LDV is expanded its MIFA people-mover range in Australia for 2025 with the introduction of an eight-seat variant, giving buyers additional seating options in what remains the country’s cheapest full-size people-mover van.
The updated range now consists of four models, from the Mode 7-seater, Mode 8-seater, Executive 7-seater, and top Luxe 7-seater. All are propelled by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine producing 160kW and 360Nm, matched to an Aisin eight-speed auto with front-wheel drive.
The entry LDV MIFA Mode 7-seater kicks off from $46,971 drive-away, with the new 8-seat variant positioned slightly higher at $47,990 drive-away. These prices are being offered for a limited time under a fleet pricing structure extended to private buyers. In a recent statement, LDV Australia general manager Dinesh Chinnappa said:
“We have been working with the factory on an eight-seat option for some time and we are delighted that we can finally deliver this option to our customers. The addition of the eight-seat version of the LDV MIFA people-mover is yet another example of the support the factory has for the Australian market.”
Standard safety and technology features in the base MIFA Mode include seven airbags, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning, and tyre pressure monitoring.
A 12.3-inch infotainment touch-screen with wired Apple CarPlay, 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster, LED headlights, and 18-inch alloy wheels also come as standard. The new eight-seat configuration introduces an extra child seat anchor point.
Higher up the ladder the Executive adds a 360-degree camera, power-operated sliding doors, and a powered tailgate, while the Luxe trim gets premium leather-accented seating with massage functions, ambient lighting, and a 12-speaker audio system.
All LDV MIFA models are covered with a seven-year/200,000km warranty. Showroom entry commences this month, with prices starting from the following (drive-away, for a limited time on in-stock models):
