LDV G10

Rubbish, rubbish, unreliable vehicle. Never buy any ldv vehicles and never trust any dealerships that sell ldv range. I bought a new G10 back in early 2021 and nothing but problems. From water leak problems to electrical issues. Battery drains power. (New battery) I have to jump start my car every day. Remote/central locking not working. BCM… Read more

issues. Took it back to tynan motors service centre (within the 3 yr warranty period) over 14 times and been there around 35 days in total to be fixed and still nothing. They can't fix it. Now I'm left with a lemon and out of pocket to be fixed. DONT TRUST! DONT BUY! Vehicles faulty from manufacture .

I bought ldv g10 in 2024 When I got I noticed the door didn't Lock properly I asked ldv Melville in WA to Fix but They didn't do and they said they don't have the parts Then I moved to SA I did report to SA ldv I and I booked appointment to the drop My on that They said they don't have the parts So I did call ldv Australia they said… Read more

LDV G10 – Hi all my 2019 LDV G10 radio just went off I went to automatics service they cant fix it they said I have to go to a auto electrician don’t know who to trust just to fix a small problem anyone have the same problem?

Value for money – The car is good but the things I dont like are: 1. Cabin area floor is carpet, it should be plastic 2. Stereo touch system screen is a bit far cant reach comfortably 3. Should’ve been 3 seats 4. Stereo system could've been better 5. No digital thermometer to show outside temperature 6. Rear door not soft to close Show details

Good value! Drives well. Some improvements needed – Drive and handles well, use it everyday for trade. Tows very well, and can carry a lot. Can get full sheets of ply or gib plasterboard in the back with ease. Fuel consumption is on par with most petrol vans but it’s a turbo and petrol is so expensive now. If you want fuel economy in a van buy a hybrid or electric if you can get them and they don’t… Read more

break the bank.

Have done 20,000km in it and only had the plastic handle on the tailgate replaced. We service it at another workshop, and yes it’s plastic inside everywhere, it has a little bit of turbo lag but nothing too bad. The clock and the radio loose their settings and time, Bluetooth not too bad and Apple play works well.

The van gets a beating and seems to handle it everyday, I think the next generation of these vans will just get better. Hyundai & Kia were very poorly built in the early days, look at them now.

The transmission is strong and has all the safety features in stability control. Could do with a better coat of paint to protect it more and better rust protection.

Hopefully Saic MotorCompany take onboard the feedback and improve on this model. The value is fantastic for mid 33-38k vans, Toyota and Hyundai vans are now in the mid 50k mark. We will keep these for 3-4 years and trade it in.

Seems to be a lottery in terms of some owners having no issues or some having a lot of issues. I’m giving it a 4/5 based on value, performance, features. Some quality let’s it down a little like the radio resetting and losing its time. The plastic everywhere can be unappealing but the half leather seats In the van is comfortable. Agree it needs a front sensor but it’s pretty damn good. And I drove a Hiace for years and this is pretty close to it.

Update: 47000km on the clock and still going strong, no engine issues. Minor issues with Radio losing settings and the clock losing time. Surface rust in these vans are more apparent as the van gets older.

Don't buy a LDV !!! – To all the car buyers looking to buy a van for work or family vans , please do not buy LDV. Problems, problems and problems, price might be tempting, but later on further down the track, you will fork out lot of money more on extra repairs and maintenance. If you have the money, buy a hiace or staria, if you can't afford one, buy a 2nd hand… Read more

hiace or iload. Whatever you do, don't buy a LDV regardless if it's brand new or 2nd hand

I blame on the dealership and importers ! They should stop selling and importing this piece of rubbish immediately.......

Not reliable – Bought an LDV G10 new. In 180,000 it's done 2 egr valves. A 2nd one bought 2nd hand 130000ks it has done a timing belt. RUN from this brand Show details

Light bar install - piggyback connector issue – Has anyone ever installed a light bar on LDV G10+ 2022 model and had issue with the piggyback connector to it? I can’t find this connector anywhere here. (it’s a 12 pin connector)

Great Value for Money (Purchase) but expensive parts – I have had the 2018 G10 9 seater people mover for just over 5 years - dont do a great deal of driving (although I do use it daily), only done about 43,000 kms during this time. I service each year. The vehicle does not have Apple Car Play so that is a bummer. And today I was advised that it will cost about $2,500 for new LED daytime running… Read more

lights - passenger side only.

Also chews through the fuel - about 17L / 100kms

Other than that, am happy with the vehicle.

Waste of money – I have an LDV G10 with lots of transmission issues: a jerking issue and the main van body is rusting. It has no pick-up, and I've changed the turbocharger twice, which was a waste of money. Show details

Bad experience with LDV – Turning light won’t come back since it’s brand new car, still hasn’t been fixed for 2 years. Always got small screw missing somewhere. The front wheels cover broken because 2 front screw were missing, and front part drop down then roll apart by front wheel. LDV refuse to repair it, and blame me hit something cause it’s broken, but there is no any… Read more

mark around that even the bump bar. Then LDV refuse to answer. Also service is a joke. When booked service with them, always get called to push back, say the date is for other brand of car, their system been mixed up. What’s that to do with me? Very bad experience with LDV. Won’t even touch this brand.

Do not buy this Van – Extremely bad quality, do not waste your money and time to buy this van. Its just a peace of crape. Its 9 months now I bought this van and every single month something is wrong with it. Horn stopped working. Light bulbs gone. Stopped on the road due to parts failure. Service Center so used to its bad quality they don’t care of anything, even they… Read more

saying this is LDV and laugh. Called Customer care the issues going on they just said please choose one of their other service providers.

Read this before buying – I have had this since 2022 it’s done 9000kms. Used for work and long driving with ladder rack and large ladders on top always. All the back loaded. Pros : fuel economical is great. seats are comfortable with arm rests. and the van is easy to drive. large space in the back we can fit heaps of stock. Ac works well and heater. And the window de… Read more

fogger is great feature. Cons : The dpf plays up a lot goes into limp mod. Next time you get in it the warning dpf burn is gone. Been back to the dealer many times and still trying to iron out this issue! always something new lighting up on the dash. cruise control sometimes stops working so I turn off the van and it works again. Cruise control doesn’t hold speed when going down hills like all my other cars I’ve had. radio display flickers even when off and can’t hook up to Bluetooth. bottom ac display is so bright driving at night it reflects on to drivers side window catching my attention thinking a car is there. Also at night the reversing camera screen is brighter than the reverse lights. The chrome interior panels and pieces shine in my eyes when driving. head unit don’t keep time! gps maps I get half a screen. driving lights blow when I change one and then the other blows. front tyres wear out fast even after a wheel alignment. drink holders are horrible!!!! Pore exhilaration and brakes! If you want a cheap van this is for you.

Unreliable… do not buy an LDV Van – 2021 diesel. Used for deliveries 6 days a week. Very unreliable …. Not a week goes by without something failing or falling off; ** Passengers side electric window failed while open.. 5 weeks to get regulator… great in heavy rain and for after hours security. Southport dealers really didn’t care . ** Engine failed to start on 3 occasions requiring… Read more

Service call-outs.. great when doing deliveries! ** Fuel lid and fittings fell off… 5 weeks for parts ** Constant failures in tyre pressure monitors ** Highly dangerous turbo lag from slowing or stopping at roundabouts. This is a REAL safety issue. ** Dealer support in Southport is really unprofessional. Have to book in for service at least 4 weeks ahead.. servicing is expensive. ** I confidentially asked a service staff member if my G10 was just a bad one. I was advised that every LDV they have sold suffers similar problems constantly .. and they sell 100’s of these. If you need reliability from a work Van… DO NOT buy an LDV … better to buy a 2nd hand Hiace or Hyundai .

LDV G10 VAN – My g10 after 5000km totally shut down, couldn't start,lock, select gears, totally dead. Was towed to nearest dealer, no one knows how to get it going again, ldv won't allocate a loan car without a diagnosis of the problem, 3 weeks, still no loan car,! Show details

Repeated transmission faults across fleet of 12 vehicles – Don’t be tempted by low price relative to other trades vehicles. Price reflects quality. Service response extremely poor Show details

Internal lights not working in back of van – Has anyone had problems with the internal lights not coming on in the back of the G10 when the side doors open. They come on when the tailgate opens so I know they work.

DO NOT BUY – They are cheaper vehicles for a reason. We bought one and it is a total lemon! We've had nothing but troubles with it. The dealership and LDV point blame to each other for the issues, so years later we are still waiting for things to be fixed. DO NOT BUY! Show details

Review – 13000 kms on the clock and going ok so far but saying that I am waiting for this thing to break down as there seems to be a lot of lemons. Only issues iv had is paint work which chips off easy and more less rust starts straightaway. Few rust spots underneath the van which shouldn’t be there at all. Didn’t have a good experience at the dealership… Read more

as they sold me a van for the cheaper price then changed their mind after the contract was sign. Runs in paint work which till this day haven’t heard of them since I took the van for the service. I gave up chasing. Would I buy another one the answer would be no I wouldn’t recommend it at all. customer service isn’t the best parts are not available for months.

Engine blown @ 80,000km no assistance through ldv – Terrible car and terrible service bought a 2016 g10 petrol 2ltr turbo brand new had it serviced on all the right mileage But yet engine still seemed to fail and and blow for a replacement engine will cost you about $7000 more than what the car is worth to buy at the latest model seems absolutely ridiculous if you ask me it’s a disposable car if you buy this don’t plan on having it long very unreliable

Terrible experience with LDV and associated service centres – Bought a 2020 G10 in April 2020 , complained about the head unit not working correctly in the May 2020 had videos of it not work correctly, took it to my service centre nervous times, showed them the videos, showed them the fault, the mechanic said you need a new head unit, called LDV customer service number no help from them they said go back to… Read more

your dealership, complained to the OFT they said it will be fixed back in august 2022, now January 2023 still not fixed, in the October the car Lost power while away in Melbourne and Adelaide when I go to Melbourne took it to the dealership 2mins from my mothers house they said couldn’t look at it for a month called there sister dealership they were a month as well, call road side for assistance they couldn’t help me remember I have to get back to Qld that’s where I live, I turned the engine off, the power to the car came back it drove perfectly, go back to Brisbane 15min from home, lights started flashing got the car home called road side for assistance to get the car to a service centre that’s where the car has been since October, LDV won’t fix the issue (apparently the turbo) stay away do not buy because you won’t get any help from LDV!!!! Now I have continued my complaint with OFT Qld you buy a brand new car to drive not sit at a dealership for months. Also had fixed under warranty the chrome was tarnished with in 2 months of ownership Still waiting on cup holders to be fixed Dash wasn’t reinstalled correctly when rewireing head unit

DO NOT BUY THIS VAN!! – DO NOT BUY THIS VAN! OK so I admit I bought the LDV G10 diesel van in November 2020 because of it's low price vs the Hyundai iLoad and similar vans. Big mistake! Rather than write a long narrative concerning the trials and tribulations as a self-employed contract courier owning this awful van, I'll bullet point some of the things that you will… Read more

encounter if you are crazy enough to spend your money on this vehicle. All this happened in the the two years since purchase. Here goes (in no particular order):

1. The cruise control and air conditioning will suddenly stop working for no reason. Sometimes stopping and restarting the van will clear the problem. Other times they will only start working again after several hours with the engine resting e.g. overnight.

2. At 85,000 klms the timing belt regulator began to fail. Thank goodness the van was still under warranty. If not, then to fix this was a MAJOR job costing thousands. Any and all warranty work has to be authorised by LDV "head office in the east". Wait two weeks for that. Then the parts have to come from the east. Wait three weeks for them to arrive. Four days for the dealer to fix.

3. The radio power on/off push button permanently pushed in after only a few weeks, rendering the radio inoperable. It could function through the steering wheel radio controls, but these ceased to operate after a further six months. Didn't bother getting this fixed as needed the van on the road and not in the workshop again.

4. Apple Car Play and Bluetooth functionality was very poor and not worth the frustration when trying to connect phone. Stopped trying to use.

5. The outer fuel door lock failed in July 2022, so the door had to be jammed shut with duck tape (so remove the tape and re-tape after every re-fueling). The small part necessary to fix it had to come from China and was ordered in early August. The part finally arrived in December 2022. The van had done 110,000 klms, so out of warranty. $850 to repair!

6. In November 2022, the plastic bar on the tailgate (which houses the rear door latch, reversing camera and and rego plate lights) simply came off in my hand when lifting the rear door. Duck tape again. Luckily the part didn't have to come from China and the dealer actually had one in stock! This suggests that the dealer knew about the problem and anticipating the demand, had previously ordered some in.

7. The clock never worked correctly since new, gaining minutes every day.

Have now traded this rubbish in for a new van of a different, reputable make and I'm happy to pay a premium price for a reliable, well built vehicle. Wish I'd done that in the first place.

Please, please avoid the LDV G10 like the plague!

Regarding fuel economy – Just a word of caution. Fuel economy might no ne as good as you think. Just before i sold mine, i did my own exercise on it. It was "overstating" the kilometers! So yes, the fuel economy looked good but was it really??? Maybe just my van, but, i didn't follow up much on it as i sold it straight after. Thank god i did. It had 65ks on the clock,… Read more

service was spot on, driven gingerly and NEVER did i take it to more than 110kph. Yet, the new owner had the engine seize up at 105ks! Please reconsider if you thinking about an LDV product. Your dealer is not going to be much help, SAIC MOTORS would not want to know you and your so called friends be laughing at you. GOOD LUCK

Cheap to buy, expensive on the long run – The car is very cheap to buy for its size and car seats. However, the maintenance cost is high Had this car for around 3 years now It’s not fuel efficient, especially now with sky high fuel prices. The seatbelt material is cheap and thin, gets tangled easily. Other cars don’t have this issue. There’s problems with the car keys. It is sometimes… Read more

hard to lock or unlock the car. You will need to try a few times.

There is no boot size

The radio quality is poor. There seems to be issues with the antenna or poor signal connectivity. When you start the car, the radio turns on automatically and there’s no option to switch this feature off.

Servicing is very expensive when you go to a LDV centre. It is not cheap even going to a regular car mechanic.

There’s also been issues with the cars, e.g. the car shakes when driving.

I will not recommend purchasing this. Spend your money on a more expensive car than this as it will cost you less in the long run.

You get what you pay for I guess – Bought in 2021 new. Continual electronic issues and aircon inconsistent. Very dangerous at roundabouts and giveaways as engine does not pickup straight away. Serious safety issue Brought to service attention but always arguing as they say they can’t fault anything. Just put in again for new fault on deceleration. Wish I never stayed with LDV or serviced with Westpoint autos. Worst customer intereaction and no ownership Show details

Great people mover for price and comfortable – 2021 G10 9 seater with turbo petrol. I am 65 with kids, we use it for school and sport, holidays well just about everything. Reliable so far starts first push of starter button. Power is ample, brakes are very good, gearbox quiet after first gear. Aircon two stage works very well. Speakers on sound system are very good. Seats are a little hard for… Read more

my boney butt but my kids say they are great. Rear seat folds forward to give plenty of luggage room. Overall quite comfy inside. Lights are sufficient but adding extra long distant lights was a great help. Rear camera works well with beeping sound letting you know just how close you are. Needs sensor on the front as well as you cannot see the front of the van past the bottom of the windscreen. Overall happy with purchase from LDV.
