The LDV Terron 9 dual-cab 4×4 ute is due to arrive in Australia imminently, representing a significant leap forward in the brand’s offering. This larger, more sophisticated alternative to the T60 brings professional-grade capabilities to the competitive Australian ute market.
Bold New Dimensions That Command Attention
Measuring 5500mm long, 1997mm wide (excluding mirrors), and 1874mm tall including its roof rails, the Terron 9 is about 130mm longer, 79mm wider and up to 12mm taller than a dual-cab Ranger. The new ute has a body 97mm wider than the T60, while in terms of wheelbase and overall length it slots in between the current T60 Plus and T60 Mega Tub Plus.
Powerful Engine Technology
The Terron 9 is powered by a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine producing 163kW/520Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic and 4×4 as standard. This represents a significant upgrade from the T60’s 2.0-litre bi-turbo setup, delivering enhanced towing capacity and overall performance.
Comprehensive Pricing Structure
The pricing strategy reflects LDV’s commitment to value while positioning the Terron 9 as a premium offering. The base Origin is priced at $50,990 drive-away for ABN holders, though for a limited time LDV will offer it for $49,990 drive-away. The top-spec Evolve costs $55,990 drive-away for ABN holders, reduced to $54,990 for a limited time.

Advanced Safety Features
The Terron 9 incorporates comprehensive safety technology designed to meet Australia’s rigorous vehicle safety standards. The Terron 9 comes loaded with standard safety tech including autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera system.
Government-Approved Safety Standards
All vehicles sold in Australia must comply with Australian Design Rules, which set minimum safety requirements. However, there is a significant gap between this minimum standard and the standard required by ANCAP for a vehicle to receive a 4 or 5-star safety rating.
Premium Interior Technology
Both variants feature dual 12.3-inch digital displays and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features. The Evolve variant adds luxury touches including heated and ventilated massaging seats, a JBL audio system as well as front and rear diff locks.
Strategic Market Positioning
LDV will sell the two ute dual-cab 4×4 ute lines concurrently, with the larger Terron 9 priced higher. This dual-model strategy allows LDV to capture different market segments while maintaining their established T60 customer base.
Competitive Advantage
The Terron 9’s positioning becomes clear when compared to established competitors. The Terron 9 undercuts Australia’s biggest names in the dual-cab ute segment, including the $50,420 (list) Toyota Hilux Double Cab Workmate 4×4 and $50,880 (list) Ford Ranger Double Cab XL 4×4.
