2025 LDV Terron 9 price and specs: Bigger, all-new ute more than $10,000 dearer than T60

LDV’s first all-new ute in close to a decade is larger and more powerful – but now starts from about $50,000, less than a comparable HiLux or Ranger but significantly more than the T60 it will live alongside.

  • 2025 LDV Terron 9 pricing and specifications
  • New ute is one of the largest in the class
  • 3.5-tonne towing from 163kW 2.5-litre turbo-diesel
  • Cheaper T60 to remain on sale for buyers on a budget
  • Priced from $50,990 drive-away, excluding launch offers

The 2025 LDV Terron 9 dual-cab ute will start more than $10,000 dearer than the smaller and older T60 – alongside which it will be sold – when it arrives in showrooms in the coming weeks.

LDV will offer two Terron 9 variants – both with a 163kW/520Nm 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel and four-wheel-drive – priced from $50,990 drive-away with an ABN, or $53,674 for private buyers.

It bridges the price gap between other budget-priced Chinese utes – including the regular-size GWM Cannon, at $43,490 drive-away with an ABN in Ultra trim – and established competition from Toyota, Ford and Isuzu.

Slightly larger than the likes of the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux, the Terron 9’s closest size competitor is the GWM Cannon Alpha, priced from $49,990 drive-away with an ABN, before special offers.

The top-of-the-range Terron 9 Evolve – with premium audio, and heated and ventilated seats – will be priced from $55,990 drive-away with an ABN, or $58,937 drive-away for private buyers.

Similar money would only buy a Toyota HiLux SR 4×4 2.8-litre dual-cab pick-up automatic ($60,667 drive-away in NSW) or a Ford Ranger XL 4×4 2.0-litre single-turbo dual-cab pick-up automatic ($57,562 drive-away in NSW).

It is significantly more expensive than the outgoing LDV T60 – priced from $38,990 drive-away in Pro auto trim, and $45,490 in Plus auto form, both with an ABN – which will remain on sale as a cheaper alternative.

Later this year, the Terron 9 will be joined by a twin from MG, badged U9. Pricing for that vehicle is yet to be revealed.

An electric Terron 9 is also on the way, with prices yet to be confirmed.

Measuring 5500mm long, 1997mm wide and 1874mm tall, on a 3300mm wheelbase, the Terron 9 is longer (up 105mm), wider (up 97mm), taller (up 55mm) and broader between the front and rear axles (up 125mm).

It is not as long as the T60 Mega Tub – which quotes 5710mm bumper to bumper – but it is one of the largest utes in the class, and is claimed to be all-new from the ground up.

Powering the Terron 9 is a 2.5-litre turbo four-cylinder diesel engine producing 163kW and 520Nm, matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.

It is up on the T60’s 160kW/500Nm 2.0-litre twin-turbo engine, but the Terron 9 is about 300kg heavier in equivalent automatic forms.

LDV quotes a maximum braked towing capacity of 3500kg, gross vehicle mass of 3500kg, gross combination mass of 6500kg, and payloads of 1005kg to 1100kg.

A full list of specifications released thus far by LDV Australia – compared to equivalent versions of the T60, based on data published in the brochure – is included at the bottom of this story.

Standard in the entry-level Origin are dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless/wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear differential lock, cloth seats, power-adjustable front seats, and a full suite of advanced safety features.

The Evolve grade adds 20-inch wheels, a front differential lock, JBL audio, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and other items.

The “first shipment” of 2025 LDV Terron 9 utes has arrived in Australia and “will soon be on their way to dealers,” the company says, with deliveries to begin next month.

“Initially, the new-generation LDV Terron 9 will be available in limited numbers before production ramps up in the months ahead,” LDV Australia said in a media release.
