- LDV has officially confirmed pricing for the upcoming 2025 LDV Terron 9 Ute.
- Introductory prices start at AUD$49,990 for the Origin variant, while the top-of-the-line Evolve trim model is priced at AUD$54,990.
- The new ute will hit showrooms in July with pre-orders available at the moment.

At long last, LDV has lifted the covers on its flagship Terron 9 in Australia, with the unique all-terrain vehicle slotting in above the existing T60 Ute. Competing with segment stalwarts like the Toyota Hilux and the Ford Ranger, the Terron 9 presents a unique opportunity. Larger than both current category leaders and decidedly cheaper at just $49,990 ($54,990 driveaway for ABN holders), the vehicle is bulky enough to satisfy the critics and affordable enough to make a serious splash. Make no mistake, the LDV Terron 9 could well prove to be the next big body killer.
Admittedly, the new Terron 9 still costs a hefty $10,000 more than the T60 Max, but as mentioned, it significantly undercuts rivals like the Hilux ($50,420) and the Ranger ($50,880). Do note that these prices are available for a short-term period only, after which they will be $50,990 and $55,990.

2025 LDV Terron 9 Performance
Available in two trims: Origin and Evolve, the Terron 9 will arrive in showrooms with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine developing 163kw and 520Nm of torque. The standard model also sports an 8-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, while the official fuel efficiency is pegged at 7.9L/100km.
Crucially, the Terron 9’s braked towing capacity is 3500kg, which makes for an impressive figure, all things considered. Measuring 5500mm in length, 3300mm in wheelbase and 1874mm in height, the Terron 9 is much longer than its T60 sibling and many of its rivals since it is 130mm longer, 79mm wider and 12mm taller than the popular double-cab Ranger Ute. The ground clearance is an ample 220mm (unladen) while it has a 29-degree approach and a 25-degree departure angle, along with a 20-degree ramp over.

2025 LDV Terron 9 Design
Design-wise, the Terron 9 really makes a statement, and it’s a divisive one. The new vehicle undoubtedly has a lot of presence, and while much of the design does play it safe, the larger grille is certain to divide opinion. The same can be said for the interior, which admittedly packs in a decent amount of kit standard like dual 12.3-inch screens, sox-way electric seats, a 360-degree camera, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto and 18-inch alloys. Further up the range, the Evolve model gets more features than the original since it adds bigger 20-inch wheels, heated and ventilated massage seats, a JBL audio system, heated rear seats, ambient lighting, and a front differential lock.
The Terron 9 will be available in limited numbers from July and will come in six colour options: White, Black, Spruce Green, Jewel Blue, Desert Yellow, and Concrete Grey. Picking any colour other than white will add another $500 to the price. As standard, it will also come with LDV’s seven-year/200,000km warranty.

“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.
He further added: “We have seen the Ute market evolve in recent years, including in the trade and workhorse space. These customers work hard and are often on the road all day, and they appreciate space and comfort as much as family buyers do. So, the new-generation LDV Terron 9 has been developed to reflect the changing demands on these vehicles.”

2025 LDV Terron 9 Pricing & Availability
Extensively tested across local conditions, the Terron 9 is aimed at taking a slice out of the Ford Ranger and the Toyota Hilux sales and the predicted range would be further bolstered by the arrival of the eTerron 9 electric version later this year.
