How does it compare?
The Maxus Mifa 9, hailing from the bustling factories of China, stands tall amidst its peers like the Ford E-Transit, Mercedes-Benz EQV, VW ID Buzz Cargo, and the Renault Master Z.E.
Speed
The Maxus Mifa 9 takes the crown in acceleration, boasting a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of a blistering 3.8 seconds. In the bustling corridors of electric vans, that’s akin to a cheetah in a zoo enclosure. Compare that to the Ford E-Transit which lumbers from 0-100 km/h in around 10 seconds. The Mercedes-Benz EQV inches closer but still trails with a 0-100 km/h time of around 12 seconds. The VW ID Buzz Cargo and Renault Master Z.E. both take their time, clocking around 11 and 15 seconds respectively.
Range
Range is the holy grail in the EV world, and the Maxus Mifa 9 boasts an impressive 560 km (348 miles) on a single charge. This places it miles ahead—pun intended—of the competition. The Ford E-Transit hovers around 350 km (217 miles), while the Mercedes-Benz EQV offers a respectable 418 km (260 miles). The VW ID Buzz Cargo taps out at a practical 300 km (186 miles), and the Renault Master Z.E. falls behind with just 200 km (124 miles).
Power
Under the hood, the Maxus Mifa 9 delivers a muscular 245 horsepower, putting it ahead of the Ford E-Transit which generates around 266 hp. The Mercedes-Benz EQV churns out a solid 204 hp, whereas the VW ID Buzz Cargo comes in at 201 hp. The Renault Master Z.E. lags significantly with a modest 76 hp, making it the tortoise in this hare-filled race.
Charging Time
Charging times are pivotal, especially when you’re in a rush. The Maxus Mifa 9 takes the lead with a charging session that replenishes 80% of its 90 kWh battery in just about 30 minutes using a fast charger. The Ford E-Transit and the Mercedes-Benz EQV both need roughly 45 minutes for an 80% charge. The VW ID Buzz Cargo isn’t far behind, clocking in at 40 minutes. Meanwhile, the Renault Master Z.E. hangs back, needing about 2 hours to reach the same level.
Price
Finally, lets talk cheddar. The Maxus Mifa 9 is competitively priced at $40,200, £30,840, or €35,870. The Ford E-Transit comes in at $48,000 (£36,900, €42,800), which certainly makes a dent. The single-starred luxury van, Mercedes-Benz EQV, starts at a hefty $70,000 (£54,000, €62,350). The quirky VW ID Buzz Cargo sets you back around $55,000 (£42,580, €48,950), and the commercial-centric Renault Master Z.E. goes for an estimated $61,000 (£47,210, €54,300).
