The Future of Utes? Meet the All-New LDV Terron 9 – Bigger, Smarter, and the First True Electric Challenger in the ute Market!
LDV Automotive Australia has confirmed that two prototypes of the new-generation LDV Terron 9 ute have landed in the country for local testing, setting the stage for a mid-2025 showroom debut. But this isn’t just another ute update – this is a bold step forward for a market that hasn’t seen anything like it before.
What Makes the LDV Terron 9 a Game Changer?
Let’s get one thing straight – this isn’t a replacement for the trusty LDV T60. The Terron 9 series, with its bigger, better dimensions, is here to expand the lineup and offer buyers serious choice.
Here’s how it sizes up:
- Length: A whopping 5500mm – significantly bigger than the T60 Plus
- Width: 1997mm – because wider means tougher
- Height: 1860mm – taller and prouder than the rest
- Wheelbase: 3300mm – space you can feel
Not only does it look the part for serious ute work and off-roading, but LDV assures prospective buyers that the Terron 9 has been thoroughly tested for Australia’s demanding conditions. From the backroads of NSW to the bustling streets of Melbourne and Brisbane, this ute has been put through its paces for performance, safety, and reliability.
Electric or Diesel? The Power is in Your Hands
Why choose when LDV is offering both? The company has kept its loyal diesel fans happy with the new generation Terron 9 Diesel, but the spotlight is firmly on its electric sibling, the eTerron 9. With fleets and businesses pivoting towards clean energy solutions, this electric ute could mark a turning point in Australia’s vehicle landscape.
“Several buyers are tired of messy, aftermarket conversions – they want an electric ute straight off the floor,” Chinnappa said. “The eTerron 9 is our answer.”
While pricing is still tightly under wraps, LDV has hinted at competitive pricing across the Terron 9 lineup, ensuring there’s something for everyone – whether you’re a weekend warrior or part of a large fleet.
Mark your calendars! The first LDV Terron 9s are expected to land in (Aussie) showrooms mid-2025, pending delays. However, demand is already heating up, as the arrival of these prototypes is sparking buzz among ute enthusiasts and industry experts alike.
