2023 LDV MIFA 9 PURE ELECTRIC PEOPLE MOVER FIRST LOOK FOR AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The LDV MIFA 9 presents a compelling electric people mover option for the Australian market, aiming to challenge established players like the Kia Carnival. During the first look and test drive, the reviewer highlighted its spacious and luxurious interior, particularly in the second and third rows, noting comfortable seating, ample headroom, and convenient features like climate control and USB ports. The driving experience was described as smooth and comfortable, with good handling for its size, though the reviewer noted a slight lag in acceleration and a desire for more adjustable regenerative braking. The pre-production nature of the vehicle meant some features were not finalized, but the overall impression was positive, suggesting it would appeal to families and commercial shuttle services. The reviewer also mentioned the 440km WLTP range and a 90kWh battery, with pricing around $40,600 AUD.
