LDV has launched its new Terron 9 ute in Australia. Available in two models in a single dual-cab bodystyle, the Terron 9 is priced from $50,990 drive away for ABN holders and will sit above the existing T60 ute in the LDV line-up. The Terron 9 features a new 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine and can tow the benchmark 3500kg braked trailer.

The LDV Terron 9 range uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine making 163kW of power (@ 3800rpm) and 520Nm of torque (from 1500rpm to 2500rpm) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system. It’s rated 7.9L/100km for combined fuel consumption.

Measuring 5500mm long, 1997mm wide, 1874mm tall and riding on a 3300mm long wheelbase, the Terron 9 is 130mm longer, 79mm wider, 10mm less tall and rides on a 30mm-longer wheelbase than a Ford Ranger.

The Terron 9 is rated to tow a 3500kg braked trailer, its GVM is 3500kg and its GCM is 6500kg. The Terron 9 is covered by a seven-year/200,000km warranty and its service intervals are annual/10,000km for the first year and then every 15,000km afterwards.

“We want to make sure when a ute buyer walks into an LDV showroom, we have a vehicle that offers value across a range of price points,” said the General Manager of LDV Australia, Dinesh Chinnappa. “We are not going to leave our traditional ute buyers behind. Rather, the LDV Terron ute series will broaden our offering across the ute segment.
