It is the commercial transport and electric vehicle marque of SAIC Motor (China's largest car group), and its model line is focused on electric vans, minibuses and the odd electric pickup. Below you'll find what Maxus is, which models are relevant to the Lithuanian market, who they suit, what to watch out for and how to acquire a Maxus.

Maxus: who are they?
Maxus belongs to SAIC Motor — the Chinese state-owned car group that also owns the far more widely known MG brand. This is important to understand when choosing: behind Maxus stands a large manufacturer with a serious production base and experience in electric vehicles.
The history of the name itself is also interesting. "Maxus" originated from a model by the British commercial transport maker LDV. SAIC acquired LDV's intellectual property in 2010, and in the United Kingdom and Ireland the LDV brand was rebranded as Maxus in 2020. Today it is purely a SAIC brand, producing modern vans and electric vehicles for the global market.
Maxus's positioning is simple: affordable commercial transport, increasingly leaning toward electric. It is exactly the electric line that is the most interesting to the Lithuanian buyer — a segment in which Maxus often offers more for less compared with European equivalents in the same class.
Maxus in Lithuania — the market situation
It's important to be open: in Lithuania, Maxus does not yet have a broad official dealer network the way traditional commercial transport manufacturers do. In practice, Maxus is mostly seen here as an import and used-market brand.
Where Maxus is actually found in Lithuania:
- On classifieds portals (Autoplius.lt, Skelbiu.lt) — individual used examples;
- On commercial transport aggregators — supply is concentrated in individual listings of electric vans and used transporters on international platforms.
What does this mean for the buyer? Three things:
- Supply is irregular. You may have to wait for a specific model and trim, or look in EU markets where Maxus is sold more widely.
- Service and parts need to be planned in advance. As with other growing Chinese brands, it's worth clarifying parts availability and where the vehicle will be serviced from the outset.
- Importing is often the smartest route. Since local supply is limited, the right Maxus is often easier to source from the EU used-car market or order new directly through an intermediary.
If you're interested in Chinese brands more broadly, it's useful to also review the Chinese cars overview (BYD, MG and others).
Maxus model guide — what's relevant in Lithuania
Within the Maxus line, the most relevant part for the Lithuanian buyer is the electric one. Below are the main models. Exact specifications depend on the version and year of production, so treat the figures as guidelines rather than the single correct value.
Maxus eDeliver 3 — compact city van
Type: small electric van Best for: city deliveries, service companies for which maneuverability and low running costs matter.
The eDeliver 3 is the smallest member of the family, designed for city logistics. Depending on the generation and version, it is offered with different battery capacities (earlier versions starting from a smaller one, while newer ones mostly center around a roughly 50 kWh class battery). It is a practical choice for those whose priority is daily driving in the city rather than long highway journeys.
Maxus eDeliver 7 — mid-size electric van
Type: mid-size electric van Best for: companies needing more cargo space and greater real-world range than the small van offers.
The eDeliver 7 is a newer-generation model on a dedicated electric platform. It is offered with two battery options — about 77 kWh and about 88 kWh (usable capacity). The larger battery, according to the manufacturer, allows you to travel up to roughly 365 km on the WLTP cycle. The motor is 150 kW (204 HP), with torque of about 330 Nm. Fast DC (direct current) charging reaches roughly up to 90 kW. The battery uses LFP (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry, valued for its safety and longevity.
Real-world range, as with any electric vehicle, depends on cargo, speed and weather conditions — in winter it will be noticeably lower than WLTP.
Maxus eDeliver 9 — large electric van
Type: large electric van Best for: larger-scale logistics, companies with longer daily routes and heavy cargo.
The eDeliver 9 is the largest model in the van line. It is offered with several battery capacities — roughly from 51.5 kWh to about 88.5 kWh (depending on the version). All versions are driven by a 150 kW electric motor with about 310 Nm of torque. Fast DC charging power is more modest than the eDeliver 7 (according to the manufacturer, about up to 50 kW), so it is more of a return-to-base-and-charge-overnight type of work vehicle than one for long highway routes.
Maxus EUNIQ5 — electric 7-seat MPV
Type: electric MPV Best for: families or businesses needing 7-seat electric transport (chauffeuring, representation).
The EUNIQ5 is a fully electric 7-seat MPV. It is offered with battery options starting roughly from 52.5 kWh (in some markets up to about 70 kWh). It is a niche model for Lithuania, but it shows that the Maxus line is not limited to vans alone.
Maxus EUNIQ6 — electric SUV
Type: mid-size electric SUV Best for: those looking for a practical electric SUV at a non-premium price level.
The EUNIQ6 is an electric SUV, offered with roughly 52.5 kWh and about 70 kWh battery options, the more powerful version of which, according to the manufacturer, reaches about 177 HP. In Lithuania it is a rare guest, so acquiring one would most likely mean importing.
Maxus T90 EV — electric pickup
Type: electric double-cab pickup Best for: a niche — businesses needing an electric pickup with a cargo bed.
The T90 EV is one of the first series-produced electric pickups in this class. It has a roughly 89 kWh LFP battery and an approximately 150 kW motor, with a double cab for up to five occupants. In Lithuania this is a very niche model, but an interesting one for those for whom a pickup's working character matters and electric power is a benefit thanks to running costs.

Who Maxus suits, and who it doesn't
Maxus is worth considering if:
- You run a business or are self-employed and are looking for an affordable electric van for daily work.
- You mostly drive in the city and suburbs, and you can charge the vehicle overnight at base or at home.
- You value running costs — an electric van in the city is often cheaper to maintain than a diesel equivalent.
- You want more for your money — Maxus electric commercial models are often offered on competitive terms, frequently more accessible than European equivalents of the same size.
Maxus most likely won't suit you if:
- You need a broad service network around the corner in every city — in Lithuania, Maxus servicing and parts are worth planning in advance.
- You often drive long highway routes and need very fast DC charging — some Maxus models charge more slowly than the newest competitors.
- High resale value and wide supply matter — as a new brand on the market, secondary-market liquidity is still forming.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
- A clear focus on electric commercial transport — there's a choice by size (small, mid-size, large van).
- LFP batteries in several models — valued for their safety and longevity.
- Competitive terms in the segment — often more accessible than European equivalents.
- Behind the brand stands SAIC Motor — a large manufacturer with electric-vehicle experience.
Disadvantages:
- Limited official supply in Lithuania — mostly import and the used-car market.
- Service and parts require planning, especially for rarer models (EUNIQ5/6, T90 EV).
- Some models' DC charging speed is more modest than the newest competitors.
- Secondary-market value is still forming — as with other growing Chinese brands.
