whatever 57kW gives you. If you are not sure which way your routes fall, tell us the weight you carry and where you charge and we will work it through with you against the rest of the van leasing range.
Maxus Deliver 3 Load Space and Dimensions
| Measurement | Figure |
|---|---|
| Load volume | 4.8 cubic metres |
| Load length | 2,180mm |
| Load width, maximum | 1,665mm |
| Load width between arches | 1,220mm |
| Load height | 1,330mm |
| Overall height | 1,895mm |
| Seats | 2 |
That 1,895mm overall height is worth noting before anything else: it clears most multi storey and supermarket car park height barriers, which a high roof van will not. If your work takes you under barriers all day, that single figure may decide it. There is one roof height, and the 1,220mm between the wheel arches is the number to check against whatever you actually carry on a pallet or a board.
One thing to know before you start comparing: the panel van comes in short wheelbase only. There is a long wheelbase Deliver 3, but it is a chassis cab for a body conversion rather than a longer van. If you need a longer load floor as a panel van, that is the Deliver 5, which is offered in two lengths and two roof heights.
Maxus Deliver 3 Battery, Range and Charging
Both panel vans use the same pack: 50.2kWh gross, of which 46.21kWh is usable. That gap is normal and deliberate, because a battery that is never charged to the very top or run to the very bottom lasts longer, and it is the usable figure that does the work.
The city range is the number to pay attention to on this van. 213 miles in town against 148 combined on the 90kW is not a quirk of the test, it is what happens when a van spends its day braking and the regenerative braking puts that energy back. If your work is urban multi drop, the combined figure understates what you will see. If you sit on a dual carriageway, it overstates it. The electric leasing pages go into how that pattern plays out across a contract.
Can You Drive a Maxus Deliver 3 on a Car Licence?
Yes, comfortably. The 90kW van has a gross vehicle weight of 2,500kg and the 118kW van 2,660kg, both well inside the 3,500kg limit of a standard category B car licence, with no additional entitlement and no tachograph. That is not true of every electric van, because batteries are heavy and some electric versions of ordinary vans tip over the threshold, which is why the rules allow a higher weight limit for alternatively fuelled vehicles. The Deliver 3 does not need that allowance at all, which keeps things simple if you are putting several drivers in one.
Safety: The Thing You Should Weigh Properly
We want to be honest with you about this one, particularly if you are putting an employee in the van rather than driving it yourself.
Autotrader rated the Deliver 3 2 out of 5 for safety in June 2023, noting that it comes with electronic stability control and essentially no advanced driver assistance systems. No autonomous emergency braking, no lane keeping, none of the equipment that is now standard on most new vans. For a self employed driver who knows their routes, that may be an acceptable trade for what the van costs to run. For a company putting a young or inexperienced driver in it for forty hours a week, it is a duty of care question worth taking seriously, and the larger Deliver 7 or an alternative from another brand may be the better answer. We would rather raise it than let you find it in an insurance conversation.
Maxus Deliver 3 Warranty and Business Leasing
The vehicle is covered for 5 years and the battery for 8 years, with the battery guaranteed to retain at least 70 per cent of its capacity in that time. The mileage caps attached to both of those differ between the two derivatives on the data we work from, so ask us to confirm the exact wording on the van you are ordering. On an electric van with a battery to protect, that is a two minute job worth doing before you sign rather than after.
On a business lease, a van is treated differently from a company car for both tax and VAT, and a fully electric van changes the picture again. Those rules move each tax year, so take the current position from your accountant. Where the Deliver 3 earns its keep is running cost on short urban routes, so tell us your daily mileage and whether you can charge at a depot overnight and we will cost it honestly against a diesel equivalent.

Maxus Deliver 3 Leasing FAQs
It depends which of the two panel vans you take. The 90kW version carries 885kg and the 118kW version carries 1,045kg, so the more powerful van is also the one with 160kg more payload. If weight is the constraint on your work, that makes the choice straightforward.
If payload decides it, take the 118kW, which carries 160kg more. If charging speed decides it, take the 90kW, which charges at up to 90kW against 57kW on the more powerful van and goes slightly further on a charge at 148 miles combined against 141. The 90kW also has more torque at 255Nm against 225Nm, which is what you feel pulling away loaded.
148 miles WLTP combined on the 90kW version and 141 miles on the 118kW, both from a 50.2kWh battery with 46.21kWh usable. In city driving the figures rise to 213 and 200 miles, because urban work puts energy back through the regenerative braking, so if your routes are multi drop in town the combined figure understates what you will see.
Up to 90kW on a DC rapid charger on the 90kW version, taking the battery from 5 to 80 per cent in 45 minutes. The 118kW version peaks at 57kW, so it is noticeably slower to fill despite being the more powerful van. If you need to top up mid shift rather than overnight, that difference matters more than the power figure.
4.8 cubic metres of load space, with a load length of 2,180mm, a maximum load width of 1,665mm narrowing to 1,220mm between the wheel arches, and a load height of 1,330mm. It seats two.
Not as a panel van. The panel van is short wheelbase only, and the long wheelbase Deliver 3 is a chassis cab intended for a body conversion. If you need a longer load floor in a van, the Deliver 5 is offered in two lengths and two roof heights.
Yes. There is no diesel version. It was also designed as an electric vehicle from the start rather than being a diesel van with the engine removed, which means it does not carry the load space and payload compromises a converted van usually does.
Its overall height is 1,895mm, which clears most multi storey and supermarket height barriers. A high roof van will not, so if your work takes you under barriers all day this is often the figure that decides which van you want.
Yes. Gross vehicle weight is 2,500kg on the 90kW version and 2,660kg on the 118kW, both well under the 3,500kg limit, so a standard category B licence covers it with no additional entitlement and no tachograph.
1,090kg braked on the 90kW version and 1,030kg on the 118kW.
This is worth weighing carefully. Autotrader rated it 2 out of 5 for safety in June 2023, noting electronic stability control and essentially no advanced driver assistance systems, so no autonomous emergency braking or lane keeping. For an experienced self employed driver that may be an acceptable trade for the running costs. For a business putting an employee in it full time it is a duty of care question, and we would rather raise it than have you discover it later.
Five years on the vehicle and eight years on the battery, with the battery guaranteed to retain at least 70 per cent of its capacity. The mileage caps on both differ between the two derivatives on the data we work from, so ask us to confirm the exact wording on the van you are ordering.
LetsLease is a credit broker rather than the lender. We arrange the agreement and place it with a funder such as Lex Autolease, Novuna, Ayvens or Santander, and that funder owns the vehicle and holds the agreement with you. Because we work across several funders rather than one, we can compare how each prices the same van.
