Price Breakdown

The LDV eDeliver 9 starts from $118,836 before on-road costs, while the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter opens at $121,041. That makes the LDV eDeliver 9 the more affordable entry point by $2,205.

Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $130,720 and $133,145 respectively.

Both models qualify for Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) exemption, which is a significant advantage for salary-sacrificed novated leases. Depending on your tax bracket, this can save $5,000-$15,000+ per year compared to an equivalent ICE vehicle.

Feature Showdown

Both come with modern infotainment systems.

The LDV eDeliver 9 stands out with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, wireless charging and power tailgate that you will not find on the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.

Drivetrain

The LDV eDeliver 9 uses a Electric Motor producing 150kW and 310Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a FWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 12 seconds.

The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter counters with its electric setup making 150kW and 400Nm, paired to a single-speed automatic driving the rear wheels.

Power output is identical on paper, so the difference comes down to tuning, weight distribution, and suspension. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.

Battery: 88.6kWh (LDV eDeliver 9) vs 113kWh (Mercedes-Benz eSprinter). DC fast charging peaks at 80kW (LDV eDeliver 9) vs 115kW (Mercedes-Benz eSprinter).

Space & Comfort

The LDV eDeliver 9 measures 5,940mm long on a 3,760mm wheelbase, 1027mm shorter than the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter at 6,967mm (4,325mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter generally means more rear legroom.

Boot space is 10970L in the LDV eDeliver 9 and 14000L in the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter, giving the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter a 3030L advantage. The LDV eDeliver 9 seats 3 vs 2.

For towing, the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter leads with a 2,000kg braked capacity vs 1,500kg. That 500kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
